Abstract

See full text

Various systems and methods are described for reducing motive flow rate through an aspirator. In one example, a method comprises flowing intake air, heated upon passage through an interstitial space of a double wall exhaust system, through an aspirator coupled to an engine vacuum consumption device to reduce motive mass flow rate at the aspirator as exhaust temperature increases. A position of an intake throttle may be adjusted based on the motive flow rate from the aspirator.
