  • Publication number: 20230265802
    Abstract: The disclosure concerns a method for vibration reduction in a compression ignition four- stroke internal combustion engine. The internal combustion engine comprises exhaust and intake valves controlled by exhaust and intake camshafts. The method comprises, when operating the internal combustion engine below a threshold rotational speed, steps of: changing a timing of the exhaust camshaft to advance closing of the exhaust valve, and - changing a timing of the intake camshaft to delay opening of the intake valve.

  • Patent number: 11686259
    Abstract: The disclosure concerns an internal combustion engine comprising an exhaust camshaft, an intake camshaft, a turbocharger, and a control system. The turbocharger comprises a compressor. A timing of the exhaust camshaft and a timing of the intake camshaft are controllable by the control system, which is configured to: store a compressor map related to the compressor, store a reference area within the compressor map, and determine at least two parameters. In response to the at least two parameters indicating that a current operational point of the compressor is outside the reference area, the control system changes the timing of the exhaust camshaft to advance closing of the exhaust valve, and the timing of the intake camshaft to delay opening of the intake valve.

  • Patent number: 10738679
    Abstract: The present invention relates to use of a lubrication oil that forms water-soluble ash when combusted in an engine system, where the engine system comprises an internal combustion engine; an exhaust gas system comprising a diesel particulate filter to capture particulate matter from the exhaust gases, including the water-soluble ash; and an exhaust gas conduit to lead exhaust gases from the internal combustion engine to the exhaust gas system, and to collect condensed water formed by a cold start and/or a cold operation of the internal combustion engine and lead the condensed water through the diesel particulate filter, thereby dissolving and removing the water-soluble ash from the diesel particulate filter.

  • Publication number: 20190048769
    Abstract: An engine system is provided that uses lubrication oil that forms water-soluble ash when combusted. The engine system comprises an internal combustion engine lubricated by the lubrication oil; an exhaust gas system for cleaning exhaust gases from the internal combustion engine, the exhaust gas system comprising a diesel particulate filter to capture particulate matter from the exhaust gases, wherein the particulate matter comprises the water-soluble ash; an exhaust gas conduit to lead exhaust gases from the internal combustion engine to the exhaust gas system; and condensation means to accumulate condensed water and/or to form an increased amount of condensed water and arranged in fluid connection with the exhaust gas flow upstream of the diesel particulate filter. The exhaust gas conduit is arranged to collect condensed water and lead the condensed water through the diesel particulate filter, thereby dissolving and thus removing the water-soluble ash from the diesel particulate filter.

  • Patent number: 8904788
    Abstract: An arrangement for injecting a reducing agent into an exhaust line of a combustion engine (1). An exhaust line (3) leads exhaust gases from the engine. A first turbine (4) is in the exhaust line (3). A second turbine (20) in the exhaust line is downstream of the first turbine (4) in the intended direction of flow in the exhaust line. An injector (19) injects reducing agent into the exhaust line (3) so that it is warmed and vaporized by the warm exhaust gases in the exhaust line (3), and an SCR catalyst (29). The injector (19) is in the exhaust line downstream of the first turbine (4) and upstream of the second turbine (20).

  • Patent number: 8562925
    Abstract: An arrangement for controlling injection of a reducing agent in an exhaust line of a combustion engine (1): An injection system (8-12) injects the reducing agent into the exhaust line (3). A first catalyst (13) reduces the amount of nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gases in the exhaust line (3) using the reducing agent. A second catalyst (14) downstream of the first catalyst (13) in the exhaust line (3) converts ammonia in the exhaust gases to nitrogen gas and nitrous oxide. A nitrous oxide sensor (17) monitors the amount of nitrous oxide in the exhaust line (3) downstream of the second catalyst (14). A control unit (10) of the injection system (8-12) adjusts the amount (q) of reducing agent injected into the exhaust line (3) if the sensor (17) detects that the amount of nitrous oxide is not within a selected range (A).

  • Patent number: 7716929
    Abstract: An arrangement for recirculation of exhaust gases in a supercharged combustion engine. The arrangement includes an exhaust line operable to lead exhaust gases out from the combustion engine, an inlet line operable to lead air at above atmospheric pressure to the combustion engine, a return line which comprises a connection to the exhaust line and a connection to the inlet line, so that via the return line it is possible to recirculate exhaust gases from the exhaust line to the inlet line. A first cooler incorporated in the return line for cooling the exhaust gases in the return line before they are mixed with the air in the inlet line. The exhaust gases in the first cooler are cooled by a first medium which is at a temperature substantially corresponding to the temperature of the surroundings.
