The invention relates to an engine braking device for a combustion engine in motor vehicles, which has an intake system, an exhaust system, gas exchange valves associated with the combustion engine, an exhaust turbocharger integrated into the exhaust system and the intake system, and an engine braking unit, wherein the engine braking unit has a decompression brake, which influences at least one outlet valve of the gas exchange valves, and a brake flap, which is arranged in the exhaust system and causes the exhaust gas to build up. The brake flap is arranged upstream of and outside, preferably directly upstream of and outside, a turbine housing of an exhaust turbine of the exhaust turbocharger and is designed as a flow guiding flap which influences the admission of a gas flow to the exhaust turbine. The invention also relates to a method for operating an engine braking device.

Engine braking device for a combustion engine and method for operating an engine braking device

The invention relates to a method for controlling an engine braking device for a combustion engine in motor vehicles, wherein the engine braking device has an intake system, an exhaust system, gas exchange valves associated with the combustion engine, exhaust turbo-charging by at least one exhaust turbocharger integrated into the exhaust system and the intake system, and an engine braking unit, wherein the engine braking unit has a decompression brake, which influences at least one outlet valve of the gas exchange valves and is dependent on the exhaust gas backpressure, and a brake flap, which is arranged in the exhaust system. To achieve a precisely controllable engine braking power in the engine braking mode, the demanded braking torque is controlled in accordance with the boost pressure of the exhaust turbocharger and with the exhaust gas backpressure upstream of the brake flap, which is arranged directly upstream of an exhaust turbine of the exhaust turbocharger. A suitable engine braking device is furthermore proposed.

Method for controlling an engine braking device and engine braking device

A device for delivering compressed air for pneumatically operated equipment in motor vehicles, in particular of brake systems in commercial vehicles, whereby compressed air can be tapped via a controllable valve from the combustion chamber of at least one cylinder of an internal combustion engine, includes a valve arranged outside the combustion chamber and connected to the combustion chamber, in particular via a connecting passage which opens into the combustion chamber.

Device for delivering compressed air for pneumatically operated equipment in motor vehicles

A method and a system for cooling an internal combustion engine having charge air feed, which has a first and a second cooling loop, of which the first cooling loop is operated at a higher temperature level than the second cooling loop, and in which the charge air feed has at least one intercooling unit which is thermally coupled to the second cooling loop, having a controllable coolant throughput. The system includes at least one shutdown element in the second cooling loop for throttling the coolant throughput in the second cooling loop to 0 (zero). Coolant throughput may be shut down during the operation of the internal combustion engine as a function of an operating parameter of a vehicle component.
