  • Patent number: 11073079
    Abstract: A method for operating an internal combustion engine having an engine with a first number of cylinders and a second number of cylinders and a supercharger arrangement, wherein a charge air flow supplied to the engine is compressed by means of at least one compressor and at least one turbine is acted on by an exhaust gas flow discharged from the engine. In a main operating mode, the engine operates the first number of cylinders in two-stroke operation and the second number of cylinders in four-stroke operation. A scavenging gradient of the engine is greater for the cylinders operated in the two-stroke operation than for the cylinders operated in the four-stroke operation.

  • Publication number: 20200080471
    Abstract: A method for operating an internal combustion engine, device, and an internal combustion engine including a motor which has a crankshaft. A charge air flow is supplied to the motor that is compressed by means of a compressor via a second rotational movement, and a power turbine for producing a first rotational movement is acted on by an exhaust gas flow discharged from the motor. The following steps are provided: in a first operating mode, operating the internal combustion engine in four-stroke operation, and in a second operating mode, operating the internal combustion engine in two-stroke operation. The crankshaft can be driven by the power turbine via the first rotational movement, and the compressor can be driven by the crankshaft via the second rotational movement, wherein the second rotational movement for the compressor can be set differently from the first rotational movement of the power turbine.

  • Patent number: 10344226
    Abstract: A process for preparing olefinic products by thermal steam cracking of a first furnace feed composed of hydrocarbons in at least one first cracking furnace and of a second furnace feed composed of hydrocarbons in at least one second cracking furnace. The first furnace feed is at least partly converted into a first product stream in the first cracking furnace and the second furnace feed is at least partly converted into a second product stream in the second cracking furnace. A first pyrolysis oil is isolated from the first product stream and is at least partly treated chemically. The first pyrolysis oil is at least partly recirculated as furnace feed from downstream of the chemical treatment to the first cracking furnace. The first cracking furnace and the second cracking furnace are operated under different cracking conditions.

  • Patent number: 9919989
    Abstract: The invention describes a method for separating hydrocarbons in an installation for generating hydrocarbons from a hydrocarbon-containing charge by cleavage. The product gas of the cleavage, which contains gaseous hydrocarbons, is compressed, dried, and supplied as charge material into a separation stage (a front end C3/C4 separation). The front end C3/C4 separation comprises a C4 absorber and a depropanizer. A hydrocarbon fraction consisting of hydrocarbons having a maximum of 3 carbon atoms is obtained as a gaseous overhead product of the C4 absorber. A liquid hydrocarbon fraction consisting of hydrocarbons having at least 4 carbon atoms is obtained as a bottom product of the depropanizer. The front end C3/C4 separation comprises an additional process technological C2/C4 separation stage is arranged between the C4 absorber and the depropanizer.

  • Patent number: 9873645
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing hydrocarbon products which comprises preparing a hydrocarbon stream (C4) which predominantly comprises branched and unbranched hydrocarbons each having four carbon atoms. A first and a second partial stream (i-C4, n-C4) are obtained from this stream (C4), the first partial stream (i-C4) predominantly comprising branched hydrocarbons with four carbon atoms and the second partial stream (n-C4) predominantly comprising unbranched hydrocarbons with four carbon atoms. The method further comprises the steam cracking of at least part of the first partial stream (i-C4) at a first, higher cracking severity and at least part of the second partial stream (n-C4), at a second, lower, cracking severity.
