  • Publication number: 20140161630
    Abstract: An electric fluid pump may include a wet section having a pump wheel and a permanently excited rotor of an electric motor arranged therein. The electric fluid pump may include a dry section having a stator of the electric motor arranged therein. A containment shell may be included configured to separate the wet section from the dry section. The dry section may include control electronics for controlling the fluid pump. The control electronics may connect in a heat-transferring manner to the containment shell and the wet section via the containment shell.

  • Patent number: 8191861
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a control valve (1) for controlling a gas flow in a gas line (3) of an internal combustion engine, in particular in a motor vehicle, comprising a rotationally adjustable flap (4) for controlling a flow cross section (13), a throttling sealing gap (14) which, in a closed position of the flap (4), is formed radially between a sealing contour (15) of the flap (4) and a sealing face (16) which faces the flap (4), and a drive shaft (5), on which the flap (4) is arranged fixedly in terms of rotation.

  • Publication number: 20110180049
    Abstract: A dual path fresh air system, having a first air supply path, the first path supplies air to at least one first cylinder set; a second air supply path, the second path supplies air to at least on second cylinder set; a first exhaust gas recirculation inlet fluidly connected to the first path to introduce recirculated exhaust gas into the first path; a second exhaust gas recirculation inlet fluidly connected to the second path to introduce recirculated exhaust gas into the second path; a first valve member, which is arranged upstream of the first exhaust gas recirculation inlet in the first path, wherein the first valve member controls fluid flowing through a cross section of the first path; and a second valve member which is arranged upstream of the second exhaust gas recirculation inlet in the second path, for controlling fluid flowing through a cross section of the second path.

  • Publication number: 20100132357
    Abstract: The invention relates to an internal combustion engine system (1), particularly in a motor vehicle, comprising an internal combustion engine (2), a fresh gas system (3) for supplying fresh gas to the internal combustion engine (2), an exhaust gas system (4) for discharging exhaust gas from the internal combustion engine (2), and an exhaust gas recirculation system (5) for removing exhaust gas from the exhaust gas system (4) at a removal point (11) and introducing the removed exhaust gas into the fresh gas system (3) at an introduction point (12). In order to improve exhaust gas recirculation, the exhaust gas system (4) is equipped with an exhaust gas valve (14) downstream of the removal point (11) in order to control the penetrable cross-section of the exhaust gas system (4).
