Rotary turbine bypass valve

A rotary turbine bypass valve comprises a valve chamber positioned at a junction of an inlet port, an outlet port and a bypass port, the inlet port configured for fluid communication with a flow of exhaust gas from an engine, the outlet port configured for fluid communication with an inlet of a turbine, and the bypass port configured for fluid communication with an exhaust aftertreatment device; and a valve rotor supported for rotation, about a valve axis, within the valve chamber. The valve rotor is rotatable about the valve axis between a first position in which the valve rotor permits gas flow through the bypass port and a second position in which the valve rotor blocks gas flow through the bypass port. The valve rotor is eccentric such that it includes a seal portion which is a portion of the valve rotor within the valve chamber which is furthest radially spaced from the valve axis; and as the valve rotor moves from the first position to the second position the seal portion moves towards the bypass port such that the radial separation between the valve rotor and the bypass port decreases to a minimum when the valve rotor is in the second position in which the seal portion is adjacent the bypass port.

Turbocharger System For A Two-Stroke Engine Having Selectable Boost Modes

A system and method of controlling a turbocharged engine system includes receiving a boost mode selection signal and controlling the turbocharged engine system in response to the boost mode selection signal.

Control device for an exhaust gas-conducting section of an exhaust turbocharger

An exhaust gas-conducting section of an exhaust turbocharger comprises a duct with a through-flow opening which can be fully or at least partially blocked or released by a closure element of a control device. The closure element is designed as a poppet valve. The closure element can be moved by an actuator can be disposed in a wall of the exhaust gas-conducting section. The closure element has a closure body with an annular section surface on its bottom surface which faces the through-flow opening. The section surface corresponds to an element seat formed in the wall. Its top surface faces away from the bottom surface and is designed in a profiled manner in order to produce a top surface at least partially corresponding to another element seat and/or to achieve flow-optimized circulation.

Hybrid vehicle and method of diagnosing abnormal condition of hybrid vehicle

In a hybrid vehicle, each of an engine and an MG1 is mechanically coupled to a drive wheel with a planetary gear being interposed. The planetary gear and an MG2 are configured such that motive power output from the planetary gear and motive power output from the MG2 are transmitted to the drive wheel as being combined. A controller makes WGV diagnosis for diagnosing whether or not a waste gate valve is normally controllable by issuing an instruction to a WGV actuator while the controller stops combustion in the engine and controls the MG1 and the MG2 in coordination to perform motoring of the engine during traveling of the hybrid vehicle.

An engine system includes an engine with an intake manifold and an exhaust manifold, a turbocharger including a turbine in communication with the exhaust manifold and a compressor in communication with the intake manifold, and a regulator configured to control a flow of exhaust gas through the turbine. A controller of the engine system is operably connected with the regulator and is configured to monitor an engine load and an exhaust gas temperature during operation of the engine, identify a proscribed engine NOx emissions level based on the engine load and the exhaust gas temperature and, when the proscribed engine NOx emissions level is identified, modify the flow of exhaust gas through the turbine to reduce the energy extracted from the exhaust gas by the turbine and reduce a drive power provided to the compressor, thereby reducing a flow of intake air provided to the intake manifold by the compressor.

Engine

An engine including an exhaust bypass valve and an intake bypass valve. The exhaust bypass valve is disposed in an exhaust bypass channel connecting an outlet of an exhaust manifold and an exhaust outlet of a turbocharger to each other. The intake bypass valve is disposed in an intake bypass channel connecting an inlet of an intake manifold and an inlet of the turbocharger. An intake pressure sensor detects a pressure of the intake manifold. If an instruction value indicating an upper limit or a lower limit of the valve opening degree of the intake bypass valve is continuously output for a predetermined time or more, an engine control device determines that an abnormality occurs in at least one of the exhaust bypass valve and the intake bypass valve.

Turbocharger turbine rotary bypass valve providing waste gate regulation and full turbine bypass functions

A turbocharger includes a three-way rotary turbine bypass valve (TBV) operable to selectively supply exhaust gases to a turbine feed passage leading to a turbine wheel, and/or to a bypass passage that bypasses the turbine wheel. The TBV is structured and arranged to close the bypass outlet of the valve when the turbine outlet is fully open, to partially open the bypass passage while the turbine outlet remains fully open, to fully open the bypass passage when the turbine outlet is partially closed, and to fully open the bypass passage when the turbine passage is fully closed. The TBV turns the exhaust gas flows through acute angles between inlet and outlets, mitigating pressure losses through the valve. Leakage to bypass is minimized by a labyrinth seal formed when the valve member closes the bypass outlet.
