A cooling system for a vehicle may include a cooling water temperature sensor, a cooling circulation fluid passage including first, second and third fluid passages, wherein the cooling water exhausted from the engine may be branched into the first fluid passage provided with a heater core, the second fluid passage provided with a radiator, and the third fluid passage provided with an exhaust heat recovery apparatus, a fluid flow adjusting valve provided on a point at which the cooling water passing through the cooling water temperature sensor may be branched into the first fluid passage to the third fluid passage to adjust a flow of the cooling water, and a controlling part controlling the first fluid passage to the third fluid passage to be selectively opened or closed by operating the fluid flow adjusting valve depending on the temperature of the cooling water, in a heating mode and a non-heating mode.

An exhaust system for a combustion engine includes first and second catalytic converters arranged downstream of the combustion engine in a flow direction of exhaust gas. First and second exhaust pipes extend from the combustion engine to the first and second catalytic converters, respectively, with a first valve disposed in the first exhaust pipe, and a second valve disposed in the second exhaust pipe. The first and second valves operate such that in the presence of an exhaust temperature which is equal to or less than a limit value, at least the first valve opens to allow exhaust gas from the combustion engine to flow through the first catalytic converter, and that the first valve closes and the second valve opens, when the exhaust temperature is greater than the limit value to thereby allow exhaust gas from the combustion engine to flow through the second catalytic converter.

A system and method for preventing a failure of an exhaust heat recovery device are provided. The method includes operating a sole exhaust heat recovery mode when cooling water has a temperature less than a warm-up reference temperature to introduce all exhaust gas flowing from a DPF into the exhaust heat recovery device where the exhaust gas exchanges heat with the cooling water. Additionally, a passage through which the exhaust gas bypasses the exhaust heat recovery device is opened when the exhaust gas at a rear of the DPF has a temperature greater than the warm-up reference temperature during the sole exhaust heat recovery mode.

An exhaust heat recovery apparatus includes: a housing having a first exhaust passage and a second exhaust passage, an exhaust inlet fitting, and an exhaust outlet fitting; a heat exchanger disposed in the first exhaust passage; and a switching valve having a slide gate which is movable in a longitudinal direction of the housing so as to allow a flow of exhaust gases to be switched between the first exhaust passage and the second exhaust passage, wherein the first exhaust passage is parallel to the second exhaust passage, and the slide gate is movable between the first exhaust passage and the second exhaust passage.

The exhaust gas after-treatment system of an engine configured as a gas engine or as a dual-fuel engine includes a catalyst, that can be flowed through by exhaust gas, a control tube extending through a recess in the catalyst, which control tube is movable relative to the catalyst and is flowable through by exhaust gas, and an actuator which is equipped to move the control tube relative to the catalyst dependent on at least one operating condition of the engine and/or at least one operating condition of the exhaust gas after-treatment system such that in a first relative position of the control tube relative to the catalyst, the catalyst can be flowed through by exhaust gas but not the control tube, and in a second relative position of the control tube relative to the catalyst, the control tube can be flowed through by the exhaust gas but not the catalyst.

The invention relates to, inter alia, a device for supplying a hydrogen internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle with hydrogen. The device has a storage tank for a fluid containing a carrier agent enriched with hydrogen. The device has a first heat exchanger for heating the fluid by transferring heat from a coolant of the hydrogen internal combustion engine and a second heat exchanger for additionally heating the fluid by transferring heat from an exhaust flow of the hydrogen internal combustion engine. The device provides a highly energy-efficient system that makes appropriate use of the thermal energy in the exhaust and the thermal energy in the coolant.

A post-treatment system includes two SCRs, a second SCR is connected to a booster in parallel, and a three-way valve is arranged before the second SCR and the booster, such that whether an exhaust gas flows through the second SCR or the booster is controlled by means of controlling the three-way valve. In the case of a low temperature, the three-way valve is controlled to close a branch of the booster, such that the exhaust gas flows through the second SCR and a first SCR that are connected in series, thereby reducing the energy loss caused by the exhaust gas flowing through the booster, and improving the NO.sub.x conversion efficiency in the case of a low temperature. In a case of a high temperature, the three-way valve is controlled to close a by-pass line, such that the exhaust gas flows through the booster and the first SCR.

The disclosure relates to a gasoline engine comprising an exhaust gas line which can be connected to an exhaust manifold of the gasoline engine, an intake line which can be connected to an intake manifold of the gasoline engine, a charge air compressor which is arranged in the intake line, and a turbine which is arranged in the exhaust gas line. The exhaust gas line has at least one bypass line with a bypass throttle valve, said line branching off from the exhaust gas line at a branch upstream of the turbine and branching back into the exhaust gas line at an opening downstream of the turbine. At least one exhaust gas recirculation line with an EGR throttle valve is provided, said line branching off from the exhaust gas line at a branch and opening into the intake line at an opening, wherein a coupling line with a first node point and a second node point is provided, the bypass line and the EGR line being combined in some sections in said coupling line; at least one particle filter is arranged in the coupling line; and the first node point is arranged downstream of the branch and downstream of the branch.
