A manufacturing installation for the additive manufacturing of components, each provided with at least one material overhang, has at least one building platform on which the particular component can at least partially be additively manufactured. In order to reduce the material consumption and the time to produce additively manufactured components, the manufacturing installation has at least one preferably electrically controllable support device with at least one movable support arm for the at least temporary holding of at least one support element, arranged on the support arm, during the additive manufacture of the particular component above the building platform.

Manufacturing installation and method for the additive manufacturing of components with a material overhang

Methods and systems are provided for a resonator of an exhaust system. In one example, the resonator is a quarter wave resonator with a diaphragm configured to provide pulsations during low-end engine torque conditions.

Exhaust-gas aftertreatment arrangement

Methods and systems are provided for a heating device. In one example, a system comprises a heat exchanger and an air filter arranged in a common housing, wherein the heat exchanger is configured to receive coolant from a heating device. In one example, the heating device is an electric heating device.

Methods and systems for a turbocharged engine

Methods and systems are provided for a comprex charger. In one embodiment, a comprex charger is integrally arranged with an electric machine and shares a cooling arrangement therewith.

Methods and systems for a comprex charger

Methods and systems for an engine intake system are provided. In one example, a system includes a first charge air cooler arranged upstream of a second charge air cooler. The first charge air cooler is configured to provide thermal transfer between a compressed charge air and a fresh intake air.

Methods and systems for an engine

Methods and systems are provided for an aftertreatment system. In one example, a method comprises regenerating a NOtrap during an engine shut-down event. The method further comprises reversing a direction of flow of a gas through a HP-EGR passage during the regenerating.

Methods and systems for an aftertreatment system

Methods and systems are provided for a condensation mitigation device. In one example, a system may include a vortex generator arranged in a flow channel of a compressor along with a condensate collection device configured to direct condensate away from compressor blades of the compressor.

Methods and systems for mitigating condensate formation

Methods and systems are provided for a cooling arrangement. In one example, the coolant arrangement comprises a heat store configured to store and release heat in response to a temperature of coolant flowing therethrough. The cooling arrangement further comprises an intake air heat exchanger for heating intake air prior to mixing with exhaust gas to decrease condensate formation, in one example.

Methods and systems for an engine with exhaust gas recirculation

Methods and systems are provided for a cooling arrangement of an engine. In one example, a method comprises flowing coolant from a high temperature coolant circuit or a low temperature coolant circuit to a fresh air heat exchanger in response to a condensate likelihood.

Methods and system for an engine system

Methods and systems are provided for a mixing chamber in a turbine. In one example, a system comprises a mixing chamber integrally formed within a turbine with an injector positioned to inject reductant directly into the mixing chamber.

Methods and systems for a mixing chamber

Methods and systems are provided for an exhaust gas system. In one example, a system comprises a conical passage fluidly coupling a turbine outlet to an aftertreatment device. The conical passage may further comprise a scavenge valve to adjust exhaust gas flow therethrough.

Methods and systems for an exhaust system

Methods and systems are provided for a comprex charger. In one example, a comprex charger is integrally arranged with an electric machine and shares a cooling arrangement therewith.

Methods and systems are provided for an exhaust-gas arrangement. In one example, a system may include a barrier dividing an intake passage into first and second portions to mitigate exhaust-gas recirculate mixing with charge air upstream of a compressor.

Methods and systems for exhaust-gas recirculation

Methods and systems are provided for a cooling arrangement. In one example, the cooling arrangement comprises flowing coolant to only an upper portion of a cylinder head during a cold-start. The cooling arrangement comprises flowing coolant to a cylinder block, a lower portion of the cylinder-head, and the upper portion of the cylinder head outside of the cold-start.

Methods and systems for a cooling arrangement

Methods and systems are provided for cooling an aftertreatment device with exhaust gas. In one example, an exhaust system comprises a recirculation passage branching from an EGR passage from downstream of an EGR cooler to a portion of an exhaust passage between the EGR passage and an aftertreatment device. In one example, the aftertreatment device is an SCR device.
