  • Patent number: 11846220
    Abstract: An engine that suppresses damage on a support mechanism of a diesel particulate filter (DPF) due to vibration in the pitch direction, in which the DPF, which purifies exhaust gas from an exhaust manifold, is disposed in an orientation orthogonal or approximately orthogonal to a rotational axis of a crankshaft in a plan view. A support mechanism is provided, which enables a cylinder head, an intake manifold, and an intake collector to support the DPF. The support mechanism includes a first support position in which the cylinder head supports the DPF, a second support position in which the intake manifold supports the DPF, and a third support position in which the intake collector supports the DPF. The third support position deviates from the first support position and the second support position in a direction of the rotational axis of the crankshaft.

  • Patent number: 11391254
    Abstract: An engine operable in a premixed combustion system and a diffusion combustion system. The engine includes a main fuel injection valve, a pilot fuel injection valve, a liquid fuel tank, a main fuel supply path, a pilot fuel supply path, a pilot fuel filter, a pilot fuel high-pressure pump, a pilot fuel tank, and a pilot fuel supply pump. The pilot fuel tank stores pilot fuel sent from the pilot fuel high-pressure pump and not injected by the pilot fuel injection valve. This pilot fuel is sent to an automatic backwash filter and a pilot fuel filter while not passing through the liquid fuel tank.
