An internal combustion engine has first and second combustion chambers, first and second exhaust gas line elements, and an exhaust gas turbocharger which has a first flood, a second flood, and a third flood. A bypass device has a bypass line that can be flowed through by exhaust gas from the first and second exhaust gas line elements and via the bypass line a turbine wheel is bypassed by a first part of the exhaust gas from the first and second exhaust gas line elements. A valve device includes a first valve element, via which an amount of the exhaust gas flowing through the bypass line and bypassing the turbine wheel from the first and second exhaust gas line elements is settable. A third exhaust gas line element opens out into the third flood.

In a turbine for an exhaust gas turbocharger having a turbine housing with a turbine rotor rotatable supported therein and including spiral channels for directing exhaust gas onto the turbine wheel, at least one annular blocking element is supported between the spiral channels and the turbine wheel so as to be rotatable in the peripheral direction of the turbine wheel and additionally movable in the axial direction of the turbine wheel for a controlling the exhaust gas flow to the turbine wheel between impulse turbine mode when extended into the space between the turbine wheel and the spiral chamber and an accumulation made when retracted, with the gas flow through the turbine wheel or by-passing the turbine wheel being adjustable by rotation of the blocking element.

Turbine for an exhaust gas turbocharger and exhaust gas turbocharger having such a turbine

In an exhaust gas turbocharger for an internal combustion engine including an exhaust gas turbine in the exhaust line and a compressor in the intake tract of the internal combustion engine, and the exhaust gas turbine includes a gas inlet passage with a variable guide vane structure supported on one side of a support ring arranged in the inlet flow passage to the turbine wheel, the support ring is mounted in a floating manner such that the side thereof, which faces away form the guide vanes is exposed to the gas pressure in the inlet flow passage in order to bias the support ring toward the opposite inlet flow passage wall and spacer sleeves with expansion properties similar to those of the guide vanes are provided between the support ring and the opposite flow passage wall for delimiting the clearance between the guide vanes and the opposite flow passage wall.

Exhaust gas turbocharger for an internal combustion engine

In a method for operating a self ignition internal combustion engine in which fuel is injected directly into a combustion chamber by means of an injection nozzle, such that a portion of the fuel is injected into the combustion chamber as a pre-injection amount forming a homogenous pre-mixture providing for a combustion phase comprising a low temperature phase and a high temperature phase and the main fuel amount is injected into the combustion chamber during the high temperature phase of the pre-injection fuel combustion such that the ignition of the main injection amount takes place after the start and before the end of the high temperature phase.

Method for operating an internal combustion engine

A turbocharger device for an internal combustion engine including two exhaust gas turbochargers, wherein a regulating device for adjustment of the supply of exhaust gas to one of the turbines or to both turbines is provided in the flow stream of the exhaust gas. A common exhaust gas inflow channel for both turbines is preferably provided on the turbine housing of one of the exhaust gas turbochargers, with two exhaust channel segments for supplying exhaust gas to the respective turbines branching off from the exhaust gas inflow channel. The regulating device is provided where the exhaust gas channel segments branch from the exhaust gas inflow channel on the turbine housing.

Turbocharger device for an internal combustion engine

A method for controlling a supercharging device for an internal combustion engine includes controlling a variable (x) using different control characteristics in each of at least four sub-ranges defined by a gradient (dx/dt) of the variable to be controlled (x) and a difference (x) between the variable to be controlled (x) and a control variable (x ). An apparatus for controlling a supercharging device for an internal combustion engine includes a controller having a range of control that includes at least four sub-ranges devided in accordance with a gradient (dx/dt) of the variable to be controlled (x) and a difference (x) between the variable to be controlled (x) and a control variable (x ).

Method and apparatus for controlling a supply system for a combustion engine

An internal combustion engine has a plurality of cylinders which are arranged in two rows, two exhaust-gas turbochargers which are driven in each case by the exhaust gases from the cylinders of a cylinder row, and exhaust-gas recirculation. Two exhaust-gas discharge lines branch off, upstream of the respective exhaust-gas turbocharger, part of the exhaust gases from the cylinders of a cylinder row to be recirculated and supply this part to a common recirculation line. By way of the common recirculation line, the exhaust gases to be recirculated are supplied, downstream of the exhaust-gas turbochargers, to an air supply. At least one valve, which serves as an exhaust-gas recirculation valve and by which the quantity of recirculated exhaust gases can be set, is provided. The valve has a stop by which a communicating connection made between the two exhaust-gas discharge lines can be shut off.

Bi-turbocharger internal combustion engine with exhaust gas recycling

A system for automatic charging pressure control using an exhaust gas turbocharger with a variably adjustable turbine cross-section and for automatic exhaust gas recirculation control in the case of an internal-combustion engine, particularly a diesel engine. An automatic control system has a first controller which has an output for the variation of the turbine cross-section of the exhaust gas turbocharger. The command variable for the automatic exhaust gas recirculation control in a first low load-rotational speed range is the air flow rate in the intake pipe. The command variable for the automatic charging pressure control in a second higher load-rotational speed range is the charging pressure in the intake pipe. For the automatic exhaust gas recirculation control, an exhaust gas recirculation pipe connects the exhaust gas pipe with the suction pipe. In the case of this system, for achieving the lowest possible pollutant emission while simultaneously minimizing fuel consumption, exhaust gas recirculation rates which are as precise as possible are defined in the lower load-rotational speed range, and a charging pressure which is as precise as possible is defined in the upper load-rotational speed range via a corresponding automatic control.

In a venting arrangement for a crankcase of an internal combustion engine including a centrifugal separator having a rotatable housing with an inlet channel for the admission of an oil-air mixture and an exit channel for the discharge of air from which the oil has been removed, the inlet channel extends essentially in a direction parallel to the axis of rotation of the housing, but in spaced relationship from the axis so that oil which has been separated from the oil-air mixture moves, subjected to centrifugal forces, radially outwardly at a 90.degree. angle to the generally axial oil-air mixture flow through the separator.
