Abstract:
In a vane type compressor, in which a plurality of radial vanes are supported on a compressor shaft and extended through a rotary piston, each vane is formed of two wall portions spaced from each other and two ring portions receiving bearings for supporting the vanes on the shaft. The wall portions and the ring portions of each vane are formed as a one-piece element which may be produced by stamping-out and bending a sheet metal. A supporting structure of kernels of aluminum disposed in a honeycomb manner is inserted between two wall portions of each vane.
Abstract:
The invention is directed to a method and apparatus for controlling the charger of an internal combustion engine as required by the operator of the vehicle. A first switch switches in the charger by energizing a relay when the accelerator pedal is depressed down to the end of the full-load position thereof. A second switch is connected in series with the first switch and interrupts the supply circuit for the relay thereby switching out the charger when the angular position of the throttle valve has dropped below a predetermined value. Self-holding contacts of the relay are connected in parallel with and bridge the first switch. In this way, the full-load curve without the charger switched in corresponds approximately to the curve defining engine operation with charger where switch-out of the charger is about to occur. In lieu of switching out the charger by releasing the accelerator pedal to a position corresponding to a predetermined constant angular position value of the throttle valve, this value at which switch-out occurs can be made dependent upon the rotational speed of the engine.
Abstract:
A rotary vacuum pump is proposed, having a rotor with vanes which rotates eccentrically within a housing bore. Each vane is coupled with a body which is ineffective at relatively low pump rpm; however, at higher rpm, the body engages the vane in such a manner that it removes the vane from its track within the housing bore.In this manner, an rpm-dependent shutoff device is created for the pump. In cooperation with the furnishing of underpressure as an auxiliary pressure in motor vehicles, the pump is used to supplement the underpressure which prevails when the internal combustion engine is at low, idling rpm; this prevailing underpressure is at a very low pressure level, and so when it is thus supplemented there is sufficient auxiliary vacuum force available over the entire rpm range.
Abstract:
A method for controlling a solenoid valve, particularly in a motor vehicle. The inventive method is characterized by applying a first voltage (U—1) to a coil (21) of the solenoid valve (22) until a first point in time (t—1) and then applying a second voltage (U—2) with a smaller value. The first point in time t—1 precedes the point in time at which the solenoid valve (22) reaches its final position.
Abstract:
A high-pressure fuel pump for an internal combustion engine is proposed, in which the regulating behavior in idling and lower partial-load operation is improved to such an extent that a separate pressure regulating valve in the high-pressure region of the fuel injection system can be dispensed with.
Abstract:
A method is provided for starting an internal combustion engine which includes a starter, an ignition, pressure store and injection valves for injecting fuel directly into the engine. An electrical high pressure pump is connected to an electrical fuel pump downstream thereof for pumping the fuel into the pressure store. The electrical fuel pump and the electrical high pressure pump are first switched on together with the ignition in order to generate a pressure in the pressure store adequate for the injection of the fuel. Then, the starter is switched on after a time duration after the electric fuel pump and the electrical high pressure fuel pump are switched on.
Abstract:
A high-pressure fuel pump which is suitable above all for use in internal combustion engines with direct gasoline injection, in which the pressure surge upon opening of a check valve between the high-pressure line and the pumping chamber of the fuel feed pump is limited by structural provisions.
Abstract:
A fuel supply system with two series-connected pumps and fuel injection valves that inject fuel directly into a combustion chamber of an engine. The system includes a relief device. In a simple embodiment, the relief device can assure that the pressure in the pressure line can drop when the engine has been shutoff. The relief line may, however, also be embodied such that during the entire time of engine operation, the pressure in the pressure line can be lowered at any time as needed. The apparatus and the method are intended for an internal combustion engine of a vehicle.
Abstract:
A piston pump for pumping fuel in which a risk of fuel getting into the area of a shaft seal is limited. The fuel pump includes a separation chamber which is provided between a shaft seal and a fuel chamber that contains fuel. Located in the separation chamber is for instance air as a separator means, and the separation chamber communicates with an air inlet of the engine. This assures that fuel cannot get into the area of the shaft seal or escape to the outside. The fuel pump is suitable in particular for internal combustion engines in which the fuel must be delivered at high pressure.
Abstract:
Fuel injection device for spark-ignition internal combustion engines having a pump and a distributor with a reversing valve, which distributor is preferably driven at pump speed and has a stationary and a rotating part. The reversing valve is arranged inside the rotating part of the distributor, preferably concentrically, and its inlet opening is connected with the pump work space via a line which likewise extends exclusively inside the rotating part of the distributor.
