  • Patent number: 9291127
    Abstract: An engine arrangement includes an engine, a charge air cooler connected to an engine inlet side of the engine, an air bypass for bypassing the charge air cooler, and including an EGR system connected between engine outlet side and an engine inlet side of the engine via one or more EGR lines. The air bypass enters the EGR system at an air-bypass port of an EGR line for mixing air with exhaust gas at the engine outlet side of the EGR system and/or upstream of an EGR cooler. An engine arrangement can also comprise an engine, a charge air cooler connected via an air line to an engine inlet side of the engine, an air bypass for bypassing the charge air cooler, and including an EGR system connected between an engine outlet side and an engine inlet side of the engine via one or more EGR lines. A control device is provided for controlling an engine inlet temperature of an air/exhaust gas mixture by controlling a ratio of cooled/uncooled air and/or cooled/uncooled exhaust gas in the air/exhaust gas mixture.

  • Patent number: 8065980
    Abstract: An engine cooling system is provided with a cooling circuit including a coolant pump for supplying an engine with a coolant and for circulating the coolant in the cooling circuit, and at least one heat exchanger for cooling said coolant downstream of the engine, wherein an expansion tank is connected to the cooling circuit upstream of the coolant pump. The cooling system is pressurized by a pressure regulating arrangement arranged to pressurize coolant supplied to the cooling circuit from the expansion tank during at least one predetermined operating mode of the engine and the expansion tank is closed to the ambient atmosphere during all normal engine operation modes.
