The present invention relates to a method for controlling an internal combustion engine arrangement (100) connected to an exhaust gas aftertreatment system (200), wherein the method is arranged to control a gas heating device ( 122), as well as a gas feeding arrangement to direct a flow of intake air through the exhaust gas recirculation conduit (112) from the intake system to the exhaust system, the flow of intake air being directed through the gas heating device before the intake air enters the exhaust gas aftertreatment system, in response to determining a requested start of the internal combustion engine to heat the aftertreatment system before starting the engine.

Method and system for thermal regeneration of a catalyst by inlet turbine exhaust gas from a diesel engine, where a gas split stream (08) is led from the engine exhaust (02) through an eductor (04) and further to regeneration of a catalyst, wherein a cold air stream (09) is used to keep the regeneration gas stream at a desired constant temperature range.

A method for operating an internal combustion engine includes passing air to a separation unit, separating the air into a nitrogen-enriched air stream and an oxygen-enriched air stream with the separation unit, passing the nitrogen-enriched air stream to a mixing chamber in communication with the separation unit, detecting a nitrogen content within the nitrogen-enriched air stream, based at least in part on the detected nitrogen content within the nitrogen-enriched air stream, moving an air valve between a closed position, in which the air valve restricts flow of an air stream to the mixing chamber, and an open position, in which the air stream flows to the mixing chamber through the air valve, passing the nitrogen-enriched air stream to a combustion chamber, passing a fuel to the combustion chamber, and combusting the fuel and the nitrogen-enriched air stream within the combustion chamber, thereby moving a piston within the combustion chamber.

An under-floor catalyst (33) includes a GPF (41) capable of trapping fine exhaust particles in exhaust gas, and a downstream-side catalyst (42) positioned on the downstream side of GPF (41). GPF (41) can be supplied with secondary air. When an internal combustion engine (10) is stopped during travel, the secondary air is supplied to GPF (41) in which the fine exhaust particles are accumulated. At this time, the temperature of GPF (41) is equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature. Thus, a deterioration in the exhaust gas purification performance of under-floor catalyst (33) at the time of the start of internal combustion engine (10) can be suppressed.

An actuator for a valve in an internal combustion engine includes an actuator housing, an electromagnet arranged in the actuator housing, the electromagnet comprising a yoke plate arranged at an axial end of the actuator housing, at least one clamping plate, and a sealing ring arranged at an axial side of the yoke plate facing the electromagnet. The sealing ring is pressed axially towards the yoke plate via the at least one clamping plate.

A regeneration system includes a first module, a mode selection module and an adsorber regeneration control (ARC) module. The first module monitors at least one of (i) a temperature of a first catalyst of a catalyst assembly in an exhaust system of an engine and (ii) an active catalyst volume of the first catalyst. The mode selection module is configured to select an adsorber regeneration mode and generates a mode signal based on the at least one of the temperature and the active catalyst volume. The ARC module at least one of activates an air pump and cranks the engine to regenerate an adsorber of the catalyst assembly while the engine is deactivated based on the mode signal.

A system and method for purifying engine exhaust by using ozone; the system for purifying engine exhaust by using ozone comprises a reaction field (202), which is used to mix an ozone stream and an exhaust stream for reaction; the system has an excellent purification effect without needing to add a large amount of urea.

An exhaust gas treatment system, comprising an ozone purification system. The ozone purification system comprises an ozone amount control apparatus (209), used to control an amount of ozone so as to effectively oxidize gas components to be treated in exhaust gas, the ozone amount control apparatus (209) comprising a control unit (2091). By means of the present exhaust gas treatment system, particulate matter can be effectively removed from exhaust gas, and the system features a better exhaust gas purification treatment effect.
