  • Patent number: 10174734
    Abstract: A suspension mount for fuel-injection systems is used to connect a fuel injector to a fuel distributor. A connecting body having an accommodation space is provided, a fuel connector of the fuel injector being able to be disposed at least partially in the accommodation space. In addition, a joining body is provided that is disposed, at least in sections, partially in at least one recess of the connecting body, the recess being connected to the accommodation space, and on which the fuel connector is able to be supported along a longitudinal axis of the accommodation space. The joining body also has an elastically deformable element, the elastically deformable element being disposed in such a way that the joining body permits elastic support of the fuel connector on the connecting body at least along the longitudinal axis. A fuel-injection system having such a suspension mount is also indicated.

  • Patent number: 9957937
    Abstract: A suspension for fuel injection systems is used for connecting a fuel injector to a fuel-carrying component. A connecting body having a receiving space is provided for this purpose. The connecting body has an opening, via which a fuel fitting of the fuel injector is insertible at least partially into the receiving space of the connecting body. Furthermore, an annular element and an elastically deformable element are provided. Fuel fitting is supported via the annular element and the elastically deformable element along an axis of the receiving space of the connecting body. A fuel injection system having such a suspension is also indicated. The suspension allows for a soft coupling of the fuel injector to the fuel-carrying component at a desired target stiffness.

  • Patent number: 5141525
    Abstract: High-octane, low-olefin motor fuels and motor fuel components having a content of alkyl tert.-alkyl ethers can be produced by reacting a crude hydrocarbon stream, which contains tertiary C.sub.5 -C.sub.8 -olefins in addition to saturated and olefinically, diolefinically and acetylenically unsaturated hydrocarbons in the same boiling range, simultaneously with one or more C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkanols in a quantity from 0.5 to 5 mol per mol of the tertiary olefin(s) and with excess hydrogen relative to the total unsaturation under a pressure from 12 to 80 bar and at a temperature from 60.degree. to 180.degree. C. on a catalyst known per se or a mixture of catalysts known per se, which effect(s) both the etherification and the olefin hydrogenation.

  • Patent number: 5095164
    Abstract: Alkyl tert.-alkyl ethers can be cleaved into the underlying alkanols and tert.-olefins in the presence of strongly acidic substances in a column apparatus, the strongly acidic substance being made available at the foot of the column. A particularly advantageous process design results when a water stream is fed below the top column tray in countercurrent to the tert.-olefin flowing upwards and is taken off again from the column above the bottom circulation; in the case of using an insoluble, strongly acidic substance, the latter is located in a catalyst bed at the foot of the column, and the alkyl tert.-alkyl ether is preferably fed in between the catalyst bed and the bottom circulation evaporator.

  • Patent number: 5008466
    Abstract: Alkenes having a terminal double bond can be isomerized to give alkenes having an internal double bond if alkenes having a terminal double bond or hydrocarbon feedstock having a content of alkenes of this type having a terminal double bond are subjected to treatment, in the presence of hydrogen, over a macroporous or gel-like cation exchanger in the H.sup.+ form which contains 0.001 to 10 g of one or more metals of the VIth and/or VIIth and/or VIIIth sub-group of the periodic system of the elements in elementary form per liter of dry cation exchanger and which has a degree of crosslinking of 2 to 65% and a specific surface area of 5 to 750 m.sup.2 /g of dry exchange resin. The treatment is carried out in the liquid phase at a temperature from 0.degree. to 120.degree. C.

  • Patent number: 4960961
    Abstract: Tert.-Amyl alcohol (TAA) can be prepared in an advantageous manner by hydrating of i-amylenes on an acid cation exchanger by carrying out the reaction in the vicinity of the boiling point of the i-amylenes under the appropriate reaction pressure.
