Abstract:
The invention relates to a valve mechanism with a variable valve opening cross section, in which the valve mechanism is disposed at an admission opening of an internal combustion engine and has a gas exchange valve, which is acted on by the force of a valve spring and is displaceable axially back and forth inside a guide by a valve control unit; the position of the sealing slide relative to the gas exchange valve in the axial direction is continuously variable by means of an adjusting unit. It is provided that a sealing slide (10) is disposed coaxially to the gas exchange valve (12), is acted upon by the force of a coupling spring (24), and is displaceable axially back and forth by the valve control unit. The position of the sealing slide (10) is variable in the axial direction relative to the gas exchange valve (12) by means of an adjusting unit.
Abstract:
An improved internal combustion engine unit which includes a separating aperture between the cylinder and a separation chamber, and a separating valve adapted to control closing and opening the separating aperture. The separation chamber is connectable to the intake manifold and to the exhaust manifold, respectively, by the intake and exhaust apertures. Opening both the separating valve and the exhaust valve enables gas flow from the cylinder volume to the exhaust manifold through the open separating aperture, the separation chamber and the open exhaust aperture. Opening both the separating valve and the intake valve enables gas flow from the intake manifold to the cylinder volume through the open intake aperture, the separation chamber and the separating aperture. The intake valve and the exhaust valve are driven by solenoids controlled in turn by an engine computer. The separating valve is driven by a camshaft driven in turn by the engine.
Abstract:
Dual fuel compression ignition engines and methods that allow compression ignition on gaseous fuels like compressed natural gas, hydrogen and ammonia, yet will run on liquid fuels, including diesel fuels for such purposes as starting or when the gaseous fuel is not available or has been consumed and greater range or operating time is needed. Ignition of fuels having a high self ignition temperature is assured by recirculating high temperature exhaust gas back into the intake charge before compression. Existing engines may be converted to run as a dual fuel engine by replacement of the engine head or heads. Various embodiments are disclosed.
Abstract:
An intake and exhaust device for an internal combustion engine with direct injection comprises an intake and exhaust valve (11) with a stem (13), a head (12), and a seat (24) facing a combustion chamber (CC) of the engine (M), and intake duct (42) for the intake of air into the combustion chamber (CC), and an exhaust duct (38, 57) for the discharge of the exhaust gases, the exhaust duct (38, 57) being connected to the intake duct (42) upstream of the valve seat (24). The exhaust duct (38, 57) is arranged so as to be coaxial with the valve (11) and the intake duct (42) extends radially. The connection between the intake duct and the exhaust duct (38, 57) is in the vicinity of the seat (24) of the valve (11) so that the exhaust gas-flow conveyed through the connection has a radial velocity component directed towards the valve stem (13). The air is drawn in from the intake duct (42) as a result of the gas-flow passing through the exhaust duct (38, 57) during the exhaust phase and as a result of the movement of a piston (P) in the cylinder during the intake phase.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for the supply of additional air in a combustion engine (1) equipped with at least one cylinder (3), comprising an inlet (11, 23) for the addition of ordinary air to said cylinder (3), a tank (15) for storing said additional air under pressure, and a feeder passage (19, 20, 48) for the feeding of said additional air to said cylinder (3) via a valve device (13). The invention is characterized in that said valve arrangement (13) comprises a first valve (25) for the supply of said ordinary air, which first valve (25) is shaped with a passage (34) for the supply of said additional air, which passage (34) is connected to said feeder passage (19, 20, 48). The invention provides an improved device for the supply of additional air to the engine (1) during certain preset operational conditions.
Abstract:
The present invention is a system for the distribution of the induction and exhaust flows for four-stroke engines, in which the engine valve/valves (V) are used both for the induction and for the exhaust. The valves (V) remain open from the beginning of the exhaust until the end of the induction; a mechanical system constituted by deviating valves (P), check plates or other elements provides for connecting, alternately, the exhaust pipe (S) and the induction pipe (A) with the engine valves (V). This way it is possible to exploit a greater transfer section between the combustion chamber and the exhaust and induction pipes.
Abstract:
A rotary valve for an engine comprising an outer casing (2) having at least one bore (4) and inlet (30), exhaust port (46), transfer port (40) opening into the bore (4), at least one rotor (26) disposed in the bore (4) or bores and valve means (54) for admitting an inlet charge from the transfer port (40) into the engine and for venting exhaust gases from the engine into the transfer port (40) and porting means for placing the inlet port (30) in fluid communication with the transfer port (40) to supply an inlet charge thereto and for placing the exhaust port (46) in fluid communication with the transfer port (40) for venting off exhaust gases, within the rotor (26) is adapted to be rotated by the vented gases and to compress the inlet charge as a result of such rotation.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a dosing valve (1), at least having a valve housing (6) with a duct (7) and having a valve body (2) which is movable in order to open and close the dosing valve (1) and having a spring (3) which exerts a spring force on the valve body (2) and thus holds the valve body (2) in a rest position, wherein the spring (3) is supported on at least one calibration body (4), the valve body (2), the spring (3) and the at least one calibration body (4) are arranged in the duct (7), and the at least one calibration body (4) is fastened in the valve housing (6) at least by means of a cohesive connection (5).
