Abstract: An improved internal combustion and waste hat steam engine having an heat recovery steam generator optimized for the steam cycle, that can operate on steam, fuel, or a water-fuel composition where the mixture is at a critical temperature and in a homogeneous single phase. The condensing waste heat recovery steam generator exhaust manifold is close-coupled to the engine cylinder exhaust ports and provides heat to create the homogeneous mixture and steam. The primary heat source is internal combustion. An external heat source may be coupled with the engine to increase the heat available to the condensing waste water recovery steam generator exhaust manifold to produce additional steam. The engine can be operated as a pure diesel engine, for warm-up or for when an external source of steam is desired.

Abstract: A portable, on-demand hydrogen generation system is provided for producing hydrogen and injecting the hydrogen as a fuel supplement into the air intake of internal combustion engines, more particularly to vehicles. Hydrogen and oxygen is produced with a fuel cell at low temperatures and pressure from water in a supply tank. The hydrogen and oxygen is passed back thru the supply tank for distribution and water preservation. The gases are kept separate by a divider in the tank and the water level in the tank. In the case of gasoline engines, the hydrogen is directed to the air intake of the engine while the oxygen is vented to the atmosphere. The device is optionally powered by the vehicle battery, a stand alone battery, waste heat of the internal combustion engine or solar energy. The system utilizes a vacuum switch or other engine sensor that permits power to the device and therefore hydrogen production only when the engine is in operation. Therefore, as the hydrogen is produced it is immediately consumed by the engine. No hydrogen is stored on, in or around the vehicle.

Abstract: In a turbocharged diesel engine, the charge air is cooled in a charge air cooler designed as an injection intercooler. The water which has been introduced into the working medium of the diesel engine in the charge air cooler, after the working medium has been expanded, is condensed out of the exhaust gas by means of a condenser and a separator and is returned to the charge air cooler. According to the invention, the engine is started without injection of externally supplied water into the charge air cooler. Water which forms during the combustion in the diesel engine is condensed out of the exhaust-gas stream and returned to the charge air cooler. Additional water vapor formed continuously during operation through combustion of diesel fuel is likewise condensed out and introduced into the charge air cooler. In this way, the working medium is laden with moisture until the water mass flow that can be separated out of the exhaust gas is sufficient for the set cooling power of the charge air cooler. Further combustion water that is formed can be used for other purposes. In this way, engines with internal combustion in which water is introduced into the working medium can be operated without an external supply of water.

Abstract: A fuel injection system with an injector for an internal combustion engine has a binary injection nozzle whose pressure chamber can be alternatingly supplied with fuel and a supplemental fluid. A valve device is provided which can control the high-pressure side fuel delivery to the binary injection nozzle and the connection of the pressure chamber to a low-pressure side and to a supply line of the supplemental fluid. The valve device has a reversing valve that is embodied for controlling the impingement of high or low pressure on the pressure chamber and is also embodied for controlling the filling of the pressure chamber with the supplemental fluid. Therefore, the valve device is improved with regard to more rapid and precise switching operations and is also simplified, resulting in greater reliability and reduced maintenance.
