Abstract:
The invention relates to an electromagnetic clutch (4) which is used to connect a steam engine (2) to a combustion engine (3) and which comprises a first shaft (8) that can be driven by the steam engine (2), and a second shaft (9) that can be driven by the combustion engine (3), an idler gear (23) being connected to the first shaft (8) and a clutch bell (26) being connected to the second shaft (9). A freewheel (27) is provided between the idler gear (23) and the clutch bell (26) and is used to transmit a rotational movement from the idler gear (23), which is connected to the first shaft (8), onto the clutch bell (26) and allows the clutch bell (26) to freewheel in relation to the idler gear (23). An electromagnetic actuation force can furthermore generate a frictional force between the idler gear (23) and the clutch bell (26) to carry along the steam engine (2).
Abstract:
A piston engine (1) that can be driven using a steam power process and is used in particular for utilizing waste heat from an internal combustion engine comprises at least one cylinder bore (4), a cylinder piston (5) which is arranged in the cylinder bore (4), and a rod (20) which is connected to the cylinder piston (5). The rod (20) is guided out of the cylinder bore (4). The cylinder piston (5) delimits a first operating space (9) and a second operating space (10) in the cylinder bore (4). A crankshaft (22) is disposed in a crankshaft space (21). The rod (20) is connected to a slider crank mechanism (23) which is disposed in the crankshaft space (21), the rod (20) being effectively connected to the crankshaft (22) via the slider crank mechanism (23), thus making it possible to obtain a large expansion volume while keeping the design of the piston engine (1) compact.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to an exhaust gas turbocharger for a motor vehicle. The turbocharger includes a turbine housing having a first area in which exhaust is carried to a turbine wheel and in which the turbine wheel is essentially situated and having a second area connected axially to the first area, such that the first area and the second area are essentially separated from one another by a separating element. It is provided that for thermal insulation, the separating element is made of a material having a low thermal conduction and/or thermal capacity.
Abstract:
An injector having an injector body to which a fuel line is connected for delivering fuel at high pressure. A filter bore is formed in the body and a fuel filter is disposed, through which filter the delivered fuel flows. A sealing seat is formed in the filter bore against which seat the end of the fuel line is pressed upon fastening of the fuel line to the injector body. The filter bore discharges at the outside of the injector body. The sealing seat is disposed with its longitudinal axis inclined to the longitudinal axis of the filter bore, and in the injector body, a bore extending at least approximately coaxially to the sealing seat is provided, into which the end region of the fuel line plunges. By the end region, plunging into the bore, of the fuel line, an outer end region of the filter bore, discharging at the outside of the injector body, is separated from an inner end region, subjected to high pressure, of the filter bore, and the fuel filter is disposed in the inner end region of the filter bore.
