Internal combustion engine with at least one turbocharger having a compressor, a bypass valve by means of which the compressor can be bypassed by at least a partial flow of a fuel mixture provided for the combustion, and a control or regulating unit connected to the bypass valve for regulating or controlling a degree of opening of the bypass valve, whereby the control or regulating unit is designed to open and/or at least partially keep open the bypass valve when starting the internal combustion engine.

A compressor intake mixer system for internal combustion gas engines having a compressed charge bypass system comprises a bypass charge and fuel pre-mixer connected in line with the charge bypass system to reduce pressure gradient between the high pressure bypass charge and the low pressure fuel. A single volume main mixer is connected to the compressor inlet downstream of the pre-mixer to mix the flow of premixed charge and air and provide a mixed gas to the compressor inlet. Thus a need for a separate volume for a fuel mixer and a bypass mixer is eliminated and a single volume is provided at the compressor inlet. The locational constraint of necessarily locating the volumes at the compressor inlet is also obviated by providing a pre-mixer.

A control device for an internal combustion engine is configured to: calculate a target intake air amount and a target charging efficiency based on a target torque; control an opening degree of a throttle valve (6) based on the target intake air amount; calculate a target supercharger downstream pressure based on the target charging efficiency; detect a pressure on an upstream side of a supercharger; calculate a target compressor driving force based on the target intake air amount, the target supercharger downstream pressure, and the supercharger upstream pressure; and calculate a target bypass valve opening degree based on the target compressor driving force, to thereby control an opening degree of a bypass valve (12) provided to a bypass passage for bypassing the supercharger.

A method of operating a forced induction gaseous-fueled engine includes mixing gaseous-fuel and engine intake air to form a mixture at a fuel mixer. The method includes delivering the mixture to an intake manifold by at least partially bypassing a charge air cooler.

An engine system includes an intake line, an exhaust line, an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system, a turbocharger including a turbine provided in the exhaust line, and a compressor provided in the intake line, wherein the compressor compresses outside air, an intake bypass line which branches off from the intake line at a rear end of the compressor and merges into the intake line at the front end of the compressor, a recirculation valve installed at a point at which the intake bypass line and the intake line merge together, and a controller which controls operations of opening and closing the recirculation valve so that a portion of the intake gas compressed by the compressor is supplied into the intake line at the front end of the compressor through the intake bypass line, or the intake gas is supplied into the combustion chamber through the intake bypass line.

An engine system includes: an intake line through which fresh air flows; an exhaust line through which exhaust gas flows; an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system which recirculates some of exhaust gas to a combustion chamber; a turbocharger having: a turbine that rotates by the exhaust gas; and a compressor rotating by the rotation of the turbine; an intercooler disposed in the intake line at a rear end of the compressor; an intake bypass line penetrating the intercooler from the intake line, adjusting the amount of intake gas to be supplied into the combustion chamber, and merging into the intake line at a front end of the compressor; a recirculation valve disposed in the intake bypass line; and a controller controlling opening and closing of the recirculation valve so that some of the intake gas is supplied into the intake line through the intake bypass line.

An engine system may include an engine including first and second cylinder banks; a throttle valve; a first exhaust manifold gathering exhaust gas exhausted from the first cylinder bank to be supplied to the first exhaust line; a second exhaust manifold gathering exhaust gas exhausted from the second cylinder bank to be supplied to the second exhaust line; a turbocharger including a turbine rotated by the exhaust gas exhausted through the first exhaust manifold and a compressor rotated in connection with the turbine; a cylinder deactivation (CDA) device selectively deactivating the cylinders of the first cylinder bank; and a supercharger including a motor and an electric compressor operated by the motor.

An air-bypass valve control device is disposed in an engine. The engine includes an intake passage, a compressor, a throttle valve, an air-bypass passage and the air-bypass valve. The air-bypass valve control device includes an intake air amount detector, a controller. The intake air amount detector detects an intake air amount of the engine. The controller configured to temporarily bring the air-bypass valve into an opened state in the case where the intake air amount of the engine immediately before a decrease in an opening degree of the throttle valve is equal to or larger than a predetermined value when the opening degree of the throttle valve decreases at a predetermined speed or higher.

A partial forced induction system is provided that has one or more combustion engine cylinders with each engine cylinder having a first and a second intake valve with individual ports. A source of forced induction in fluid communication with the one or more combustion engine cylinders and urging air into the one or more combustion engine cylinders. A naturally aspirated intake manifold path connecting to each of the first intake valves at each of said one or more engine cylinders. A forced induction intake manifold path connects the source of forced induction to each of said second intake valves at each of the one or more engine cylinders.

An inlet fluid booster system for an internal combustion engine having engine cylinders includes a compressed fluid supply source that is in upstream fluid communication with the engine cylinders. A fluid booster is in downstream fluid communication with the compressed fluid supply source for selectively introducing compressed auxiliary fluid from the compressed fluid supply source. The auxiliary fluid is selectively introduced from the fluid booster to have a velocity vector towards the engine cylinders that is greater than a velocity vector away from the engine cylinders.
