This multi-cylinder engine intake structure is provided with a fresh air distribution chamber into which a plurality of fresh air distribution openings communicating with the individual intake ports are opened, and a gas collection chamber. The gas collection chamber includes a communication region into which a first communication opening communicating with the fresh air distribution chamber is opened, a first mixture region into which an air inlet and an EGR gas inlet are opened and which is positioned upstream of the communication region in a flow direction of a mixture gas of air and EGR gas, and a second mixture region positioned downstream of the communication region in the flow direction of the mixture gas.

An EGR gas distributor includes a gas chamber, a gas inflow passage to introduce EGR gas on its upstream side, gas outflow passages to discharge the EGR gas to branch pipes on their downstream side. An inner wall on a downstream side of the gas chamber is divided into downstream-side divided walls corresponding to the respective gas outflow passages, and the downstream-side divided walls are curved or slanted to be of protrusion-like shape protruding toward the corresponding gas outflow passages. Downstream-side dividing ridges are provided each between the adjacent downstream-side divided walls. An inner wall on the upstream side of the gas chamber is placed to face the downstream-side inner wall and provided with at least one upstream-side ridge protruding toward the downstream-side divided walls in each area corresponding to the downstream-side divided walls.

An integrated ITM micromixer burner shell and tube design for clean combustion in gas turbines includes an oxy-fuel micromixer burner for separating oxygen from air within the burner to perform oxy-combustion, resulting in an exhaust stream that consists of CO.sub.2 and H.sub.2O. The shell and tube combustion chamber is designed so that preheated air enters a headend having an array of ion transfer membrane (ITM) tubes that separate oxygen from the preheated air and anchor flamelets on the shell side. The combustion products of the oxy-fuel flamelets expand through a turbine for power generation, before H.sub.2O is separated from CO.sub.2 by condensation. A portion of the effluent CO.sub.2 is compressed back into the burner system, while the remainder is captured for sequestration/utilization.

Compressor for charging a combustion engine, comprising a compressor housing (1) with a volute (2), a compressor wheel (3) being arranged in the compressor housing (1), the compressor wheel (3) turning about an axis (A) and transporting gas into the volute (2), and an inlet channel (4), at least an end portion of the inlet channel (4) being oriented in the direction of the axis (A) in order to direct gas towards the compressor wheel in the axial direction, wherein an exhaust gas channel (5) terminates into the inlet channel (4) upstream of the compressor wheel (3), and wherein the exhaust gas channel (5) can be shut off by means of a valve (6), wherein a housing (8) of a driving device (7) of the valve (6) is integrally formed with the compressor housing (1).

An EGR passage of an EGR device includes a plurality of EGR introduction passages and an EGR chamber. A plurality of cylinders include a first cylinder subset and a second cylinder subset, each of which is a pair of two cylinders positioned next to each other. An explosion interval between the two cylinders constituting the first cylinder subset is shorter than that of the second cylinder subset. A first total volume being the sum of volumes of two first EGR introduction passages associated with the first cylinder subset and a volume of a portion of the EGR chamber located between the two first EGR introduction passages is larger than a second total volume being the sum of volumes of two second EGR introduction passages associated with the second cylinder subset and a volume of a portion of the EGR chamber located between the two second EGR introduction passages.

An engine system of the present disclosure includes an engine configured to drive a plurality of pistons by burning a mixture of air and gas, an air supply pipe through which the air supplied to the engine flows, a supercharger configured to compress the air flowing through the air supply pipe, a gas supply pipe through which the gas supplied to the engine flows, and a mixer configured to mix the air that has passed through the supercharger and the gas. The mixer has a venturi tube shape in which a cross-sectional area of a flow path decreases and expands in a flow direction of the air that has passed through the supercharger, and the gas supply pipe is connected to a portion of the mixer where the cross-sectional area of the flow path in the mixer is decreased.
