Systems and methods for equalizing backpressure in engine cylinders
An intake manifold is provided. A first inlet is structured to receive pressurized intake air from a turbocharger. A second inlet is structured to receive exhaust gas recirculation gas from an exhaust gas recirculation system. A third inlet is structured to receive fuel from a fuel line. A plurality of outlets are structured to be fluidly coupled to an engine. An intake manifold passage extends between each of the first, second, and third inlets, and the plurality of outlets. The intake manifold passage is shaped so as to cause at least two reversals in flow direction of each of the intake air, the exhaust gas recirculation gas, and the fuel through the intake manifold passage so as to improve mixing of each of the intake air, the exhaust gas recirculation gas, and the fuel.
Intake manifold and runner structure thereof
An intake manifold is provided and includes a runner that is connected between a plenum and a cylinder head to allow air introduced into the plenum to enter the cylinder head. A dent is formed at the runner such that the dent extends along a channel of the runner while having an inner surface with a protruding shape. The runner has, at an end thereof, an inner surface formed to be flat without being formed with the dent. The inner surface of the runner is connected to the cylinder head.
Systems and methods for equalizing backpressure in engine cylinders
An exhaust manifold comprises a plurality of exhaust intake conduits structured to be fluidly coupled to an engine and receive exhaust gas from a corresponding cylinder of the engine. At least one exhaust intake conduit provides a reduction in an exhaust intake conduit cross-sectional area from an inlet to an outlet. A plurality of bends are each defined by a respective one of the exhaust intake conduit outlets. An exhaust intake manifold is fluidly coupled to the exhaust intake manifold and defines an exhaust intake manifold flow axis. Each of the plurality of bends is shaped so as to define n angle of approach of exhaust gas flowing therethrough. A first angle of approach of the first bend relative to the exhaust intake manifold flow axis is smaller than a second angle of approach of an inner second bend.

Intake device for internal combustion engine
An intake device for an internal combustion engine configures a flow passage for intake air that is drawn into combustion chambers. The intake device includes an intake manifold configuring multiple runners that respectively distribute intake air to multiple cylinders, a surge tank including a cavity that is connected to the runners and defines a convergence portion, a throttle body incorporating a throttle valve, and a connection pipe connecting the surge tank and the throttle body and configuring a curved flow passage extending between the throttle body and the surge tank. The connection pipe includes a partition plate that divides the curved flow passage into a circumferentially inner flow passage and a circumferentially outer flow passage.
Accumulator device
An engine includes an intake, an air-fuel path coupled to the intake, an accumulator configured coupled to the air-fuel path and configured to store an air-fuel mixture, and at least one valve configured to selectively provide the air-fuel mixture from the engine to the accumulator at a first time and store the air-fuel mixture within the accumulator at a second time. A controller may be configured to provide commands to the at least one valve. The plurality of commands may include an open command to release air and fuel mixture from the accumulator and a close command to store air and fuel mixture in the accumulator.
INTAKE MANIFOLD AND RUNNER STRUCTURE THEREOF
An intake manifold is provided and includes a runner that is connected between a plenum and a cylinder head to allow air introduced into the plenum to enter the cylinder head. A dent is formed at the runner such that the dent extends along a channel of the runner while having an inner surface with a protruding shape. The runner has, at an end thereof, an inner surface formed to be flat without being formed with the dent. The inner surface of the runner is connected to the cylinder head.
