Abstract: A valve train for a reciprocating piston internal combustion engine may include a crankshaft, at least one inlet valve, at least one outlet valve, at least one camshaft coupled rotationally to the crankshaft, at least one inlet cam held on a first camshaft, at least one outlet cam held on one of the first camshaft or a second camshaft, at least one brake cam held on one of the first camshaft or the second camshaft, at least one inlet cam follower, which may actuate the at least one inlet valve and may be drive-connected at least at times to the inlet cam, at least one outlet cam follower, which may actuate the at least one outlet valve, may be drive-connected at least at times to the outlet cam, and, in a braking mode, may be drive-connected at least at times to the brake cam, and a phase shifting device for adjusting a phase position of the brake cam relative to the crankshaft.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine for a motor vehicle may include at least one cylinder including a combustion chamber for combustion of an air-fuel mixture introduced into the combustion chamber. The engine may also include a fresh air feed for supplying fresh air into the combustion chamber, and an exhaust gas removal system for removing exhaust gas from the combustion chamber. The engine may further include an exhaust gas recirculation system fluidically communicating with the fresh air feed and the exhaust gas removal system for at least partial recirculation of the removed exhaust gas. Additionally, the engine may include a fuel supply device arranged in the exhaust gas recirculation system for introducing a fuel into the exhaust gas guided through the exhaust gas recirculation system, and a fuel vaporizer arranged in the exhaust gas recirculation system configured to chemically convert hydrocarbons contained in the fuel introduced into the exhaust gas.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine for a motor vehicle may include at least one cylinder including a combustion chamber for combusting a fuel-air mixture introduced into the combustion chamber. The engine may also include at least one fuel injector and a fresh air feed. The engine may further include an exhaust gas discharge for discharging exhaust gas from the combustion chamber and an exhaust gas recirculation for recirculating the discharged exhaust gas into the combustion chamber. Additionally, the engine may include a heat exchanger arranged in the exhaust gas recirculation, the heat exchanger may include at least one first fluid path and at least one second fluid path. A knock number of the fuel may be increased when the fuel flows through the heat exchanger. The at least one second fluid path may fluidically communicate with the at least one fuel injector.

Abstract: An induction module with integrated exhaust gas recirculation may include a housing defining a housing interior and having a first housing wall with at least one air inlet for conducting fresh air into the housing interior and a second housing wall with at least one fluid outlet. A charge-air cooler may be arranged in the housing interior. A mixing chamber may define at least part of the housing interior and may be delimited by the charge-air cooler and the second housing wall. An exhaust line may be arranged in the mixing chamber having at least one exhaust gas outlet that may be in fluid communication with the mixing chamber. The charge-air cooler and the exhaust line may be arranged in the housing such that the exhaust gas communicated into the mixing chamber may bypass the charge-air cooler.
