Abstract
An engine system includes an engine including intake and exhaust camshafts, a transmission, a turbocharger including a compressor and a turbine, a surge valve to selectively bypass the compressor, a main exhaust aftertreatment system with a main catalytic converter, and a light-off catalyst bypass system with a bypass valve configured to selectively provide exhaust gas to a bypass passage and a bypass catalytic converter. An emissions control system includes a controller configured to monitor a temperature of the main catalytic converter to determine if the temperature is below a light-off temperature, move the bypass valve to an open position to provide exhaust gas flow through the bypass passage and bypass catalytic converter when the main catalytic converter is below the predetermined light-off temperature, and move the surge valve to an open position to enable intake air to bypass the compressor to minimize pressure loss during a cold catalyst mode.
