Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for a multi-hole nozzle of a fuel injector. In one example, a nozzle for a fuel injector may include multiple nozzle holes arranged at a nozzle tip, where each nozzle hole has a straight flow axis and a cross-section that twists around the straight flow axis, from an inlet to an outlet of the nozzle hole. Additionally, a long side of the cross-section may increase in length, along the nozzle hole, from the inlet to the outlet.

Abstract: Systems and methods for opening and closing exhaust poppet valves of an engine are disclosed. In one example, the exhaust poppet valves may be opened and closed twice during a cycle of an engine via two serially arranged cam lobes that are coupled to a crankshaft so that hydrocarbons may be retained in a cylinder.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for a urea mixer. In one example, a urea mixer may include a plurality of outlets located adjacent a throat of a venturi passage.

Abstract: A fuel delivery system and a direct injector for directly injecting fuel into a cylinder are provided. In one example, a direct fuel injector includes a nozzle in fluidic communication with a fuel source, the nozzle includes a first set of orifices, each of the orifices in the first set arranged at a first orifice angle on an intake side of the nozzle. The direct fuel injector further includes a second set of orifices, each of the orifices in the second set arranged at a second orifice angle greater than the first orifice angle on an exhaust side of the nozzle.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for a noise mitigating device for a turbocharger compressor. In one example, the noise mitigating device includes a set of perforated rings arranged in a recirculation passage of a compressor casing treatment. The rings of the set of perforated rings may be oriented so that apertures of one ring are offset from apertures of one or more adjacent rings, forcing air to flow through the apertures via a non-linear path while deflecting at least a portion of sounds waves generated in the compressor.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for a fuel injector for an engine. In one example, the injector may be adapted with a plurality of nozzles configured to enhance atomization of fuel. The plurality of nozzles may have geometries that increase turbulence and rotation of fuel flow therethrough. In some examples, the injector may also include a multi-stage counterbore that reduces a likelihood of coking at the injector.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for a compressor coolant chamber. In one example, a system comprising dividing the coolant chamber into two portions, a first portion adapted to couple to a second portion and shape a coolant chamber therebetween.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for an injector. In one example, the injector comprises at least two passages, wherein outlets of each of the passages are differently shaped than corresponding inlets of the passages. Further, in one or more examples, each of the outlets may be shaped and sized differently with respect to each other.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for a compressor having a variable inlet device and an active casing treatment. In one arrangement, a system for a compressor may include a casing forming a recirculation passage surrounding an inlet passage, an active casing treatment surrounding the inlet passage and configured to selectively control gas flow through the recirculation passage, an impeller, and a variable inlet device positioned in the inlet passage upstream of the impeller and configured to selectively reduce an effective size of the impeller. The variable inlet device and the active casing treatment may be adjusted based on operating conditions in order to increase a flow range of the compressor while providing high compressor efficiency.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for a fuel injector. In one example, a system comprises an injector spool valve having a fuel outlet shaped to flow fuel to different portions of a nozzle inlet based on an actuation of the injector spool valve, thereby adjusting a fuel injection angle of a fuel injection.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for using compression heating to heat a cylinder piston before cylinder combustion is resumed. Cylinder heating is achieved using combinations of slow unfueled engine rotation where the engine cylinders are heated via compression stroke heating, and slow compressor rotation where the cylinders are heated via compression heating. One or more intake or exhaust heaters may be concurrently operated to expedite cylinder heating.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for a compressor coolant chamber. In one example, a system comprising dividing the coolant chamber into two portions, a first portion adapted to couple to a second portion and shape a coolant chamber therebetween.

Abstract: Systems are provided for cooling combustion chamber gasses and increasing an amount of air entrained in an injected fuel spray. In one example, a cooling passage may be included in an internal combustion engine, the cooling passage positioned exterior to a cylinder bore of the engine and coupled to the cylinder bore at a first opening and a second opening. The cooling passage may receive gasses from the cylinder bore via the first opening, and may cool the gasses as they travel through the cooling passage before returning the gasses to the cylinder bore via the second opening.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for cooling a compressor in an engine. In one example, a compressor with a liquid coolant passage extending through a section of a housing of the compressor adjacent to a bypass passage, is provide. The bypass passage enable airflow to be directed around a portion of a compressor impeller.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for generating vacuum via a throttle. In one example, a method may comprise rotating the throttle to a first fully closed position to provide vacuum to a first vacuum consumption device and rotating the throttle to a second fully closed position to provide vacuum to a second vacuum consumption device. The method may further include rotating the throttle to a partially closed position to provide vacuum to both the first and second vacuum consumption devices.
