Abstract:
Present day diesel engines having aluminum piston assemblies are limited to combustion chamber pressures of approximately 12,410 kPa (1,800 psi) whereas the desire is to increase such pressures up to the 15,170 kPa (2,200 psi) range. To reach such levels the instant engine has a piston assembly including a steel piston member having an upper cylindrical portion of a diameter D and defining a top surface, a depending tubular wall having a top ring groove a minimal elevational distance TRH below the top surface, and an annular cooling recess located beneath the top surface and juxtaposed to the top ring groove for removing heat away therefrom in use. The piston member is preferably forged and subsequently machined to precisely controllable dimensions, and has a ratio of TRH to D of less than 0.06. Moreover, the piston assembly is preferably of the articulated type and includes a forged aluminum piston skirt connected to the piston member through a common wrist pin. The skirt has an upwardly facing oil trough that is disposed in a cooperating relationship with the cooling recess of the piston member. A midsupported cylinder liner surrounds the piston assembly and a recess is provided thereabout at an elevation aligned with the top ring groove for maximizing cooling.
Abstract:
In a heat insulating engine of this invention, the piston head is made up of a retainer body, a heat insulating member mounted on the retainer body, and a thin ceramic member formed over the upper surface of the heat insulating member exposed to the burning gas and over the circumference of the former two members. The retainer body is mounted to a piston skirt through a heat insulating gasket. The cylinder is so constructed that the piston head does not contact the cylinder liner upper portion of the head-liner but can contact the cylinder liner lower portion. When the piston is situated close to the top dead center, the heat insulating structure of the combustion chamber prevents heat from being released from the piston head. When the piston is pushed down, the heat of the piston head is released through the cylinder liner lower portion, rapidly reducing the temperature in the combustion chamber, preventing fresh air taken in from thermally expanding and therefore preventing a reduction in the air intake efficiency.
Abstract:
A piston for an internal combustion engine, in particular of a passenger automobile, the piston including a ring carrier held in a piston basic body for accommodation of piston rings associated with the piston. In order to attain favorable transmission conditions for the piston transverse forces, the ring carrier is made of a ceramic material and is designed for at least partial transmission of the transverse forces acting on the piston to the cylinder wall. The ring carrier may be held in the piston basic body by casting-in or also with the help of a locking ring securing the ring carrier axially and in the circumferential direction.
Abstract:
In a light alloy piston for internal combustion engines, a fibrous insert body is embedded in the cast material adjacent to each of the bosses defining the piston pin bores. In order to minimize the costs of manufacturing such piston, the fibrous body extends only above the horizontal plane which includes the piston pin axis between that plane and the piston head and on both sides of the plane which includes the piston pin axis and the piston axis extends over not more than the load-carrying length of the boss defining the piston pin bore.
Abstract:
In the European patent application publication EP OS O No. 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. The invention further provides U-type pump elements which eliminate the clamping rings. A second pressure led into the space in the housing which surrounds the pump elements makes it possible to increase the pressure in the pump, for example, to double the pressure.

Abstract:
An arrangement which includes a coned ring forms with the coned portion an interior space. The interior space decreases and increases its volume, when the coned portion of the ring is compressed and de-compressed. The coned ring has a radial outer portion and a radial inner portion. The radial inner portion forms a bore. The radial outer portion is provided with a seat face portion. The seat face portion contacts and bears a respective portion of a body, which may be a second coned ring, a thrust body or an outer ring. The arrangement is utilized to center a coned ring relative to a neighboring body or to provide and effectively seal a working chamber for the reception and expulsion of a fluid.
Abstract:
Light alloy articles comprising a body of light alloy having a composite fiber/light alloy layer, a sprayed heat-resistant alloy layer, and a sprayed ceramic base layer formed on the body in this sequence exhibit improved heat resistance and insulation and are very useful in the manufacture of internal combustion engine pistons. A method for producing such a coated light alloy article by spraying is also provided.
Abstract:
A continuous ring with inside diameter (D.sub.in.sup.R) larger than the outside diameter (D.sub.out.sup.R) of the piston irrespective of conditions of operation. The ring's outside diameter when measured outside the cylinder equals or slightly exceeds the inside diameter of the cylinder. The ring is sized and designed according to various parameters determined so as to prevent piston seizing in the cylinder.
Abstract:
In an axial piston motor or pump the cylinder barrel is mounted on a medial shaft which has a shoulder which axially bears against the front end of the rotor barrel. The rear end of the medial shaft is radially borne in a housing portion. The front portion of the medial shaft is provided with a bearing member of an axial thrust bearing for support on a respective axial thrust bearing member in the housing. On the rear end of the rotary barrel an axially selfthrusting control body is provided to seal the flow of fluid to and from the cylinders of the rotary barrel. The control body presses against the rotary barrel, the rotary barrel presses against the bearing of the medial shaft and the thrust bearing member of the shaft bears on the thrust bearing member of the housing. As a result thereof the cylinders in the rotary barrel can be straight through bores. The manufacturing of the rotor barrel is thereby simplified and the flow acceleration losses of former sack-bare bore type cylinders are prevented.
Abstract:
A piston is manufactured by incorporating a reinforcement which is formed at least in part by a fibre material and which is so non-uniform as to provide differing characteristics in the cast piston in predetermined differing regions of the piston. For example, the volumetric density of the fibres may be different in one region of the reinforcement as compared with another region in order to produce a more resistant region in the cast piston. Additionally or alternatively, the reinforcement may hold finely divided materials which combine with the piston material during casting to give improved properties. Examples of this are the incorporation of particles of silicon, silicon carbide or silicon nitride to improve wear and/or the incorporation of molybdenum disulphide and tungsten disulphide or graphite to improve lubrication.
