Abstract:
Various methods and systems are provided for cooling exhaust system components. In one example, a system comprises heat shield surrounding at least a part of an engine exhaust passage valve positioned in an engine exhaust passage of an engine, and an air jet configured to direct compressed air into the heat shield. The heat shield contains the compressed air around an exterior of the at least the part of the engine exhaust passage valve.
Abstract:
Various methods and systems are provided for diagnosing the position and function of a valve in an engine system. In one embodiment, a method for an engine comprises determining a position of a valve in an engine system based on a turbine speed response upon commanded actuation of the valve.

Abstract:
Various methods and systems are provided for detecting particles generated from engine component degradation within an engine system. In one embodiment, a method for an engine comprises indicating engine degradation in response to a buildup of particles in a magnetic field, the magnetic field positioned in a flow of gas.

Abstract:
Various methods and systems are provided for diagnosing a condition of a component in an exhaust gas recirculation system. In one example, a method includes selectively routing exhaust from a first subset of engine cylinders to an exhaust passage via a first valve and to an intake passage via a second valve and determining a respective condition of each of the first valve and second valve based on a first exhaust pressure of the first subset of engine cylinders and a second exhaust pressure of a second subset of engine cylinders.
