A system in one embodiment includes at least one cylinder, a supplemental boost supply, and a supply line. The at least one cylinder is configured for use in a reciprocating internal combustion engine, and includes a combustion portion and a crank portion on opposite sides of a piston. The at least one cylinder also includes an intake port and an exhaust port in fluid communication with the combustion portion. The supplemental boost supply is configured to provide a supplemental air supply to the combustion portion of the engine when the engine is idling to increase pressure in the combustion portion. The supply line couples the supplemental boost supply to the intake port.

An actuator for a separator for separating contaminants from a fluid stream which includes entrained contaminants. The actuator is arranged to move along an actuator axis to adjust an open cross-sectional area of at least one aperture of the separator, and comprises a flexible diaphragm, and a support assembly for the flexible diaphragm. The support assembly is movable along the actuator axis carrying the flexible diaphragm and has an upper support member mounted on a lower support member. A portion of the flexible diaphragm is located between the upper and lower support members. The lower support member comprises an axially extending support portion coupled to a radially extending support portion. The upper support member comprises a diaphragm anti-inversion feature coupled to a radially extending support portion. The diaphragm anti-inversion feature extends such that it axially overlaps at least part of the axially extending support portion of the lower support member.

An internal combustion engine has a control device, an EGR valve that adjusts an EGR rate, a PCV valve that adjusts an opening degree of a first PCV passage that communicates an inside of a crankcase and a downstream side of a throttle valve. The control device operates the throttle valve in a closing direction in response to a deceleration request. The control device adjusts an opening degree of the PCV valve based on an immediately preceding EGR rate immediately before reception of the deceleration request.

This blow-by gas system is provided with: a blow-by gas flow path through which a blow-by gas discharged from an internal combustion engine passes; and an oil separator disposed midway along the blow-by gas flow path. A downstream end of the blow-by gas flow path connects to at least one of a predetermined portion of an intake passageway and a midway portion of an air introduction passageway. The predetermined portion is a portion at which at least some of the blow-by gas that has flowed into the intake passageway flows into the air introduction passageway together with an intake air in the intake passageway.

Systems are provided for a crankcase ventilation system. In one example, a crankcase ventilation (CCV) system for an engine configured to transmit crankcase gases into a clean side air duct, the clean side air duct comprising a sensor and a crankcase ventilation spigot, wherein the crankcase ventilation spigot is configured to be disposed downstream of the sensor, the crankcase ventilation spigot having an outlet configured to direct crankcase gases emerging from the crankcase ventilation spigot away from the sensor.
