Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Methods and systems are provided for an engine including a first turbocharger having a first compressor and a second turbocharger having a second compressor. An EGR differential between the first compressor and the second compressor may be increased under a condensation condition, and decreased under a surge condition. The EGR differential may also be decreased when a compressor outlet temperature exceeds an outlet temperature threshold.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method of operating a twin-turbocharger engine, comprising: increasing an EGR flow differential between EGR flow to a first compressor and to a second compressor via closing a cross-over valve responsive to an intake temperature that corresponds with condensation accumulation; and decreasing the EGR flow differential between EGR flow to the first and to the second compressor via opening the cross-over valve responsive to a surge condition.…
