Each of the exhaust runners includes a runner body having an inlet end and an outlet end, an exhaust conduit extending through the runner body, and a coolant passage extending through the runner body. The fluid-cooled manifold also includes an exhaust collection manifold including a plurality of inlets. Each inlet of the exhaust collection manifold is coupled to the exhaust outlet opening of a respective one of the exhaust runners. The fluid-cooled manifold also includes a coolant feed pipe and a coolant exit pipe. The coolant feed pipe includes a plurality of outlets coupled to the coolant inlets of the exhaust runners. Likewise, the coolant exit pipe includes a plurality of inlets coupled to the coolant outlets of the exhaust runners.

An internal combustion engine having an exhaust gas recirculation system includes a heat exchanger having a core configured to circulate a first fluid therethrough, a housing surrounding the core, and at least one coupler disposed between the core and the housing. The housing is configured to circulate a second fluid therethrough and across the core. The first fluid is different from the second fluid. The core includes a housing interface portion whereby the core interfaces with the housing to allow rotational and axial displacement between the core and the housing. The at least one coupler is configured to rotationally couple the core to the housing.

Systems and methods are provided for decreasing thermalization time and/or increasing coefficients of performance by adding waste heat. A thermal management system may include a coolant loop and be configured to cool a target component via the coolant loop, the thermal management system may be further configured to heat the target component during a thermalization period with a waste heat source via the same coolant loop with which the thermal management system is configured to cool the target component.

An engine includes an EGR device and a water-cooled heat exchanger. The water-cooled heat exchanger is provided on a downstream side of an EGR gas-introduction portion of an intake passage into which EGR gas is to be introduced and exchanges heat with gas flowing in the intake passage. A control device is programmed to execute condensed water-suppression control that supplies coolant having a temperature higher than the temperature of the gas heat-exchanged in the water-cooled heat exchanger to the water-cooled heat exchanger while a hybrid vehicle is traveling in a state in which the engine is stopped.

Present disclosure relates to air cooling chamber assembly. The air cooling chamber assembly includes: an air intake duct receiving ambient air outside of an internal combustion engine, an air cooling chamber cooling the ambient air received from the air intake duct to generate cooled air, and an air output duct providing the cooled air generated from the air cooling chamber to the internal combustion engine. The air cooling chamber assembly is connected to an air intake of the internal combustion engine to cool the ambient air to generate the cooled air prior to entering the internal combustion engine, and to provide the cooled air generated to the air intake of the internal combustion engine. The cooled air from air cooling chamber contains increased amount of oxygen molecules, and increased amount of oxygen molecules in the cooled air improves fuel efficiency and reduces greenhouse gas emission of the internal combustion engine.

An intake-air temperature controlling device is provided, which includes an engine body, an intake passage, a supercharger, a first passage, a second passage, an intake air flow rate adjuster, an intercooler, a pump, and a controller. The controller outputs a control signal to the pump so that coolant is supplied to the intercooler in a first operating range in which the intake air flow rate adjuster at least partially opens the first passage to supply intake air boosted by the supercharger to the engine body, and outputs a control signal to the pump so that the coolant is supplied to the intercooler also in a second operating range in which an engine load is below a given load, and the intake air flow rate adjuster opens the second passage and closes the first passage to supply the intake air to the engine body in a non-boosted state.

The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system provided herein utilizes a crossover (X) valve that is selectively activated at the direction of the electronic control module (ECM) to mix the high temperature (HT) and low temperature (LT) circuits of the EGR system under certain predetermined operating conditions. Thus, HT circuit fluid (at engine temperatures) is selectively fed into the LT circuit fluid (at ambient temperatures) to heat certain LT circuit components that are normally cooled by the LT circuit before starting the low pressure (LP) EGR in certain cold cycles. When this heating is finished, the X valve is closed to provide normal HT circuit/LT circuit fluid separation. The X valve can be controlled using a rotational actuator or the like. To avoid exposing the LT circuit to the high revolution-per-minute (RPM) operating conditions of the HT circuit, a HT bypass mechanism is provided.

An intercooler for a turbocharged internal combustion heat engine; the intercooler has: a cooling chamber, which is provided with an air inlet opening and an air outlet opening opposite one another; a plurality of exchanger plates, which are stacked on top of one another inside the cooling chamber, are arranged parallel to an air flowing direction from the inlet opening to the outlet opening, are spaced apart from one another so as to define corresponding air passage channels between one another, and are internally hollow; a circulation circuit, which allows a cooling fluid to circulate inside the exchanger plates; and a plurality of thermoelectric cells, each of which is mounted on a corresponding exchanger plate, and has a cold side resting on the exchanger plate and a hot side delimiting a corresponding air passage channel.
