  • Patent number: 10082114
    Abstract: An Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system for an engine system is provided. The EGR system includes an exhaust gas treatment module positioned upstream of an EGR cooler with respect to an exhaust gas flow direction. The exhaust gas treatment module is in selective fluid communication with an exhaust gas line of an engine. The EGR system also includes a bypass line in selective fluid communication with the exhaust gas line of the engine. The EGR system further includes a valve arrangement configured to route an exhaust gas flow through at least one of the exhaust gas treatment module and the bypass line.

  • Publication number: 20170234271
    Abstract: The exhaust gas recirculation system includes a plurality of coolers arranged in a predefined configuration that are configured to receive a flow of exhaust gas and a flow of coolant therethrough. The exhaust gas recirculation system further includes plurality of valves associated with each of the plurality of coolers. The plurality of valves is configured to regulate at least one of the flows of exhaust gas and the coolant through the corresponding cooler. The exhaust gas recirculation system also includes a control unit configured to selectively switch opening and closing of the plurality of valves such that at least one of the flow of exhaust gas and the flow of coolant through at least one cooler of the plurality of coolers is regulated during an operation of the exhaust gas recirculation system, to actively regenerate the at least one cooler.

  • Publication number: 20160305373
    Abstract: A multi-cylinder engine including a donor cylinder, a non-donor cylinder, at least one intake manifold, and at least one camshaft is provided. An intake valve of the donor cylinder controls a flow of air into the donor cylinder. The donor cylinder fluidly communicates exhaust gases to an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system. An intake valve of the non-donor cylinder controls a flow of air into the non-donor cylinder. The at least one camshaft controls an opening and closing of the intake valve of the non-donor cylinder such that the intake valve of the non-donor cylinder is maintained open for a first intake duration. The at least one camshaft controls an opening and closing of the intake valve of the donor cylinder such that the at least one intake valve of the donor cylinder is maintained open for a second intake duration which is greater than the first intake duration.
