Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a combustion engine system and a method of operation thereof. The combustion engine system includes a pollutant conversion system and an exhaust gas turbocharger that includes a variable turbine geometry and a waste gate valve. The variable turbine geometry includes adjustable guide elements surrounding the turbine wheel in a circumferential direction and are arranged to define an overall cross-section in their respective position for the exhaust gas. In a control mode where the pollutant conversion system comprises a temperature above a threshold temperature, the guide elements are adjusted such that the overall cross-section is between a control minimum value and a control maximum value. In a heat-up mode at temperatures of the pollutant conversion system below the threshold temperature, the guide elements are moved to a heat-up position where the overall cross-section is smaller than the control minimum value.

The compressor may also have a housing body accommodating the linear actuator and integrally formed on the compressor housing, and a closure cover of the compressor housing closing the housing body and the compressor housing in an airtight manner against an external environment. A movement of the linear actuator directed tangentially to the flow arrangement may bring the flow arrangement into at least of at least one closed position and at least one open position to enable the cross-section of the charge air passage to be adapted.
