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.

Valve assembly having improved cylindrical cam operation
A valve assembly includes: a rotary gear being rotated about a vertical central axis that is a rotational axis by force from an outside, and having a non-circular insertion hole on the central axis; a cylindrical cam being able to move up and down while rotating integrally with the rotary gear with an upper end thereof inserted in the insertion hole, and having two or more inclined slide grooves on an outer side thereof; a poppet shaft disposed through the rotational axis of the cylindrical cam to be able to move up and down integrally with and rotate independently from the cylindrical cam; a valve seat coupled to a lower portion of the poppet shaft; a housing and a cover that surround the cylindrical cam; and two or more bearing unit each having a first side fixed to the housing and having second sides respectively inserted in the slide grooves.

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.

FLUID METERING VALVE
A motorised fluid metering valve includes an inlet pipe, a discharge pipe and a motor moving a piston that can move linearly between a closed position in which a distal end of the piston sealingly engages with a seat of matching shape, and an open position. The valve is configured to have a flow rate that varies continuously between the closed position and the open position depending on an axial position of the piston. The inlet pipe opens in a periphery of the discharge pipe, with a constant protuberance regardless of the position of the piston, the protuberance not extending radially beyond a barycentre of the discharge pipe. Also, the motor is a rotary electric motor moving the piston in translation.
