VALVE DEVICE
A valve device for exhaust gas recirculation in the exhaust gas system of a motor vehicle that is driven by an internal combustion engine. In order to create a valve device that can be used as an EGR check valve in which a pressure loss relative to known designs is reduced even with small valve geometries, it is proposed for the valve device to comprise a valve body that is embodied as a separate part that is mushroom-shaped or umbrella-shaped and is axially guided in a supporting plate in a region through which the gas flows axial, rests with its umbrella against the supporting plate in a way that seals the region through which the gas flows in a closed position, and has an end stop for an open position.

High efficiency turbocharger with EGR system
In accordance with one aspect of the present disclosure, a turbocharger includes a compressor having a compressor wheel, a turbine provided within a housing, and an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) flow path. The EGR flow path includes a first fluid connection in the housing and located in proximity to the turbine, a second fluid connection located in proximity to a trailing edge of the compressor wheel, an EGR control valve disposed between the first fluid connection and the second fluid connection, the EGR control valve configured to selectively operate the turbocharger in a low-heat mode having an EGR up to 50% and an operational mode having an EGR rate typically less than 35%.
Engine device
An engine device including: an EGR device configured to circulate, as EGR gas, a portion of exhaust gas exhausted from an exhaust manifold manifold to an intake manifold; and an EGR cooler configured to cool EGR gas and supply the EGR gas to the EGR device. The EGR cooler includes a heat exchanger and a pair of flange portions. The heat exchanger has a coolant passage and an EGR gas fluid passage alternately stacked. The flange portions are disposed on the heat exchanger. An outlet of the coolant is disposed in one of the flange portions, while an inlet of the coolant is disposed in the other flange portion. An inlet of the EGR gas is disposed in one of the flange portions, while an outlet of the EGR gas is disposed in the other flange portion.

Engine system
An engine system includes an injector, an EGR device (including an EGR valve having a step motor) to recirculate part of exhaust gas of an engine as EGR gas to the engine, and an electronic control unit (ECU) to control the injector, the EGR valve, and others based on an operating state of the engine. The ECU is configured to diagnose foreign-matter lodging abnormality of the EGR valve and a lodged foreign-matter diameter based on detected intake pressure during engine deceleration. When existence of the abnormality and the foreign-matter diameter are determined, the ECU controls the step motor to hold the EGR valve at a first opening degree smaller than a second opening degree needed to remove a foreign matter before fuel cut to the engine by the injector.
Charging device with a wastegate valve device
A charging device may include a turbine housing and a wastegate valve device. The wastegate valve device may include a flap, a spindle arm, a wastegate spindle, an axial stop, and a lever arm non-rotatably attached to the wastegate spindle. The wastegate spindle may be rotatably mounted in a bushing disposed on the turbine housing. A wastegate duct may be disposed in the turbine housing. The wastegate duct may have a duct aperture enclosed by a valve seat. The duct aperture, when in a closed state, may be closed by the flap of the wastegate valve device. A sealing face of the flap may be defined by a sequence of at least two conical peripheral surfaces arranged next to one another and each having a different inclination.
High pressure loop exhaust gas recirculation and twin scroll turbocharger flow control
An exhaust flow control system comprises a housing defining first and second passages that are fluidly connected to first and second scrolls of a twin scroll turbocharger and to a high pressure exhaust gas recirculation (HPEGR) system, a poppet valve configured to (i) in an open position, fluidly connect the first and second scrolls to each other and to the HPEGR system via the first and second passages and (ii) in a closed position, fluidly disconnect the first and second scrolls from each other and from the HPEGR system, and a controller configured to command the poppet valve to one of the open and closed positions based on one or more engine operating parameters thereby allowing the twin scroll turbocharger to operate in both a twin scroll mode and a mono scroll mode while also allowing for HPEGR control with minimal additional system volume.
