  • Method for operating a reciprocating internal combustion engine
    Patent number: 11378020
    Abstract: A method for operating a reciprocating internal combustion engine in an engine braking mode includes, in a working cycle of the engine braking mode, a first outlet valve of a first cylinder is closed for a first time, then opened for a first time, and subsequently closed for a second time, and then opened for a second time, in order to thereby discharge gas that has been compressed in the first cylinder from the first cylinder by a cylinder piston. The outlet valve is held open after the first opening and prior to the second closing long enough for the cylinder to be filled with gas that flows out of a second cylinder via at least one outlet channel, where when the engine braking mode is activated, at least one camshaft for activating at least one gas exchange valve of the reciprocating internal combustion engine is adjusted.

  • Arrangement for converting thermal energy from lost heat of an internal combustion engine
    Patent number: 11371393
    Abstract: An arrangement for converting thermal energy from lost heat of an internal combustion engine into mechanical energy includes a working circuit for a working medium. An expansion engine is disposed in the working circuit. A heat exchanger is mounted upstream of the expansion engine in a flow direction of the working medium where the working circuit extends through the heat exchange. The heat exchanger includes an exhaust gas recirculation heat exchanger having a cold part and a warm part, an exhaust gas heat exchanger, and a phase transition cooling in the internal combustion engine. The heat exchanger is formed by serial connection in a sequence of the cold part of the exhaust gas recirculation heat exchanger, the exhaust gas heat exchanger, the phase transition cooling in the internal combustion engine, and the warm part of the exhaust gas recirculation heat exchanger.

  • Feed and ignition device for a gas engine and method for operating a feed and ignition device for a gas engine
    Patent number: 11352982
    Abstract: A feed and ignition device for a gas engine has an injector for the direct blowing-in of a combustion gas into a combustion chamber of the gas engine. The device also has a pre-combustion chamber into which a fuel can be introduced and a plurality of overflow openings distributed in the peripheral direction of the injector over the periphery of the feed and ignition device via which the pre-combustion chamber can be directly connected fluidically to the combustion chamber. A spark ignition device ignites a fuel-air mixture including at least the fuel introduced into the pre-combustion chamber. The pre-combustion chamber, the overflow openings, and the spark ignition device are formed by a first structural unit and the injector is formed by a second structural unit formed separately from the first structural unit.

  • Valve train for an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle, and method for operating such a valve train
    Patent number: 11352914
    Abstract: A valve train of an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle includes a rocker arm assigned to a first combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine where via the rocker arm a gas exchange valve assigned to the first combustion chamber is actuatable. An actuating device is assigned to a second combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine where via the actuating device, by supplying the actuating device with a hydraulic fluid, the second combustion chamber is switchable between a firing mode for fired operation and a braking mode for an engine braking operation of the internal combustion engine. A supply of the hydraulic fluid to the actuating device assigned to the second combustion chamber is adjustable by the rocker arm assigned to the first combustion chamber.

  • Method for operating an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle and arrangement of a particulate filter in an exhaust system of a motor vehicle
    Patent number: 11346294
    Abstract: In a method for operating an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle, exhaust gas from the internal combustion engine is fed to a particulate filter of the motor vehicle. Until a predetermined filtration rate of the particulate filter is reached, a temporary interruption of a fuel supply to the internal combustion engine is prevented in an overrun mode of the motor vehicle if a temperature of the exhaust gas in the particulate filter is greater than a predetermined threshold value of the temperature. An arrangement of the particulate filter in an exhaust system of the motor vehicle is also described.

  • Vehicle driving apparatus
    Patent number: 11339868
    Abstract: A vehicle driving apparatus is capable of reducing vehicle weight and manufacturing cost while improving performance of heat dissipation from a speed reduction mechanism. The vehicle driving apparatus includes a motor, which is incorporated in a vehicle, a speed reduction mechanism, which transmits driving force produced by the motor to a differential gear of the vehicle, and a housing structure, which accommodates the speed reduction mechanism and the differential gear. The housing structure includes a rear cover, adjacent to the speed reduction mechanism, and a rib structure, provided on the rear cover, and the rib structure is provided along the direction in which the vehicle travels and integrated with the rear cover.
