Abstract:
A tank bleeder valve for the metered admixture of volatilized fuel to the fuel-air mixture of an internal combustion engine has a valve housing with inflow and outflow necks, between which an electromagnetically actuatable seat valve is disposed. The inflow neck communicates with the vent neck of a fuel tank, and the outflow neck communicates with the engine intake manifold. To prevent dieseling of the engine after the ignition is switched off, the seat valve is embodied such that it is very tightly closed when there is no current. To this end, the valve opening of the seat valve is embodied as an annular gap, coaxially surrounded on the inside and outside by a valve seat in the form of an annular double seat. The valve element of the seat valve is embodied as an annular disk of magnetically conductive material, which is loaded with a closing force acting in the closing direction of the seat valve. The annular disk simultaneously acts as the armature of the electromagnet.
Abstract:
The engine is controlled by sensing fuel pedal position, indicative of desire engine power. A characteristic transmission data field is used to select the appropriate gear or gear ratio. The engine is controlled on the basis of characteristic engine data or on the basis of an engine operating curve associated with minimum fuel consumption in dependence of the changes in engine speed due to the changing transmission ratio. In normal driving, the apparatus selects operation along the minimum fuel curve whereas during periods of increased power demand, the apparatus operates in dependence of characteristic engine data. Also proposed is apparatus which takes account of the operational vehicle status and effects the switchover from optimum fuel consumption to optimum power delivery with priority assigned to optimum fuel economy.
Abstract:
An improved wheel lock prevention device for use in the brake system of motor vehicles. The device has a relay valve included in assembly with a motor vehicle operator controlled brake velve, a wheel brake cylinder and a source of pressurized air. The relay valve has a primary and secondary pressure side. The primary pressure side is connected to the brake valve and the secondary side is connected to the wheel brake cylinder. A short circuit connection between the primary and secondary pressure sides is provided with a control for effecting a balancing of the pressures on both the primary and secondary pressure sides after the pressure on both sides has been reduced from a peak value by a desired extent during application of the brake system.
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.
