Abstract: An intake manifold section for installing in an intake system of an internal combustion engine may have a tube body including an inlet opening, an outlet opening and a fresh air path section running from the inlet opening to the outlet opening. An air mass sensor may be fastened to the tube body and protrude into the fresh air path section. A bypass channel may be disposed on the tube body and bypass the fresh air path section connected to a blow-by gas path at an inlet side.

Abstract: A closure for a filling tube of a motor vehicle with a swivel closure cover is arranged outside of a center opening of the filling tube in the tank and pivots around a swivel axis positioned in a plane perpendicular to the center axis of the opening. The closure is pre-stressed by a spring in a direction counter to the insertion movement of a filling pipe of a fuel supply nozzle. The closure is supported on a lower surrounding opening edge of the opening in the closed position to form a seal. An upstanding swivel facilitating element that can be contacted by the filling pipe is arranged on the closure. The closure cover is swiveled in a force-saving manner as a result of this swivel facilitating element.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine having a mechanical supercharger for compressing the combustion air in the intake manifold. The supercharger communicates with a charge-air cooler which is arranged downstream in the direction of flow of the combustion air and is connected to the intake manifold. In order to design an internal combustion engine in such a way that as few alterations to the basic engine as possible are required for the arrangement of the supercharger, the supercharger, the charge-air cooler and the intake manifold are formed as an interchangeable supercharger module held on a support plate.

Abstract: A heat exchanger for a water-cooled internal combustion engine having a lubricant cooling system and an exhaust gas recirculation system includes a housing with cooling water inlet and outlet stubs by way of which cooling water is conducted through the interior of the housing, and a lubricant cooler is formed in the housing and separated from the cooling water space by a zigzag-shaped intermediate wall and a recirculated exhaust gas cooler is disposed in the housing in heat exchange relation with the cooling water flowing through the housing.

Abstract: A device for robotizable refuelling of a vehicle includes a docking component which can be installed on a filling tube of a fuel tank of the vehicle for receiving a pistol nozzle, in which the pistol nozzle can be locked, in axial and peripheral directions, and which has a central passage for a fill pipe of the pistol nozzle. The device contains a hollow cylindrical ring carrier element provided with a central passage fastened on an underside of the docking element. A locking ring provided with radially projecting bayonet arms is held against torsion but axially moveable on the ring carrier element. A compression spring is braced between the underside of the locking ring on the one hand and a connection of the ring carrier element. The device can be installed on the edge of the filling tube, which is provided with recesses for passage of bayonet arms of the locking ring at an inlet side to form a bayonet lock.

Abstract: A filling system for robot-capable filling of a motor vehicle with fuel has a filler nozzle and a tank filler neck, with a docking extension provided with a central opening being provided on the neck on the filling side of the vehicle. The extension is rotatable by an upper section around the axis of symmetry to open and close a tank closure. The filler nozzle is dockable by its outlet end to form a positive connection between the filler nozzle and the docking extension. When the filler nozzle is ready for filling, positive elements distributed around the circumference of the filler nozzle and the docking extension mesh positively with one another. In order to achieve a simple docking of the filler nozzle on the filler neck of the vehicle fuel tank for a filling that is always functionally reliable and unimpeded, the positive elements of one docking partner are radially movable and actuatable in the radial direction fluidically, and the positive elements of the other docking partner are rigid.

Abstract: A filling system for robot-capable filling of a motor vehicle with fuel includes a filler nozzle and a tank filler neck having a cylindrical docking extension provided with a central opening mounted on the filler side. In the upper section of the extension, rotatable around the axis of symmetry for the opening and closing of the tank closure, the filler nozzle is dockable by its outlet end to form a positive connection between the filler nozzle and the docking extension.

Abstract: A filling system for robot-capable filling of a vehicle with fuel has a filler nozzle and a tank filler neck on which a docking extension provided with a central opening is mounted on the filling side. The extension is rotatable by an upper section around the axis of symmetry for opening and closing a tank closure. The filler nozzle is dockable by its end on an outlet side, forming a positive connection between the filler nozzle and the docking extension, with positive elements in the form of teeth distributed around its circumference. The teeth have a hub section and interlock with one another positively when the filler nozzle is ready for filling. In order to achieve functionally reliable docking of the filler nozzle on the filler neck of the vehicle fuel tank and to permit rapid undocking of the filler nozzle from the filler extension, a locking body, urged radially outward by a pretensioning spring, is provided on the outlet side of the filler nozzle.
