Abstract:
Conventional direct-injection internal combustion engines having a fuel injector with multiple fuel spray orifices will not completely ignite and burn relatively lower-cetane-number alternative fuels such as 100 percent methanol or ethanol. That is because the fuel spray injection pattern, per se, usually cannot carry or propagate a flame to all the injected fuel which is typically made up of individual fuel streams which are separated by sectors of fuel-deficient intake air. The present fuel combustion system (10) includes a multiple-orifice fuel injector (22), a baffle (138) having a concave surface (146), and a fuel ignition-initiating device (22) such as glow plug positioned generally in spaced relation between the fuel injector (22) and the concave surface (146). The baffle (138) intercepts and temporarily maintains a stoichiometric preselected portion (34,38) of at least one, and preferably two, fuel streams (102,106) in ignitable proximity to the fuel ignition-initiating device (26) to positively start a localized flame (42) of burning fuel. The baffle (138) controlledly reflects and rapidly directs the resultant expanding flame (42) of burning fuel to all of the remaining fuel streams (110) so that they are interconnectedly bridged with the flame (42) and thereby positively ignited.
Abstract:
In the European patent application publication EP OS No. 0 102 441 a high pressure pump is shown which uses tapered rings (disc spring derivatives) which are clamped together as a pump chamber. The clamping rings required cutting into sections which is expensive and time consuming. The present discoverings now show that the friction at compression of the coned rings was very large. The present invention now discovers that radially flexible ring portions should be provided to the coned ring portions in order to eliminate the friction and to reduce the time and cost of the production of the pump arrangement.
Abstract:
In a fluid pump or motor improvements are provided to the piston shoes therein to permit a higher pressure in the respective device. Other improvements are done to the hydrostatic bearings in radial piston or radial chamber type fluid motors and pumps. A further arrangement is, that plural pistons are applied to permit the use of two different fluids in the respective device. This leads also to the application of disc springs and their modification in a pump or motor to make the pumping of non-viscous fluids like water possible at very high pressure.
Abstract:
A radial piston machine wherein fluid flows through the cylinders which are provided in a rotor, the disclosure provides a radial bearing in the middle between a plurality of at least two radial cylinder groups. Thereby the former bearings which were provided on the ends of the rotor can be reduced to smaller sizes to carry a lower radial load. The provision of the bearing in the middle of the rotor prevents the former miniturization of the control bodies on the ends of the rotor. The control bodies can now be radially enlarged and the restriction of the flow through quantities of fluid through the control bodies is overcome. The devices are now able to operate with a better efficiency and power. In order to obtain these features the medial radial bearing in the middle between the cylinder group must be of the specific structures of this patent application.
Abstract:
In a vehicle or device a fluid motor is employed to drive rotary members, such as wheels, propellers, tracks. The motor is provided with an arrangement which includes a control means and an axially moveable member. By utilizing the control means for example by a flow of fluid, the axially moveable member is used to apply an action, which is not common to the usual operation of fluid motors. The arrangement may be used to arrest the rotor of the motor from rotation, when no pressure is in the driving fluid line. It may also be used to control the pitch of propellers with variable pitch arrangements. Also possible is to use the arrangement to automatically obtain an auto-rotation of rotor blades on vertical axes of vertically take off and landing vehicles, when the pressure in the fluid line to the motors for driving the motors drops below a predetermined minimum of pressure.
Abstract:
A fluid motor has working chambers which take in and expell a fluid. The fluid under pressure acts in working chambers to produce a torque and thereby to drive the motor, constituting with the associated parts the drive of the motor.At least one separated fluid line supplies fluid into a space which includes or operates an additional member provided on the fluid motor. The mentioned fluid line and space are able to operate independently of the drive system of the motor.It is thereby possible to operate over the fluid line, for example by remote control, the additional member on the motor independently of the fluid flow of the drive of the motor. The additional member is thereby able to do an additional work or function independently of the drive of the motor.In other embodiments of the invention, the additional member may work in unison or dependence on the fluid drive of the motor, when so desired. Instead of applying only a single separated fluid line a number of separated fluid lines can also be applied and may provide different actions of one or more additional members on the fluid motor.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an internal combustion engine comprising a first auxiliary combustion chamber formed in the cylinder head and connected to the main combustion chamber via a first connecting passage. The spark plug is located in the first connecting passage. The second auxiliary combustion chamber, having no spark plug, is formed in the cylinder head or in the piston. The second auxiliary combustion chamber is connected to the main combustion chamber via a second connecting passage. The second connecting passage opens into the main combustion chamber at a position upon which a burning jet injected from the first connecting passage does not directly impinge.
