Abstract:
A valve seat for the inlet valve in the cylinder head of a fourcycle internal combustion engine in which the valve seat is provided with a sharp edge projecting into the combustion space in the axial direction of the inlet valve as a detaching step surrounding the valve disk of the inlet valve for any fuel components precipitated along the walls of the inlet channel.
Abstract:
A valve adapted for use with an internal combustion engine comprising a body having a passage therethrough and a valve element including a valve head and a valve stem. The valve element is mounted for movement on the body so that the valve head can open and close the passage. The valve stem projects through a bore in the body and has an insurance member mounted thereon which is engageable with an abutment to limit the maximum amount of opening of the valve. A peripheral wall substantially circumscribes the insurance member when the latter engages the abutment to prevent removal of the insurance member. The valve is biased toward a closed position by a spring which extends between the body and a valve spring retainer. The valve spring retainer is mounted on the valve stem by a split ring which is received in a counterbore in the valve spring retainer.
Abstract:
Several embodiments showing collector arrangements disposed about exhaust valves in the cylinder head of internal combustion engines for collecting at least part of the unburned hydrocarbons from the engine exhaust. Fluidic deflection control ports are included in some embodiments to provide directional control over the flow of exhaust gases and cooling of the valves.
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a metallic component including the steps of providing a capsule, which defines at least a portion of the shape of the metallic component, arranging metallic material in the capsule, sealing the capsule, subjecting the capsule to Hot Isostatic Pressing for a predetermined time, at a predetermined pressure and at a predetermined temperature, and optionally, removing the capsule. The metallic material is at least one pre-manufactured coherent body, which pre-manufactured coherent body being made of metallic powder, wherein at least a portion of the metallic powder is consolidated such that the metallic powder is held together into a pre-manufactured coherent body. At least one portion of the pre-manufactured coherent body is manufactured by Additive Manufacturing by subsequently arranging superimposed layers of metallic powder.
Abstract:
A valve seat insert of an engine has a valve seating surface including an outer curved segment forming a first wear crown for contacting the valve at an early wear state, an inner curved segment forming a second wear crown for contacting the valve at a later wear state, and a linear segment extending between the outer and the inner curved segments.
Abstract:
A valve arrangement for supplying air to an internal combustion engine includes a first valve and a second valve arranged within the first valve. A valve guide for use in a valve arrangement is also provided.
