  • Method and system for compressed air supply
    Patent number: 11773793
    Abstract: Methods and systems to provide compressed air to one or more air consumers external to the engine via exhaust gases of an internal combustion engine are presented. In one example, the exhaust gas may be routed to drive an air turbine of an air compression system. The air compressed at the compression system may be stored in a tank and/or provided to the one or more air consumers.
    Type: Grant

  • Method and system for an on board compressor
    Patent number: 11725572
    Abstract: Methods and systems to provide compressed air via exhaust gases of an internal combustion engine are presented. In one example, a pump comprising two pistons is driven via engine exhaust gases. On piston within the pump moves in response to the exhaust gases while the other piston acts to compress air.
