Abstract

An engine system may include main exhaust ports fluidly communicated with each combustion chamber, main exhaust valves opening and closing each main exhaust port, a main exhaust manifold connected with the main exhaust ports, scavenge exhaust ports fluidly communicated with the each combustion chamber, scavenge valves opening and closing the each scavenge exhaust port, a scavenge manifold connected with the scavenge exhaust ports, in which at least a part of an exhaust gas passing through the scavenge manifold is re-circulated to the combustion chamber to be burned.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An engine system comprising:
main exhaust ports fluidly communicated with each combustion chamber;
main exhaust valves opening and closing each main exhaust port;
a main exhaust manifold connected with the main exhaust ports;
scavenge exhaust ports fluidly communicated with the each combustion chamber;
scavenge valves opening and closing the each scavenge exhaust port;
a scavenge manifold connected with the scavenge exhaust ports,
wherein at least a part of an exhaust gas passing through the scavenge manifold is re-circulated to the combustion chamber to be burned,
wherein the scavenge valve is configured to be opened later than an opening time of the main exhaust valve and configured to be closed later than a closing time of the main exhaust valve,
wherein a valve lift and a valve duration of the scavenge valve is less than a valve lift and a valve duration of the main exhaust valve,
wherein the valve duration of the scavenge valve is less than 140 degrees,
wherein a lift where valve profiles of the scavenge valve and the main exhaust valve are crossed is less than 2.0 mm,
wherein a lift where valve profiles of the scavenge valve and an intake valve are crossed is more than 80% of a maximum lift of the scavenge valve, and

a turbocharger,
wherein exhaust gas passing through the main exhaust manifold passes through a turbine of the turbo charger, and
the part of the exhaust gas passing through the scavenge manifold passes through a compressor of the turbo charger before being supplied to the combustion chamber.

2. The engine system of claim 1 , further comprising an EGR cooler,
wherein the part of the exhaust gas passing through the scavenge manifold passes through the EGR cooler before being supplied to the combustion chamber.

3. The engine system of claim 1 , wherein a diameter of the scavenge exhaust port is less than a diameter of the main exhaust port.

4. An engine system comprising:
main exhaust ports fluidly communicated with each combustion chamber;
main exhaust valves opening and closing each main exhaust port;
a main exhaust manifold connected with the main exhaust ports;
scavenge exhaust ports fluidly communicated with each combustion chamber;
scavenge valves opening and closing each scavenge exhaust port;
a scavenge manifold connected with the scavenge exhaust ports,
wherein exhaust gas passing through the scavenge manifold is re-circulated to the combustion chamber to be burned,
wherein the scavenge valve is configured to be opened later than an opening time of the main exhaust valve and configured to be closed later than a closing time of the main exhaust valve,
wherein a valve lift and a valve duration of the scavenge valve is less than a valve lift and a valve duration of the main exhaust valve,
wherein the valve duration of the scavenge valve is less than 140 degrees,
wherein a lift where valve profiles of the scavenge valve and the main exhaust valve are crossed is less than 2.0 mm,
wherein a lift where valve profiles of the scavenge valve and an intake valve are crossed is more than 80% of a maximum lift of the scavenge valve, and

a turbocharger,
wherein exhaust gas passing through the main exhaust manifold passes through a turbine of the turbo charger, and
the exhaust gas passing through the scavenge manifold passes through a compressor of the turbo charger before being supplied to the combustion chamber.

5. The engine system of claim 4 , further comprising an EGR cooler,
wherein the exhaust gas passing through the scavenge manifold passes through the EGR cooler before being supplied to the combustion chamber.

6. The engine system of claim 4 , wherein a diameter of the scavenge exhaust port is less than a diameter of the main exhaust port.
