Abstract

An exhaust gas conduction system for a gasoline engine comprises an exhaust gas line and an intake line which can be connected to an intake manifold, a charge air compressor arranged in the intake line, and a turbine arranged in the exhaust gas line. The exhaust gas line has at least one bypass line with a bypass throttle valve. At least one exhaust gas recirculation line with an EGR throttle valve is provided. At least one particle filter is arranged in the bypass line and an exhaust gas valve is provided in the exhaust gas line.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An exhaust gas conduction system for a gasoline engine comprising an exhaust gas line which can be connected to an exhaust manifold of the gasoline engine, an intake line which can be connected to an intake manifold of the gasoline engine, and comprising a charge air compressor, which is arranged in the intake line, and a turbine, which is arranged in the exhaust gas line, wherein the exhaust gas line has at least one bypass line with a bypass throttle valve, said line branching off from the exhaust gas line upstream of the turbine and branching back into the exhaust gas line at an opening downstream of the turbine, and wherein at least one exhaust gas recirculation line with an EGR throttle valve is provided, said recirculation line opening into the intake line, wherein the exhaust gas recirculation line branches off from the bypass line at a branch, wherein the bypass throttle valve is arranged upstream of the branch of the exhaust gas recirculation line, and wherein an exhaust gas valve is provided in the exhaust gas line upstream of the opening of the bypass line, wherein
at least one bypass-particle filter is arranged in the bypass line downstream of the branch of the exhaust gas recirculation line and wherein a charge air recirculation line is provided, which has a branch downstream of a charge air cooler and an opening between a EGR cooler and the EGR throttle valve.

2 . The exhaust gas conduction system according to claim 1 , wherein a bypass valve is provided in the portion of the bypass line downstream of the bypass-particle filter and upstream of its opening into the intake line.

3 . The exhaust gas conduction system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one bypass-particle filter has a catalytically active 3-way coating for converting CO, HC and NOx.

4 . The exhaust gas conduction system according to claim 1 , wherein a cooler is provided within the exhaust gas recirculation line upstream of the EGR throttle valve.

5 . The exhaust gas conduction system according to claim 1 , wherein a 3-way exhaust gas catalytic converter and/or a main-particle filter is provided in the exhaust gas line downstream of the opening of the bypass line.

6 . The exhaust gas conduction system according to claim 1 , wherein downstream of the bypass-particle filter and upstream of the opening, the bypass line is free of exhaust gas valves or exhaust gas flaps, or that only one bypass valve is provided in the bypass line downstream of the bypass-particle filter and upstream of the opening.

7 . The exhaust gas conduction system according to claim 1 , wherein the bypass line is free of connection lines to the exhaust gas line upstream of the bypass-particle filter or upstream of the branch of the exhaust gas recirculation line.

8 . The exhaust gas conduction system according to claim 1 , further comprising an exhaust gas diversion, which branches off at a diversion-branch downstream of the bypass-particle filter and before the opening and which branches back into the exhaust gas line downstream of a 3-way catalytic converter and/or downstream of a main-particle filter, wherein at least one first diversion valve is positioned between the branch and a diversion-opening.

9 . The exhaust gas conduction system according to claim 8 , further comprising a diversion section, which branches off between the branch and the first diversion valve and which branches back at a further-diversion-opening downstream of the main-particle filter, wherein a second diversion valve is provided in the diversion section.

10 . An exhaust gas system and/or gasoline engine comprising an exhaust gas conduction system according to claim 1 .

11 . A method for operating a gasoline engine comprising an exhaust gas conduction system or an exhaust gas system according to claim 1 , comprising:
a) in response to the gasoline engine being in cold starting mode, the bypass throttle valve is open and the EGR throttle valve and the exhaust gas valve are closed, so that the exhaust gas flow is guided past the turbine through the bypass line and the bypass-particle filter, b) in response to the gasoline engine being in partial load mode, the bypass throttle valve is closed and the exhaust gas valve is open, wherein depending on the operating point of the engine, an exhaust gas mass flow is adjusted within the exhaust gas recirculation line via the EGR throttle valve, and c) in response to the gasoline engine being in full load mode, the EGR throttle valve is closed and the exhaust gas valve is open, wherein depending on the operating point of the engine, an exhaust gas mass flow is adjusted within the bypass line via the bypass throttle valve.

12 . The method according to claim 11 , wherein charge air is introduced into the exhaust gas line via the charge air recirculation line and via the EGR line and the bypass-particle filter and/or the main-particle filter is regenerated.
