Abstract:
Method and arrangement for regenerating a particle filter (15) arranged in thermal proximity to a catalyst unit (16) in an exhaust duct (10) connected to an internal combustion engine (2). The particle filter is located downstream of an adjustable exhaust pressure regulator (20) for regulating an exhaust flow through the exhaust duct. When the internal combustion engine is driven at low engine load, the exhaust pressure regulator (20) is activated with a predetermined regulating pressure. Fuel is then supplied to the exhaust duct (10) by means of an injection unit, the catalyst unit (16) being exposed to the fuel, which is oxidized, and the particle filter (15) being heated to such a temperature that soot particles are converted into carbon dioxide in reaction with oxygen contained in the exhaust flow.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an apparatus for an internal combustion engine which for each cylinder with associated piston has at least one inlet valve and at least one exhaust valve for controlling the connection between the combustion chamber in the cylinder and an intake system and an exhaust system respectively. A rotatable camshaft with a cam lobe is designed to interact with a main rocker arm and a secondary rocker arm, the two rocker arms serving to transmit the movement of the cam lobe to the inlet/exhaust valve. The cam lobe is arranged to act on both of the rocker arms during each revolution of the camshaft. The secondary rocker arm interacts with a hydraulic piston, which is displaceable in a hydraulic cylinder and which forms part of a hydraulic circuit having a hydraulic fluid source, and which permits switching between at least two different working positions.
Abstract:
Method and apparatus for providing an internal combustion engine which for each cylinder, with the associated piston, has at least one inlet valve and at least one exhaust valve (10) for controlling the connection between the combustion chamber in the cylinder and an intake system and an exhaust system, respectively. A rotatable camshaft (18) with a cam (22) is designed to interact with a first cam follower (17) and a second cam follower (20) in order to switch between two different operating modes. The cam followers are mounted on a pivotal rocker arm (13), the second cam follower (20) being hydraulically adjustable between two positions by means of a piston (21) located in a hydraulic cylinder. The hydraulic cylinder is connected to a hydraulic fluid source via a hydraulic fluid duct and the piston can be moved from one position to the other by the action of a quantity of hydraulic fluid delivered to the hydraulic cylinder.
Abstract:
Diesel engine with unit injectors and a catalytic converter arranged in the engine exhaust system, for reaction with uncombusted fuel. The injectors have spill valves, which in their closed position build up pressure in the injectors, and needle control valves, which in their closed position keep the needle valves of the injectors closed and which, when they are open, open the needle valves. The unit injectors have pump plungers, which are driven by individual cam elements whit a cam curve shaped so that a pressure is maintained in the injects for so long a period during one cycle that injection of fuel is permitted at least when an associated exhaust valve in the combustion chamber begins to open so late during the expansion stroke and temperature drop, that fuel after injection is not combusted in the cylinder but reaches the catalytic converted uncombusted.
Abstract:
An internal combustion engine is disclosed including at least two cylinders, each including an inlet port, an air inlet manifold for providing air to the cylinders, at least two outlets for emitting exhaust gases from the cylinders, a recirculation conduit for reducing harmful emissions from the exhaust gases and extending from one of the outlet for recirculating the exhaust gases from an outlet to a connection point in the air inlet manifold thereby defining a first volume from the outlet to the connection point, the air inlet manifold being divided into at least two further volumes defined by the distance between the connection point to each of the inlet points, at least one turbine for recovering energy from the exhaust gases, and a compressor for compressing air supplied to the air inlet manifold, the first volume and the further volumes being dimensioned such that the recirculated exhaust gases are substantially equally distributed between each of the cylinders.
Abstract:
A method and an arrangement for reducing vibrations in an internal combustion engine (2) which has a plurality of drive units (3-8) connected to a common output shaft (9). These are equipped with a combustion chamber and inlets (34-39) for fuel from organs for fuel supply. Any one of the driving units (7) can be switched from a normal operating condition to an alternative operating condition, in which the supply of fuel to the drive unit is blocked, which causes an alteration in the torque of the driving unit which has been thus switched. The amount of fuel supplied to the drive units which are in a normal operating condition is distributed according to a chosen pattern in order to create torques in these which cause a chosen suppresion of vibrations.
Abstract:
A counter reflector for use in drying webs, e.g. in a paper making machine, receives heat radiation, which has passed through the paper and returns the energy to the web by reflection. The counter reflector consists of a frame, glass ceramic shields (5) facing the paper web and having a chamber (14) to be pressurized with a drying gas, which issues through openings (10, 11, 12, 13) in and between the glass ceramic shields (5) and thus, the said of the paper web facing the counter reflector is dried by reflected heat radiation as well as warm gas flow in a continuous and steady way, resulting in easily controlled drying/curing conditions in the paper web. The issuing gas flow also serves to pressurize and thus stabilize the space between the counter reflector and the adjacent web and to keep away the latter from the former when saturated with heat. The counter reflector is provided to entrap all further heat which is generated in the drying/curing zone.
Abstract:
There is disclosed a spot welding device for spot welding metal parts by explosive force. The device comprises two plugs tightly fitted into a rigid tubular member and so spaced and shaped that a transverse substantially conical space is formed between the two plugs. This space is filled with a suitable explosive material which can be exploded by a detonator activated when desired by an igniter. The explosive force generated upon detonation of the explosive material produces a generally annular spot weld when the device is placed with one of its ends upon metal parts to be welded.
Abstract:
A turbo compound transmission, such as in a heavy duty or medium duty diesel engine, includes a turbo compound turbine to be driven by exhaust gases from an internal combustion engine, and a coupling including a first rotor including a mechanical input drive adapted to be driven by the turbine, and a second rotor including a mechanical output drive. A brake is arranged to brake and limit the rotation of the turbine. The coupling is arranged to decouple when braking with the brake, subjecting the coupling to a torque above a predetermined torque limit. A method for controlling a turbo compound transmission is also disclosed.
Abstract:
Embodiments include a method in a server for facilitating anonymous communication between a first web browser on a first communication device and a second web browser on a second communication device. The method includes dynamically establishing a signalling channel on the server for the first web browser responsive to the first web browser browsing to the server. The method further includes creating a unique identifier for the signalling channel, temporarily storing the unique identifier at the server, and then sending the unique identifier to the first web browser. The first communication device correspondingly sends the unique identifier to the second web browser, such an in an email or text message. Then, responsive to the second web browser browsing to the server using the unique identifier, the method includes connecting the second web browser to the established signaling channel for anonymous communication between the first and second web browsers over that channel.
