  • Patent number: 7921648
    Abstract: An exhaust gas turbocharger internal combustion engine is disclosed including at least one cylinder in a fuel-air mixture is pre-compressed by a compressor and compressed and burned. Exhaust gas is evacuated from the cylinder and released in a turbine, wherein part of the evacuated exhaust gas is recirculated before being released in the turbine, via a high-pressure recirculation system including an exhaust gas cooling device including at least two cooling circuits guided through heat exchanging blocks successively connected in the flow direction of the exhaust gas. The heat exchanging block arranged furthest downstream in the flow direction of the exhaust gas is vertically arranged such that exhaust gas passes through the block parallel to the working line, wherein a condensate collection and/or evacuation device is provided on the lower end of the block.

  • Publication number: 20080190108
    Abstract: The invention relates to an exhaust gas turbocharger internal combustion engine comprising at least one cylinder in which a fuel-air mixture which is pre-compressed by means of a compressor (10) is compressed and burned. Exhaust gas is created, that is evacuated from the cylinder and released in a turbine (19). Part of the exhaust gas evacuated from the cylinder is recirculated, before it is released in the turbine (19), via a high-pressure recirculation system provided with an exhaust gas cooling device comprising at least two cooling circuits that are guided through heat exchanging blocks (26,27) that are successively connected in the flow direction of the exhaust gas. The air of the invention is to create an exhaust gas turbocharger internal combustion engine that can be economically produced and has a high output.

  • Publication number: 20070125527
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for multi-stage heat exchange and to a method for producing one such device, whereby at least three free-flowing media (fluids) are used in three flow devices subdivided into at least two heat-exchanging or flow modules. Said modules respectively consist of at least two flow elements that are arranged in such a way that different fluids alternately flow through the same. For essentially liquid fluids, the fluids are distributed to the flow elements by means of fluid collecting devices or fluid distributing devices connected in a gas-tight and liquid-tight manner. The main flow directions of all fluids in the flow elements are in essentially parallel planes. At least two flow modules are directly mounted in series and/or by means of fluid distributing devices in a flow-connected manner at least in relation to one flow device.

  • Patent number: 5215044
    Abstract: A cooling system for a vehicle having an internal-combustion engine has a plurality of cooling circuits with heat exchangers for each circuit. The temperatures of different cooling media are measured and processed in a switching device to form an output signal which serves to control a fan. In this way, the air flow through the heat exchangers can be varied depending on measured temperature conditions. Individual capacity control of each cooling circuit is possible, thereby preventing unfavorable operating conditions in the individual circuits. The cooling capacity demand of the individual cooling circuits is determined by a central control unit which receives signals from temperature sensors in each circuit. The central control unit includes a microprocessor. Each cooling circuit has an actuating means for individually controlling the capacity of the relevant heat exchanger.
