Abstract:
The invention relates to an exhaust gas recirculation apparatus (5) for an internal combustion engine (1), in particular in a motor vehicle, having an exhaust gas recirculation line (9) which can be connected at the inlet end to an exhaust gas system (4) of the internal combustion engine (1) and at the outlet end to a fresh gas system (3) of the internal combustion engine (1) and having a return valve (12) arranged in the exhaust gas recirculation line (9) for adjusting an exhaust gas recirculation rate by varying the flow-through cross section of the exhaust gas recirculation line (9). To improve the efficacy of the exhaust gas recirculation, the exhaust gas recirculation valve (12) is designed so that it adjusts the respective exhaust gas recirculation rate at least in one operating state of the exhaust gas recirculation apparatus (5), so that it alternately reduces and increases and/or blocks and opens the flow-through cross section of the exhaust gas recirculation line (9) at predetermined or regulated switching points in time.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a two-piece piston (1) for an internal combustion engine, comprising a piston upper piece (2) and a piston lower piece (2). A cylindrical moulding (24) is arranged on the underside of the piston upper piece (2), facing away from the piston crown, lying coaxial to the piston axis (15), with two radial outward-facing hooked projections (27) on the end thereof facing away from the piston crown. The piston lower piece (6) has an opening (16) on the piston crown side, in which the cylindrical moulding (24) with the projections (27) is introduced and rotated on assembly of the piston upper piece (2) on the piston lower piece (6), such that the projections (27) engage behind the edge of the opening (16).
Abstract:
A mixing device for mixing the exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine flowing in an exhaust pipe with a reducing agent as well as an exhaust gas purification system having such a mixing device, in which a mixing body is positionable in the exhaust pipe and which includes a gas impact surface and a spray impact surface so that exhaust gas flowing from the internal combustion engine is able to strike the gas impact surface and reducing agent, which is suppliable transversely to the exhaust gas flow, is able to strike the spray impact surface, the spray impact surface and the gas impact surface forming disjointed sub-areas of the surface of the mixing body. The mixing device distributes the reducing agent uniformly over the cross section of the exhaust pipe and mixes it uniformly with the exhaust gas.
Abstract:
A device and a method for controlling an exhaust-gas aftertreatment system, for example, for an internal combustion engine, are provided. The exhaust-gas aftertreatment system includes at least one catalytic converter. A reducing agent is supplied to the exhaust-gas aftertreatment system. An exhaust gas mass flow is preselectable on the basis of the power consumption by a sensor and/or on the basis of a pressure variable.
Abstract:
A fuel injection system includes a pressure booster having a displaceable piston which can be subjected to pressure via a pressure booster chamber on the low-pressure side for compressing the fuel in a pressure booster chamber on the high-pressure side to be delivered to an injector. The stroke of the piston is controllable by the pressure in a differential chamber of the pressure booster and is used to vary the fuel pressure delivered to the injector. Means for continuously variable definition of the inlet cross section to the pressure booster chamber of the pressure booster on the low-pressure side or of the outlet cross section from the differential chamber of the pressure booster are provided.
Abstract:
An apparatus for post-treating exhaust gases of an internal combustion engine, in particular a Diesel engine, having a reduction catalytic converter serving to reduce NOx ingredients of the exhaust gases, to which reduction catalytic converter an exhaust pipe leads, and having a reducing agent supply device and a device that generates a pressure difference in the exhaust gas. In the apparatus, the supply of reducing agent is effected via a bypass line, which carries a portion of the exhaust gases past the device that generates the pressure difference in the exhaust gas. The apparatus can use either ammonia or a water and urea solution, or hydrocarbons of the fuel as well as CO as a reducing agent.
Abstract:
A method for injecting fuel at at least two different high fuel pressures via injectors into the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine. The fuel injection at the higher fuel pressure takes place by pressure-controlled features, during the fuel injection, at least one lower fuel pressure is generated. To that end, a fuel injection system has one local diversion unit for each injector, and the diversion unit can be activated or deactivated via a valve unit.
Abstract:
In a fuel injection system for an internal combustion engine, having at least two different, high system pressures, in which a first pressure reservoir, supplied by a high-pressure pump, is provided for the higher system pressure, and a second pressure reservoir is provided for the lower system pressure, and at least the first pressure reservoir can be made to communicate by line for a fuel injection with the injectors of the individual cylinders of the engine, the pressure level of the high-pressure pump is greater than the higher system pressure, and the first pressure reservoir has an overpressure valve leading to the second pressure reservoir, and the second pressure reservoir has an overpressure valve leading to the fuel tank.
Abstract:
A fuel injection system includes a pressure storage chamber and one injector assigned to each cylinder, which injector can be connected to the pressure storage chamber via a pressure line that includes a metering valve. Using a single 2/2-way valve as a metering valve per cylinder makes for a more-economical manufacture of a fuel system, especially for small engines. The fuel injection is done under pressure control.
Abstract:
In a fuel injection system for an internal combustion engine, in which fuel can be injected at least two different, high fuel pressures, via injectors, into the combustion chamber of the engine, having a central first pressure reservoir for the higher fuel pressure and a central second pressure reservoir, supplied from the first pressure reservoir, in which by regulation of its fuel delivery, the lower fuel pressure is maintained, and having a valve unit for switchover between the higher and the lower fuel, the valve unit for switchover between the higher and the lower fuel is provided locally for each injector. With this injection system, improved metering of the lower fuel pressure is possible.
