The invention relates to an internal combustion engine that comprises a first Brayton cycle comprising a mixed ionic-electronic conducting (MIEC) membrane that separates the Ofrom the air such that the suctioned air current is free from N; a second Brayton cycle combined in a binary manner with the first Brayton cycle and nested with a cycle selected from an Otto cycle and a diesel cycle performed by means of oxy-combustion. The second Brayton cycle transmits mechanical energy and thermal energy from exhaust gases to the first Brayton cycle. The first Brayton cycle provides to the second Brayton cycle compressed Ofrom the MIEC membrane. By means of the present engine, the NOx emission into the atmosphere is prevented by the separation of Nin the MIEC membrane.

Internal combustion engine and operating method of same

A compressor housing includes a compressor inlet duct and an inlet for a compressor wheel. The compressor inlet duct has a longitudinal axis and connects an air intake duct with the compressor wheel inlet. The compressor housing includes at least one appendix positioned between an upstream portion of the compressor inlet duct and the compressor wheel inlet. The appendix includes a pipe closed in a distal part thereof with respect to the longitudinal axis of the compressor inlet duct.

Compressor housing

An EGR valve assembly includes an intake gas passage, an exhaust gas passage, an outlet passage, a movable intake gas flap for changing an effective cross section of the intake gas passage and a movable exhaust gas flap for changing an effective cross section of the exhaust gas passage. The intake gas flap includes at least one channel connecting an inlet port on a upstream-side surface of the flap with an outlet port on a downstream-side surface of the flap.
