Abstract: A sterilizing apparatus for packaging containers is equipped with a closable preparation apparatus for a mixture of hot air and sterilizing agent vapor and a sterilizing chamber, into which containers to be sterilized are introduced. The closure means for the sterilizing chamber includes means for suspending a container to be sterilized within the sterilizing chamber. In order to realize a reduced use of sterilizing agent and heating energy, the apparatus has a circulatory system of mixture supply. The sterilizing chamber, as well as a bypass parallel to it, forms a part of this circulatory system. The bypass and the sterilizing chamber are alternately connected with the circulatory system by means of a reversing valve during nonsterilizing and sterilizing periods. A circulating blower, an air heater, and a preparation apparatus are also part of the circulatory system.

Abstract: A pressure control valve with an impact plate which serves as a regulator for a specific drop in pressure. The pressure control valve includes an armature disposed in an electromagnetic field established by an electromagnetic coil and a permanent magnetic field, with the armature being rotatably supported between two respective pole shoes located on each side of the armature. The pole shoes located on one side of the armature, in contrast to the pole shoes located on the other side, have an opposing magnetic polarity induced by the permanent magnet. The pole shoes which are not aligned opposite one another on armature 85, are approached by armature 85 with movement of the impact plate toward a valve seat, and causes an increase in the air gap planes facing the armature, as compared to the other two pole shoes, and thereby establishes a non-linear characteristic for the pressure control valve.

The screw shaft makes many rotations when the piston under fluid pressure slightly advances axially inside the cylinder.

Abstract: An electronically controlled fuel metering system for an internal combustion engine is proposed which includes devices for damping engine jerking. The following signals are formed: ti (k) as the up-to-date load value; tiM as the up-to-date averaged load value; ti (k-1)+.DELTA.ti/2 as a special load value for use in a transition into overrunning; and tiM+.DELTA.tiM/2 for the purpose of successive approximation of the average value to up-to-date load values in the case of slow acceleration processes and flat courses of load reduction. A computer-controlled realization is possible for forming and selecting the individual values.

Abstract: A speed governor of a fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines is proposed, having a governor lever for adjusting the fuel injection quantity and a governor spring assembly engaging the governor lever counter to which assembly an rpm-dependent force acts. To compensate for manufacturing tolerances in the governor spring assembly, it is proposed that the effective length of a prestressed governor spring in the governor spring assembly be effected by means of the rotation of a spring plate, in that the spring plate has a sleeve provided with an outer thread, onto which part the governor spring can be threaded. After the rotation of the spring plate, this plate is held in its terminal position, under the influence of the initial stressing force of the governor spring, in a positively engaged connection with intermeshed components which limit the relieving of the governor spring assembly in the other direction.

Abstract: A control apparatus for internal combustion engines, which generates an adjustment path on the path of an adjustment member which is proportional to the air mass supplied to the engine. The control apparatus contains a counterpart pressure chamber sealed off from the outside and separated in a pressure-tight manner by an adjustment diaphragm from a first pressure chamber exposed to induced air pressure. A pressure source generating a reference absolute pressure which is constant under all operating conditions is connected to the counterpart pressure chamber. Consequently, the apparatus performs the function of a charge pressure stop equipped with a diaphragm box. The air reservoir of an air pressure brake system, a reservoir charged with the exhaust gas counterpressure or charge air pressure, or a vacuum pump can serve as the pressure source, and an absolute pressure controller controls the reference absolute pressure prevailing in the counterpart pressure chamber.

Abstract: A heating device for use in motor vehicles to rapidly heat combustion chambers, exhaust gas sensors, catalyzers and other associated apparatus. A resistive heating element is connected in series with a low-impedance measuring resistor and a switch across a power source, while a resistance bridge is formed with the aid of two further resistors. The diagonal bridge voltages are compared in a comparator whose output actuates a control circuit which operates the heater switch. The heater switch also provides the power for the comparator. In a first interval, constant current is applied to the heating element, while the current is pulsed during a second time interval. The switch control pulses may be provided by a free-running oscillator or one whose pulses are synchronized with the undulations of the engine starter current.

The fuel injection valve includes a valve housing, a shell core having a magnetic coil and a flat armature, which is positively connected to a valve element comprising a ball which protrudes through a central opening in a guide diaphragm to cooperate with a fixed valve seat. The guide diaphragm guides the ball in the radial direction relative to the valve seat. Under spring tension, the flat armature, having a guide crown, contacts the guide diaphragm and is thus guided in a plane parallel to the end face of the shell core. A first fuel fitting comprises a portion of a valve housing preshaped by a non-cutting manufacturing method; a second fuel fitting is fixed inside the first fuel fitting in such a manner that a flow conduit is defined between the first and the second fuel fittings.
