Abstract:
An exhaust flow control system comprises a housing defining first and second passages that are fluidly connected to first and second scrolls of a twin scroll turbocharger and to a high pressure exhaust gas recirculation (HPEGR) system, a poppet valve configured to (i) in an open position, fluidly connect the first and second scrolls to each other and to the HPEGR system via the first and second passages and (ii) in a closed position, fluidly disconnect the first and second scrolls from each other and from the HPEGR system, and a controller configured to command the poppet valve to one of the open and closed positions based on one or more engine operating parameters thereby allowing the twin scroll turbocharger to operate in both a twin scroll mode and a mono scroll mode while also allowing for HPEGR control with minimal additional system volume.
