  • Publication number: 20240077157
    Abstract: A profiled clamp having a first profiled clamp half and a second profiled clamp half, by means of which two flange parts can be connected to one another with the application of an axial force. A first tightening head is formed at one end of the first clamp half and a second tightening head is formed at one end of the second clamp half in order to form a tightening device. The ends of the clamp halves which are located opposite the tightening heads are connected to one another by means of an articulated connection. The articulated connection is formed from a mechanically machined or formed flat strip section. As a result, the flat strip section has an increased flexibility and/or a defined flexibility adapted to the intended application and can thus be mounted more easily.

  • Patent number: 11905978
    Abstract: A jet pump comprising a jet nozzle for accelerating a propellant. The jet nozzle has a convergent inlet part and an outlet part connected to the convergent inlet part. The outlet comprises an inner wall diverging at an opening angle. The opening angle is designed such that a propellant flowing through the outlet part at subsonic speed is detached from the inner wall and a propellant flowing through the outlet part at supersonic speed is guided by the inner wall. An automatic, cost-effective and simple changeover of the jet pump to different pressure ratios is hence provided.

  • Publication number: 20230374956
    Abstract: A vehicle drive having a vacuum system for a vehicle having an internal combustion engine that is connected to a supply air line and to an exhaust air line. The vacuum system has an ejector. A propellant gas line opens into a nozzle channel of a propellant nozzle of the ejector. The nozzle channel opens into a mixing chamber of the ejector through a nozzle opening. A suction line opens into the mixing chamber and the mixing chamber on an outlet side opens directly or indirectly into a mixed gas line. The mixed gas line opens into the supply air line. The suction line is connected to a vacuum consumer, and the nozzle opening in the propellant nozzle is formed by a nozzle edge having teeth and/or corrugations.

  • Publication number: 20220258073
    Abstract: A device for degassing a liquid flowing in a liquid line is provided. The device has an inlet opening, an outlet opening, and a capillary element having an inner wall surface. The capillary element extends between the inlet opening and the outlet opening. The inlet opening is connected in a fluid-communicating manner to the outlet opening and is connected in a fluid-communicating manner to the liquid line. The inner wall surface has a material that is liquid-repellent for a liquid flowing in the liquid line. A device is thus provided for degassing a liquid flowing in a liquid line that reduces the time needed for degassing.

  • Publication number: 20220221088
    Abstract: A fluid line having a wave form portion is furnished. The wave form portion extends at least at a minimum distance along a longitudinal axis of the fluid line. The wave form portion has a wave peak element (18), which itself has, along a peripheral direction extending around the longitudinal axis of the fluid line, a varying distance from the longitudinal axis, the distance including a distance curve in the peripheral direction, the distance curve providing a non-circular contour. A fluid line is thus provided having a wave form portion, which fluid line reduces the pressure drop at the wave form portion.

  • Publication number: 20220128072
    Abstract: An angle piece for fluidically connecting fluid lines of a vehicle. The angle piece has a channel portion for altering a flow direction of a fluid about an alteration angle. An input flow direction of the fluid into the angle piece and an outlet flow direction of the fluid from the angle piece form limbs of the alteration angle. At least one guide element is arranged in the channel portion, which guide element protrudes into the channel portion. The at least one guide element altering the flow direction of a part of the fluid by the alteration angle. The angle piece thus has a low pressure drop.

  • Publication number: 20210317935
    Abstract: A profile clamp has a clamp strip that has a base with flanks on both sides. A flank angle ? is enclosed between the flanks and a clamping head is arranged at each end of the clamp strip. For even stress distribution, the flank angle ? decreases from a clamping head of the clamp strip up to a region diametrically opposite the clamping heads, and then increases again from that region to the other clamping head.
