Abstract

A method of raising exhaust gas temperatures of a two-cycle uniflow scavenged engine at lower loads. At lower loads, the exhaust valves are activated with a frequency that is less frequent than every engine cycle. This exhaust valve deactivation may be combined with additional engine operating strategies, such as by using fewer than all cylinders as combusting cylinders, adjusting fueling to combusting cylinders, and reducing compressor output.
