Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling the oil pressure of an oil pump (40, 140) in a combustion engine (100). The combustion engine (100) comprises a crankcase (11) and a separator (14, 114) for separating oil present in a blow-by gas from the crankcase (11). The method comprises the step (201) of providing oil pressure demand for a set of different engine operation conditions, the oil pressure demand defining the theoretical required oil pressure of the oil pump (40, 140); the step (203) of controlling the oil pressure of the oil pump (40, 140) based on the oil pressure demand for at least one engine operation condition in the set of different engine operation conditions; the step (205) of driving the separator (14, 114) using oil from the oil pump (40, 140), the oil being pressurized based on the oil pressure demand.

Abstract: A piston and internal combustion engine therewith constructed in accordance with the present invention has a piston body with an upper crown having a substantially cylindrical outer surface depending from a top surface along a central axis. At least one annular ring groove extends radially into the outer surface to provide a top land extending from the ring groove to the top surface. A plurality of waves are formed circumferentially about the top land. Each of the waves has a valley extending radially into the outer surface of the top land and extending from the top surface to the ring groove. The waves traverse from the top surface to the ring groove and are configured in substantially non-overlapping relation with one another and in a predetermined orientation relative to at least one of a fuel spray stream, a pin bore axis or a thrust axis of the piston.

Abstract: In a multipart cooled piston (20) for a combustion engine with a piston upper part (1) of steel comprising a combustion bowl (3) and a ring wall (4) with ring belt (11), and with a piston lower part (2) comprising a piston skirt (9), pin bosses (12) for receiving the piston pin connecting the piston (20) to the connecting rod, and pin boss supports (6) connected to the piston skirt (9), and in a method for manufacture of such a piston (20), inexpensive manufacture and good form stability are to be achieved in that a cooling channel (7) formed inside the piston upper part (1) has forged supporting ribs (8) in its area extending to the combustion bowl (3), which each form sections of an all-round ring rib (5) with a connection surface radially to the longitudinal piston axis (K), in that the piston lower part (2) has an annular and all-round carrier rib (10) with a connection surface connected to the pin boss supports (6), and in that the piston upper part (1) and the piston lower part (2) are non-detachably co
