Abstract: A device for exhaust-gas purification utilizes reduction of nitrogen oxides which are present in the exhaust gas from internal combustion engines by way of gaseous ammonia with an SCR catalytic converter. The functions of the device are monitored with regard to their line paths with connections, valves and sensors by referring to these elements themselves using suitable control circuitry via the evaluation and control unit.

Abstract: In a fuel injection system for an internal combustion engine with a high pressure pump for supplying pressurized fuel to fuel injection valves and a multi-way valve disposed in the high pressure fuel line to the fuel injector for controlling the fuel flow to the injector, the multi-way valve is a spool valve which includes an actuator for positioning the spool to provide selectively a flow connection between the high pressure pump and the injection valve or between the injection valve and a fuel return line and which further includes an inflow throttle structure forming a pressure control device. A pressure sensor is arranged between the spool valve and the fuel injector and supplies the sensed pressure value to a controller which compares the value with predetermined set values and provides a correction value to the multi-way valve actuator for the correction of the pressure of the fuel supplied to the fuel injection valve.

Abstract: A device serves for filtering a fluid contaminated with particles, in particular an exhaust gas transporting particulate matter from an engine. The device is provided with an outer container and at least one filter device of a porous material. The porous material of each of the at least one filter devices has a number of folds extending in the direction of flow. Furthermore, the porous material has in its cross section a closed geometrical form with at least one inner opening.

Abstract: A fuel injection system for an internal combustion engine with a reservoir for pressurised fuel and at least one fuel injector which has a solenoid activated valve to control fuel pressure therein, and including a control piston linked to the injector's valving member and defining a control space communicated with the injector's fuel, and further including a pressure regulating valve assembly with another solenoid activated valve operated independently of the injector's solenoid valve and which is located between the reservoir and the fuel injector for selectively creating different flow control configurations to regulate fuel pressure delivered to the injector. The two solenoid activated devices providing an injector control for providing flexible opening operation of the injector at more than one fuel pressure level.

Abstract: A control for an injection system of a multicylinder internal combustion engine has a high pressure pump connected to a distributor element provided with outlet openings from which branch lines lead separately to groups of injection valves. The distributor element has first and second spring biased pistons that are operable to block selectively fuel to the branch lines, each of the pistons having a throttle point situated therein. When a major leak develops downstream from the distributor element, the branch line in which the leak has occurred is automatically shut off by the associated piston in the distributor element, due to the imbalance in pressure which results. When a minor leak develops, one of the branch lines is automatically closed by a control unit shutting off the injection valves associated with the other branch line, while the high pressure pump continues to deliver for at least one operating cycle.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for operating an internal combustion engine, in particular a motor-vehicle diesel engine, with low nitrogen-oxide emissions, has a first mode of operation which sets an early start of fuel injection and a nitrogen-oxide reducing agent is added to the stream of exhaust gases upstream of a nitrogen-oxide-reducing exhaust-gas catalytic converter, and a second mode of operation which sets a late start of fuel injection. A temperature sensor measures the temperature of the exhaust-gas catalytic converter. The engine is operated in the second mode of operation when the measured temperature of the exhaust-gas catalytic converter lies outside a prescribable temperature range for an effective catalytic nitrogen-oxide reduction to ensure low nitrogen-oxide emissions.

Abstract: A low pressure fuel circulation with fuel preheating for an air-compressing injection-type internal combustion engine, preferably for commercial vehicles, in which a heat-exchanger and a by-pass by-passing the fine filter and having an excess pressure valve opening in dependence on a predetermined maximum pressure acting on the fine filter as a result of paraffin formation is arranged in an inlet line leading to a high pressure injection pump.
