A system for driving an EGR stream for an engine includes an exhaust gas turbine, a main compressor and a supplemental EGR compressor. The turbine drives the main compressor to pressurize intake air and drives the supplemental EGR compressor to pressurize an EGR exhaust gas stream to be introduced into the intake air system. A supplemental EGR compressor takes suction of exhaust gas downstream from the turbine. A three-way valve proportions exhaust gas between the engine exhaust gas discharge conduit and the suction of the supplemental EGR compressor. The turbine drives a shaft and the main compressor and the supplemental EGR compressor are driven by having corresponding compressor wheels fixed onto the common shaft.
A method of a driving an EGR gas flow rate from an engine exhaust to an engine air intake, comprising the steps of:
An EGR system for an engine, the engine having an intake air manifold, an exhaust manifold, a turbocharger with an exhaust gas turbine that drives an intake air compressor, the exhaust gas manifold directing exhaust gas into the exhaust gas turbine and the intake air compressor directing compressed air into the intake air manifold, comprising:
A turbocharger system for an engine, the engine having an intake air manifold, an exhaust manifold, the exhaust gas manifold directing exhaust gas into the turbocharger and the turbocharger directing compressed air into the intake air manifold, comprising:
