Abstract: Method and arrangement for a turbocompound type internal combustion engine including an exhaust system for ducting the engine's exhaust gases. A supercharger turbine drives a compressor for the engine's combustion air, and an exhaust turbine is placed in the exhaust system downstream of the supercharger turbine for extracting residual energy from the exhaust flow via transmission to the combustion engine's crankshaft. The exhaust system also has an exhaust braking throttle placed downstream of the exhaust turbine. The exhaust braking throttle includes a pressure-controlled exhaust pressure regulator that makes possible variable regulation of an exhaust braking pressure in at least two steps.

Abstract: Method for controlling the braking effect during engine braking in an internal combustion engine (10) having an exhaust turbocharger unit (16) with adjustable guide blades for controlling the turbine speed and gas flow. The method includes detection of the engine speed, detection of the adjustment position of the guide blades, measurement either of the charging pressure on the intake side of the engine or the manifold pressure on the exhaust side of the engine, comparison of these data with stored desired values, and adjustment of the guide blades to a desired position which gives a suitable braking effect for the prevailing charging pressure.

Abstract: A twin-wire belt press is disclosed for dewatering a fiber suspension and forming a continuous web of the fiber suspension. The twin wire belt includes a plurality of upper and lower rolls, a perforated roll and endless upper and lower wire belts. Dewatering tables are used to support the endless upper and lower wire belts and form a wedge-shaped pressure space between the endless upper and lower wire belts for initially pressing and dewatering the fiber suspension and forming a web therebetween. Roll members, including at least two press rolls which form press roll nips with the perforated roll and another roll, press and dewater the web between the endless upper and lower wire belts.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method and a device for the dilution of dewatered cellulose pulp that maintains a consistency of 30% or greater. By shredding of the pulp to a finely divided dry granulate, dilution to a homogeneous consistency in the medium consistency range can take place exclusively through hydrodynamic effects from the addition of dilution fluid. The dilution fluid is added to the granulate at a position at which the granulate is in free fall in a stand pipe 22, 40 and above a level LiqLEV of diluted pulp in the stand pipe. A number of nozzles are arranged around the periphery of the stand pipe, directed in towards the centre of the stand pipe, obliquely downwards in the direction of fall of the granulate. It is possible through this simplified procedure to avoid completely the conventional dilution screws, and this reduces the investment costs and is operating costs, while at the same time unnecessary mechanical influence of the pulp fibres can be avoided.

Abstract: Method and arrangement for engine breaking in motor vehicles having an internal combustion engine with at least one cylinder, at least one exhaust valve at the cylinder and a rocker arm (4) for activation of the exhaust valve. The rocker arm (4) is arranged on a hollow rocker arm shaft (5) and arranged to be effected by ridges (2a, 2b, 2c) on a camshaft (2), the device additionally having a control valve (15, 16) for controlling the oil pressure in the rocker arm shaft (5), and means (6; 14) receptive to an increase of the oil pressure in the rocker arm shaft (5) being integrated in the rocker arm (4) for absorbing a play between the rocker arm (4) and the exhaust valve in the case of increase oil pressure. At least one of the ridges (2b, 2c) causes opening of the exhaust valve with an engine breaking effect.

Abstract: A twin-wire belt press for dewatering of a fibre suspension and forming of a continuous web thereof comprises two dewatering tables (11, 12) forming a wedge-shaped pressure space (13) between the wire belts (5, 6) for initially pressing and dewatering the fibre suspension, whereby a web is formed between the wire belts. A roll arrangement (14) is situated after the dewatering tables, as seen in the direction of movement of the wire belts, for finally pressing and dewatering the web between the wire belts. The roll arrangement comprises at least on perforated hole roll (15) pressing against the wire belts. As a result, white-water that the hole roll presses out of the web between the wire belts is drained at least in part through the hole roll without rewetting the web.

Abstract: An adaptable, multipurpose spot welding gun having replaceable electrode holders with different configurations. The spot welding gun includes a pneumatic cylinder with a first electrode secured to the cylinder piston. A rotatable housing is mounted on the gun adjacent to the moveable electrode. An electrode holder is mounted on the housing. The electrode holder may extend parallel to the cylinder, carrying a second electrode spaced from the first electrode. Alternatively, the electrode holder may be arc-shaped, extending away in a direction perpendicular to the cylinder, then back to hold a second electrode adjacent to the first electrode. This holder is fastened to the housing in a manner allowing it to swing to the side to allow the holder to fit over intervening structure, then swung back to the operating position. Either electrode can be easily installed or removed.

Abstract: An ejector in the fuel tank for transferring liquid fuel from the fuel tank to a fuel chamber in the fuel tank. The ejector comprises a housing with an inlet opening from the fuel tank laterally into the housing. An inlet channel for surplus engine fuel communicates into the ejector housing through a nozzle orifice outlet. An evacuation channel from the ejector housing has an inlet that is aligned with the nozzle orifice. The conicity of the ejector housing and of the inlet channel in the vicinity of the nozzle orifice is disclosed. The evacuation channel has an outlet that extends essentially tangentially into the free space inside the fuel chamber around the outside of a fuel pump therein.
