  • Patent number: 11933266
    Abstract: Thus there is provided a method of installing rotor blades of a wind turbine to a rotor hub of the wind turbine. The wind turbine has a tower having a tower longitudinal axis. The rotor hub has a first, a second and a third rotor blade connection. The rotor hub is rotated until the first rotor blade connection is at an angle of 90° or 270° with respect to the tower longitudinal axis. The first rotor blade is lifted substantially horizontally and fixed to the rotor blade connection. The rotor hub is rotated so that the second rotor blade connection is at an angle of 90° or 270° with respect to the tower longitudinal axis. The second rotor blade is lifted substantially horizontally and fixed to the second rotor blade connection. The rotor hub is further rotated until the third rotor blade connection is at an angle of 60° or 300° with respect to the tower longitudinal axis. The third rotor blade is lifted at an angle of ?=30° with respect to a horizontal and fixed to the third rotor blade connection.

  • Publication number: 20230250789
    Abstract: The disclosure is directed to an ignition circuit for a combustion engine. The combustion engine has a piston movable between a top dead center and a bottom dead center and, via a connecting rod, drives a crankshaft. Combustion air is apportioned via an intake channel. A control circuit provides an ignition time for the idling situation and an ignition time for the acceleration situation. To adjust an early switch to an ignition time for the acceleration situation, provision is made to monitor the rotational speed of the crankshaft over a crankshaft angle range and to detect the value of a drop in rotational speed. The value of the detected drop in rotational speed is compared to a predetermined value of a drop in rotational speed and, when the predetermined value of the drop in rotational speed is exceeded, a switch is made to the ignition time for the acceleration situation.

  • Patent number: 11168593
    Abstract: A mixture-lubricated four stroke engine has a cylinder in which a combustion chamber is formed. The combustion chamber is delimited by a piston which is mounted movably in the cylinder. The engine has an intake channel which discharges into the combustion chamber via an inlet opening controlled by an inlet valve. A mixture formation unit includes at least one fuel opening which discharges into the intake channel. For the lubrication of the crankcase interior, a flow connection connects the intake channel to the crankcase interior via a connecting opening which discharges into the intake channel downstream of the mixture formation unit. The fuel quantity is controlled by a fuel valve. A control unit is configured to activate the fuel valve in a manner dependent on the position of the crankshaft such that the fuel valve is opened at least also during a part of the compression stroke.
