Abstract: A fluid interaction device for establishing an interaction with a fluid, particularly a brake fluid or a fuel fluid. A housing member accommodates a fluid interaction portion. The fluid interaction portion is adapted to interact with a fluid within the housing member. The housing member further comprises a connection portion which can be connected to a fluid supply element. The connection portion is formed as a weldable, tubular end portion so that the housing member can be connected to a joining portion of the fluid supply element by means of a welded joint.

Abstract: A multilayer tube for guiding fuel fluid or brake fluid. The multilayer tube comprises an outer protection layer, a barrier layer radially within the outer protection layer, an intermediate layer radially within the barrier layer, and an inner layer radially within the intermediate layer. At least two of the layers are co-extruded layers. Each of the barrier layer and the inner layer comprises a partially aromatic polyamide.

Abstract: An actuator comprising a drive, at least one rotatable threaded element and at least one output element driven in translation thereby is described, characterized in that the threaded element has at least two regions of differing pitch and a rotational axis of the threaded element is inclined relative to a translational axis of the output element.

Abstract: The invention relates to an exhaust gas cooler for an exhaust gas recirculation system, in particular of a motor vehicle, said exhaust gas recirculation system having a total cooling power (PG) and a total pressure loss coefficient (DG). The exhaust gas cooler comprises: at least one cooling portion (20, 20?) which has at least one cooling duct (22, 22?) and at least one additional duct (24, 24?); at least one bypass which bypasses at least one of the cooling portions (20, 20?); and an exhaust gas routing device (40) which has at least one closing member (42); wherein the cooling duct (22, 22?) has a first cooling power (P1) and a first pressure loss coefficient (D1), and the additional duct (24, 24?) has a second cooling power (P2) and a second pressure loss coefficient (D2). The first cooling power (P1) is greater than the second cooling power (P2), and/or the first pressure loss coefficient (D1) is greater than the second pressure loss coefficient (D2).

Abstract: An actuator for a lever that is connected, with a valve or a wastegate or a variable turbine geometry of an exhaust gas turbocharger. The actuator includes a connecting rod between a drive and the lever. The connecting rod is rotatably supported at a location some distance from the lever. The connecting rod is further guided between the support and the lever on a circular arc.

Abstract: An exhaust gas recirculation system having at least one cooler with a housing and at least one valve with a pivotably actuated valve member on an inlet side is characterized in that an actuator for the valve is mounted to the housing of the cooler, which is connected to the valve via at least one lever and at least one connection member such as a coupling rod, a ball-and-socket joint being provided between at least one lever and at least one connection member such as a coupling rod.

Abstract: An exhaust gas recirculation valve comprises a drive, at least one rotatable drive element and at least one translationally drivable driven element. The drive element comprises a thread element that is configured to convert rotational motion of the drive element into translation of the driven element. A rotational axis of the drive element is inclined with respect to a translational axis of the driven element.

Abstract: An actuator has a rotary drive and a threaded element for converting the rotary motion of the rotary drive into a reciprocating motion of a tappet connected to a hinged wastegate and/or to a variable turbine geometry device of an exhaust gas turbocharger. The tappet and/or an axle between the tappet and the threaded element is received in at least one guide comprising at least one web and allowing for at least a slight tilting or pivoting movement of the tappet in at least one direction. At least some play is present between the web and at least one broadened portion on the tappet and/or on the axle. Methods of actuating a wastegate and/or a variable turbine geometry device.

Abstract: An exhaust-gas recirculation (EGR) valve (10) comprises a valve opening (14), a valve member (16) that can be moved between a position which closes the valve opening (14) and a position which releases the valve opening (14), and further comprises a flow-guidance member (24), wherein the valve member (16), in the position that releases the valve opening (14), is disposed at least in part behind said flow-guidance member (24), when viewed from the central flow axis.

Abstract: A valve in the region of an internal combustion engine comprises a conduit (12) for the guidance of a medium, which conduit (12) has a wall, and the valve further comprises a valve member (20) which, in its closed state, is positioned within the conduit (12) and which, at least in its completely opened state, is in alignment at least to a large extent with the adjacent wall of the conduit (12) or is positioned outside same and which helps to guide the medium.
