An exhaust gas turbocharger for an internal combustion engine has an exhaust gas turbine in the exhaust gas train and a compressor in the intake tract, whereby an adjustable throttle device is provided upstream from the compressor wheel, for regulating the air mass stream to be supplied. The throttle device comprises a first guide grid and a second guide grid in the inflow region to the compressor wheel. Each guide grid possesses an adjustable grid geometry.

A waste heat utilization device (2) for an internal combustion engine has a Rankine cycle (8) that recovers waste heat from an internal combustion engine (4), a generator (30) that is rotationally driven by an expander (14) and converts a rotational drive force into electric power, a converter (32) that controls the rotational speed of the expander (14) through the generator (30), refrigerant-condition detecting means (22, 24, 26, 28) that detects the pressure and temperature of a refrigerant passing through the expander (14), and a controller (34) that calculates pressure ratio Rp of the refrigerant in the immediate upstream and downstream of the expander (14) and specific heat ratio K of the refrigerant passing through the expander (14) on the basis of the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant, which have been detected by the refrigerant-condition detecting means (22, 24, 26, 28), calculates a preset pressure ratio Rps of the pressure ratio Rp by multiplying predetermined volume ratio Rv of the expander (14) by the specific heat ratio K, and specifies rotational speed N of the expander (14) to the converter (32) on the basis of the pressure ratio Rp and the preset pressure ratio Rps.

Ein Abgasturbolader fur eine Brennkraftmaschine weist eine Turbine und einen von der Turbine angetriebenen Verdichter auf. Der Verdichter besteht aus einem Verdichterrad in einem Stromungskanal, wobei mindestens ein radial ausen am Verdichterrad in Achsrichtung des Rades verlaufender und mit dem Stromungskanal kommunizierender Uberstromkanal angeordnet ist. Zur variablen Einstellung des wirksamen Stromungsquerschnitts des Uberstromkanals ist ein aus zwei Teilringen bestehender Uberstromring vorgesehen, dessen Teilringe relativ zueinander verstellbar sind. DOLLAR A Um einen Abgasturbolader mit einem Verdichter mit einem erweiterten Kennfeld zu schaffen, ist in jedem Teilring mindestens eine den Uberstromkanal bildende, axial verlaufende Uberstromnut mit radialer Erstreckung im Teilring vorgesehen, wobei die Teilringe zwischen einer Uberdeckungsstellung und einer Sperrstellung verstellbar sind.

Methods and systems for low emission power generation in hydrocarbon recovery processes are provided. One system includes integrated pressure maintenance and miscible flood systems with low emission power generation. An alternative system provides for low emission power generation, carbon sequestration, enhanced oil recovery (EOR), or carbon dioxide sales using a hot gas expander and external combustor. Another alternative system provides for low emission power generation using a gas power turbine to compress air in the inlet compressor and generate power using hot carbon dioxide laden gas in the expander. Other efficiencies may be gained by incorporating heat cross-exchange, a desalination plant, co-generation, and other features.

In an exhaust-gas turbocharger of an internal combustion engine including an exhaust-gas turbine coupled to a compressor by a shaft and having a relatively large and a relatively small turbine inlet flow passage, the relatively large turbine inlet flow passage is arranged adjacent to the shaft and the relatively small turbine inlet flow passage facing away from the shaft and a switching device is provided via which the exhaust gas of the cylinders can be selectively supplied either to the small or to the large or to both of turbine inlet flow passages and furthermore, an exhaust gas recirculation line connected to the exhaust gas line leading to the small turbine inlet flow passage is in communication with the engine intake tract.

Exhaust gas turbocharger in an internal combustion engine

In an internal combustion engine provided with two exhaust gas turbochargers which each comprise a turbine in an exhaust line and one compressor in an intake section of the engine, two exhaust lines are provided which are each assigned to at least one of the exhaust gas turbines, an exhaust gas recirculation device being arranged between an exhaust line upstream of an exhaust gas turbine and the intake section downstream of a compressor and the two exhaust lines including bypass lines with a control valve for selectively permitting the exhaust gas to bypass the turbine closer to the engine.
