  • Patent number: 10634080
    Abstract: A method of operating an arrangement includes using a rotating drive machine, wherein a value characteristic of a change of a power output of the arrangement is provided by measuring at least one parameter and/or calculation. The rotating drive machine is open and/or closed loop controlled depending on the value characteristic of the change of the power output of the arrangement and/or a load of the rotating drive machine is changed depending on the value characteristic of the change of the power output of the arrangement, such that the change of the power output of the arrangement is substantially compensated.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9850807
    Abstract: An internal combustion engine including a pre-chamber connected to a pre-chamber feed conduit for supplying the pre-chamber with a fuel (F), and a main combustion chamber. Fuel (F) in the main combustion chamber can be ignited by an ignition flare which passes from the at least one pre-chamber into the at least one main combustion chamber and which is produced by ignition of fuel (F) in the pre-chamber. At least one valve can be open-loop or closed-loop controlled by an open-loop or closed-loop control device depending on a parameter characteristic of a change in a power produced by the internal combustion engine, and/or by which a pre-chamber fuel flow directed through the pre-chamber feed conduit to the at least one pre-chamber can be at least partially diverted into a volume separate from the at least one pre-chamber.
