Abstract:
An engine system is provided. The system comprises an engine, first and second compressors supplying air to the engine, a first compressor recirculation valve adjustable to two restriction levels, and a second compressor recirculation valve adjustable to three or more restriction levels. In this way, the first and second compressor recirculation valves may be controlled to avoid compressor surge while providing a sufficient amount of boost to meet power demands.
