Patent number: 10302217Abstract: A valve unit includes a positioning device for converting a rotary motion into a linear motion, a valve rod, a drive unit, a drive shaft with an eccentric arranged thereon, a coupling element comprising a slot, and an output shaft arranged at the eccentric which moves in the slot of the coupling element. The valve rod is connected with the coupling element. The valve rod is linearly movable with the coupling element between an initial position where the valve is closed and an end position. The slot comprises a guide path which cooperates with the eccentric having an angle with a plane perpendicular to a direction of movement of the adjusting element. The initial position of the eccentric is a position which is located before a dead center existing for an axial movement of the output shaft. The dead center is passed during a rotational movement of the drive shaft.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2015Date of Patent: May 28, 2019Assignee: PIERBURG GMBHInventors: Andres Toennesmann, Martin Nowak, Andreas Koester

Patent number: 7343743Abstract: An exhaust gas return system for an internal-combustion machine which comprises a low-pressure supply line extending from an inlet From the compressor. a high-pressure supply line extends to the internal-combustion machine. From the internal-combustion machine a high-pressure exhaust gas line extends to a turbine. From the turbine a low-pressure exhaust gas line extends to an outlet. The low-pressure exhaust gas line and the low-pressure supply line have connected therewith a low-pressure return line for returning exhaust gas. The high-pressure exhaust gas line has connected therewith a bypass line for utilizing the heat of the exhaust gas produced in the internal-combustion machine for heating the exhaust gas to be returned of the low-pressure return line before the exhaust gas is supplied to the turbine (24), if desired. Thus the cold start phase of the internal-combustion machine can be reduced.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2005Date of Patent: March 18, 2008Assignee: Pierburg GmbHInventors: Heinrich Dismon, Andreas Koester
