Abstract: An exhaust valve for an internal combustion engine comprises a valve disc having a first side (14) and a second side (16), a valve stem extending from the first side of the valve disc, and an annular valve seat area (11) located at the first side of the valve disc. The annular valve seat area (11) is of a nickel-base alloy or a chromium-base alloy and has a valve seat surface. The annular valve seat area has at least a first annular portion (43) located in between two second annular portions (42). The first annular portion has lower hardness than the two second annular portions.

Abstract: A fuel valve includes a housing, a nozzle with nozzle holes opening to a volume inside the nozzle at the front end of the housing, a gaseous fuel inlet port in the housing connected to high pressure gaseous fuel, an axially displaceable valve needle received in a longitudinal bore in the housing, and rests on a valve seat in a closed position and has lift from the valve seat in an open position, the valve seat placed between a fuel chamber and an outlet port, the fuel chamber connected to the fuel inlet port, the outlet port connected to the volume in the nozzle, an actuator system for moving the needle between the closed and open positions, an ignition liquid inlet port connected to high pressure ignition liquid, and a conduit connecting the ignition liquid inlet port to the fuel chamber, the conduit including a fixed flow restriction.

Abstract: A fuel valve (50) for injecting gaseous fuel into the combustion chamber of a self-igniting internal combustion engine. The fuel valve (50) comprises an elongated fuel valve housing (52) with a rear end and a front end, a nozzle (54) with an elongated nozzle body with a hollow interior that forms a chamber (55) connected to nozzle holes (56), the nozzle (54) being arranged at the front end of the fuel valve housing (52), a gaseous fuel inlet port (53) in the elongated fuel valve housing (52) for connection to a source (60) of high pressure gaseous fuel, an ignition liquid inlet port (78,98) for connection to a source of ignition liquid (57), means (61,69,53,58,61,69) for establishing a timed fluidic connection between the gaseous fuel inlet port and the ignition space (55), and means (61,67,69,76,79,85,98,99) configured for a timed delivery of a finite volume of ignition liquid to the chamber (55) for igniting the gaseous fuel inside the chamber (55).

Abstract: An exhaust valve spindle for an exhaust valve in an internal combustion engine has a shaft and a valve disc at the lower end of the shaft, which valve disc at its upper surface has a seat area. The seat area is of a seat material comprising at least from 34.0 to 44.0% Cr, an aggregate amount of Nb and Ta in the range from at least 2.8 to 6.1%, from 0.3 to 2.0% Ti, at the most 0.2% Al, at the most 0.04% B, at the most 0.8% Fe, at the most 0.04% C, at the most 0.4% Si, and a balance of Ni, where the amount of Ti+Nb+0.5×Ta is in the range from 3.4 to 6.6%, and where the amount of Nb+0.5×Ta is less than 3.0% if the amount of Ti is larger than 1.5%.

Abstract: For reducing the NOx-emission of a large sized two stroke diesel engine having at least one combustion room (3), a reciprocating piston (4) and an exhaust opening (12) controlled by an exhaust valve (13) at each work cyclus a small volume of burnt gas is retained in the combustion room (3) and so added to the fresh air for the next combustion. For achieving this retention of burnt gas the underside of the valve disc (15) off the exhaust valve (13) is provided with a shallow concave face (17) building a basin-like collection room, whose depth is within a range of 2-10% of the outer diameter of the valve disc (15).

Abstract: A piston ring (6) which is arranged with radial and axial play in an associated piston ring groove (5) in a piston (1) of a reciprocating internal combustion engine can be stabilized to prevent tilting on and contact with the radially outer edge of the piston ring groove (5) by the cross section of the piston ring (6) and/or the piston ring groove (5) being designed in such a manner that a gap is formed between the lower side of the piston ring (6) and the lower supporting surface of the associated piston ring groove (5), said gap opening vertically radially outwards in the radial direction and, when the piston ring (6) is not subjected to a load, remaining open to the outside irrespective of the temperature of the piston (1) for as long as the piston ring (6) is not loaded by pressure on the top side.
