Abstract:
A heavy duty diesel piston includes upper and lower portions (102, 104) joined across a friction weld and internally contoured to provide a dual gallery structure including an outer annular gallery (122) and a central gallery (120) joined by passages for communicating cooling oil therebetween. The dual-gallery structure allows oil to enter from the outer gallery (122), which is formed by the circumferential annular recess (101) in the crown and crown bottom, into the central gallery (120) to cool the piston and particularly the central crown region exposed to hot combustion gases. The friction weld provides high structural integrity and minimizes the number of manufacturing steps need to attach the crown to the crown bottom.

The engine operates on an unsymmetrical expansion and compression cycle wherein the expansion portion of the cycle is greater than the compression portion of the cycle. The piston and cylinder head are lined with an insulating material having a selected thermal diffusivity. Apparatus is provided for injecting a supercritical mixture of fuel and water into the cylinder of the engine. The combination of these aspects results in a highly efficient engine.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a guide arrangement, especially for a piston-cylinder arrangement, comprising a cylinder (3) in which a bearing section of a piston (2) can be displaced axially along its inner bore (5) configured as a piston bearing surface (6) and a piston (2) to which a connecting rod can be coupled by means of a pin. At least two cylindrical and peripheral bearing sections (9a, 10a) radially delimiting the piston (2) and serving as support on the bearing surface (6) of the cylinder (3) are releasably arranged on said piston (2) by means of two parts (7, 8) of the piston (2), at least one of which penetrates a central opening of the bearing sections (9a, 10a). The forces and torques are evenly distributed on the at least two bearing sections in the axial extension of the piston (2) in such a way that the bearing sections are arranged outside the axle of the pin and at least one section (9a) of the at least two bearing sections (9a, 10a) is completely arranged on one side of the axle of the pin (20) and at least the other section (10a) of the at least two bearing sections (9a, 10a) is completely arranged on the other side of the axle of the pin (20). In addition, the bearing sections (9a, 10a) are fixed at a fixed reciprocal axial distance (11) in relation to each other. Force is transmitted from the pin to the bearing sections (9a, 10a) exclusively through the central parts (7, 8) of the piston (2). A favorable tribologic pairing is achieved in that one of the materials of the pairing bearing section (9a, 10a) guide surface (6) is chosen from the group comprising polycrystalline diamond, amorphous hydrocarbon, tetragonally coordinated hydrocarbon and metal-containing hydrocarbon and in that the other material of the pairing is selected from the group comprising mesophase graphite and ultrafine grain graphite.

Abstract:
In a piston-cylinder assembly of an internal combustion engine, especially a two-stroke engine, at least the piston-sliding surface of the cylinder is made of an aluminium alloy. Moreover, the basic material of the piston (1) is an alluminium alloy and at least 80 % of its sliding surface is given a sliding coating (3, 4). The sliding coating (3, 4) on the piston (1) is usually metallic and galvanically applied. The aim is to provide an economically producible piston coating with properties at least as good as those of the former galvanically applied coatings. To this end the cylinder sliding surface has a roughness Ra of less than 1 mu m, while the piston sliding surface consist of resin-bound graphite. The piston rings (6) are made of cast iron or steel and have a convex sliding surface.
Abstract:
The design and construction of past piston assemblies having a wrist pin bolted to a connecting rod have excessive weight and structural components, and requires more complex machining techniques and tooling. The present invention overcomes these problems by providing a piston assembly (30) with a wrist pin (36) attached to a piston member (32). Thus, the length of the leg members (80) are short and do not require a portion surrounding the wrist pin (36). The results being reduced piston member (32) and piston assembly (30) weight and lower inertia, a simplified forging or casting process, a more easily machinable cavity (86) within the piston member (32) and a higher quality piston assembly (30).
