Abstract:
An internal combustion engine includes a block having a plurality of cylinders. An intake manifold is fluidly connected to the block for supplying charge air to the cylinders. An exhaust manifold is fluidly connected to the plurality of cylinders for conducting exhaust gas away from the cylinders. A turbocharger including a turbine having an exhaust gas inlet is fluidly connected with the exhaust manifold. The turbocharger also includes a compressor having a compressor air inlet and air outlet. The compressor air outlet is fluidly connected to the intake manifold to pressurize the charge air during high power levels of engine operation. An EGR bypass is fluidly connected between the turbine exhaust gas inlet and the intake manifold to recirculate a portion of the exhaust gases to the cylinders. An intake air bypass is fluidly connected between the compressor air outlet and the compressor air inlet. The intake air bypass is adapted to recirculate a portion of compressor outlet air back to the compressor air inlet to reduce compressor outlet pressure and aid EGR flow through the EGR bypass to the cylinders during high power operation of the engine.
