Abstract: Plate-like ballast weights attached by noses to a support or carrier element located at the front of an agricultural prime mover. The nose of each individual ballast weight is spaced from the rest of the ballast weight by such an amount that the latter can be hung by the nose on the support or carrier element in a hanging-in or attaching position, and can subsequently be pivoted into its end position with the nose on a slope or inclination of the support or carrier element. A projection in the lower region of the ballast weight catches in a recess in the end position of the support or carrier element. The ballast weights can be secured in this end position by an arresting arrangement in the region of the noses thereof.

Abstract: A ring-shaped recuperative heat exchanger, for instance for small gas turbines, having axial channels for the exhaust gas system with increasing channel width over the diameter thereof, and having guide plates in a wavy shape for increasing the surface thereof. In an embodiment as a parallel flow or counterflow heat exchanger, the air supply channels are constructed in an identical or similar manner, with a separation of the channels from each other being effected by radially disposed intermediate plates. In a construction as a crossflow heat exchanger, the air conveying channels are formed by wavy shaped guide plates having constant wave height and wave width in a radial alignment. The separation between hot gas and air conveying channels is again effected by additional approximately radially disposed intermediate plates.

Abstract: An air-cooled internal combustion engine with individual cylinder heads. In order, with such an engine, to be able to use a single overhead camshaft for all cylinders located in-line, it is proposed according to the present invention to fasten the camshaft on the intake pipe, and to extend the rocker arms laterally beyond the cylinder head in such a manner so that the rocker arms can cooperate with the cams of the camshaft.

Abstract: A cylinder head, for a water cooled internal combustion engine, which reduces the thermal stresses. The gas-changing channels and the oil-return channels are located on one side. A main water overflow, in conjunction with an oppositely located auxiliary water overflow, makes possible a precise or directed flow along the valve land portion and around the turbulence chamber or the injection nozzle channel, whereby the flow is kept along the cylinder head bottom by a roof-shaped wall on the side remote from the cylinder block. The strength of the cylinder head is increased, and the oil removal is improved, by associating an oil-return channel with each cylinder. Specially shaped cylinder head screw channels increase the compression or pressure against the combustion chamber walls and effect a more uniform pressure distribution. A more favorable sealing behavior is attained by compensation or expansion curvatures in the cylinder head cover plate.

Abstract: An arrangement for lubricating, especially for internal combustion engines is disclosed. The circuit of the arrangement is fed with the lubricating medium, e.g. oil, by way of a pump which delivers oil from a source, as required through an oil cooler and a filter, to bearings of the engine which require lubrication, and to more remote bearings, such as are used in auxiliary equipment, e.g. off-gas turbo-superchargers. In the main pressure conduit, relatively close to the pump, there is provided a flow control device with a direct conduit being provided to communicate the pump with the more remote bearings. The direct conduit is connected to the circuit between the pump and the flow control device. As required, an oil filter can be arranged in the direct conduit.

Abstract: A reciprocating piston internal combustion engine having an intake air system, an exhaust gas system, and an injection pump.

A vaporizer is provided, the input side of which can communicate with the lubricating-oil return line of the injection pump, and the output side of which can communicate with the lubricating-oil system of the internal combustion engine and with the intake air system. The vaporizer serves for purifying the lubricating oil of fuel constituents which have a low boiling point and which contaminated the lubricating oil as a result of unavoidable leakages within the injection pump.
