  • Patent number: 8453626
    Abstract: An arrangement for mixing a first and a second gas flow, for example, an inlet flow with an exhaust gas return flow in a diesel engine. An air conduit has an inlet for the first flow and an inlet for the second flow, in order to achieve the mixing. A valve body is arranged to be displaced in the longitudinal direction of the air conduit at the inlet for the second flow in order to achieve a variable venturi effect and in this way a variable suction effect and mixture of the mixed flow. One or more fuel injectors inject fuel into the air conduit to pre-mix fuel with the first and second gas flows before reaching the engine cylinders for combustion.

  • Patent number: 6886545
    Abstract: A control system for controlling an exhaust gas recirculation system having a control valve is provided. The control system includes at least one flow sensor sensing a flow rate of at least one of a recirculating exhaust gas, an inlet air and a combined result thereof, and generating a sensor signal indicative of the sensed flow rate. A processor in communication with the at least one flow sensor receives the sensor signal indicative of the sensed flow rate and generates a control signal based at least in part upon the received sensor signal. The control valve of the exhaust gas recirculation system is adapted to be in communication with the processor and to receive the control signal therefrom, and is adapted to actuate based at least in part upon the control signal.
