In an EGR device in which an EGR passage is merged with an intake passage communicating with a compressor housing of a supercharger, the EGR passage is extended to the inner side of the intake passage with respect to a junction between the EGR passage and the intake passage, and the position of a terminal end of an extended passage section in an air flow direction matches the position of a terminal end of the intake passage, the extended passage section being the EGR passage extended. The merged passage section where the EGR passage is merged with the intake passage is a joint pipe that connects an intake tube and the compressor housing.

A camshaft includes, as a cam that opens and closes an exhaust valve and an intake valve, a ball cam whose protrusion amount changes according to rotation of the camshaft, wherein the camshaft has a double structure consisting of an inner shaft and an outer shaft provided in a manner that the inner shaft is helically displaced with respect to the outer shaft around an axis of the camshaft according to a rotation speed of the camshaft, and the ball cam is accommodated movably in a guide groove provided in the inner shaft and protrudes from the outer shaft, and a protrusion amount of the ball cam from the outer shaft changes when the ball cam moves in the guide groove due to the helical displacement of the inner shaft with respect to the outer shaft.

A regeneration system for a vehicle includes: a particulate module configured to determine an amount of particulate trapped within a particulate filter, the particulate filter configured to filter particulate from exhaust output from an engine; and a regeneration control module configured to, in response to a determination that the amount of particulate trapped within the particulate filter is at least a predetermined amount: close a wastegate of a turbocharger; and open an EGR valve connected (a) to an intake system of the engine downstream of the turbocharger and (b) to upstream of the particulate filter, the closing of the wastegate and the opening of the EGR valve flowing air from (a) the intake system to (b) upstream of the particulate filter through the EGR valve without the air entering the engine.

A convergent nozzle is in a mixer housing and in a flow path from an air inlet of the mixer to an outlet of the mixer. A convergent-divergent nozzle is in the mixer housing and includes an air-exhaust gas inlet in fluid communication to receive fluid flow from the convergent nozzle and from the interior of the exhaust gas housing. A first nozzle module is configured to be received in the mixer housing and, when received in the mixer housing, define at least a portion of the convergent nozzle or the convergent-divergent nozzle. A second nozzle module is configured to be received in the mixer housing separate from the first nozzle module. The second nozzle module, when received in the mixer housing, is configured to define at least a portion of the convergent or the convergent-divergent nozzle. The second nozzle module has a different flow characteristic than the first nozzle module.

An intake air filter box utilizing an intake air heater that inhibits the buildup of snow and ice within the intake air filter box, keeping the associated flow passages clear such that pressure loss is not adversely affected. This intake air heater can include an electric heater or a radiant heater coupled to the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system of the vehicle, or to another source of heated fluid. Preferably, the intake air heater is disposed on the “dirty” side of the filter disposed within the intake air filter box, adjacent to the intake air conduit and air intake of the vehicle. This is where the snow and ice accumulation occurs. A drain is provided in the bottom of the intake air filter box housing to allow the escape of water from the melted snow and ice, ensuring that this moisture is not delivered to the turbocharger and engine with the intake air.
