    Abstract: A combustion engine includes an engine valve arranged to selectively open/close a combustion chamber of the engine, a cylinder head adjacent the combustion chamber, arranged to guide a valve stem of the engine valve, the engine valve being axially displaceable relative to the cylinder head between the combustion chamber closed position and the combustion chamber fully opened position, and a valve spring retainer connected to the valve stem. The valve spring retainer partly delimits a gas spring volume, which is in fluid communication with an adjacent gas volume via a port when the engine valve is in the combustion chamber closed position, and which is separated from the adjacent gas volume when the engine valve is in the combustion chamber fully open position, the port being open during at least 25% of the maximal stroke of the engine valve and being closed due to a displacement of the engine valve.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a multi-way valve including a control pressure channel, a first control fluid channel between a first opening and the control pressure channel, a second control fluid channel between a second opening and the control pressure channel, a valve body in the first and second control fluid channels, and an electrically controlled device having a drive member and an armature. The armature moves axially according to the drive member between inactive and active positions. Movement of the armature from inactive to active displaces the valve body arrangement to an active position where the first control fluid channel is closed and the second control fluid channel is open. The device further includes a drive body connected to the armature and a spring between the armature and drive body. The drive body abuts the valve body and the spring in a compressed state when the armature is in active position.

    Abstract: An internal combustion engine includes combustion chambers, each having a controllable intake valve controlling an intake port, a controllable exhaust valve controlling an exhaust port, a piston, and a fuel injector. An intake manifold is connected to the intake port of each chamber. In catalytic converter warm-up mode, each chamber is driven in four-stroke operation including a 720 crank angle degrees cycle, and opens the intake port, starting to open in 90-180 CAD, and fully closes the intake port in 180-270 CAD, opens the exhaust port during the power stroke, starting in 405-495 CAD, opens the intake port during the exhaust stroke, starting in 610-690 CAD, and fully closes the exhaust port during the exhaust stroke in 630-710 CAD. Exhaust gas is forced into the intake manifold by the piston, mixing fuel and exhaust in the intake manifold, and fully closes the intake port in 700 to 720+20 CAD.
