Patent number: 8245767Abstract: Heat transmission units are known wherein ribs for improving the cooling efficiency extend along the whole length of the flow path of the radiator. According to the invention, it is proposed, while keeping the constructional space at the same size, to provide a larger cooling surface in a first portion, which has a higher temperature gradient, and which is accomplished by a large number of ribs arranged therein, and to omit such ribs or to reduce their number in a region that has a lower temperature gradient, i.e. in a second portion. In this manner, the overall efficiency of such a heat transmission unit is improved.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2008Date of Patent: August 21, 2012Assignee: Pierburg GmbHInventors: Hans-Jurgen Husges, Hans-Ulrich Kuhnel

Patent number: 8011175Abstract: An exhaust-gas cooling device for an internal combustion engine includes a housing with an exhaust-gas inlet, an exhaust-gas outlet, a valve device, and a U-shaped heat exchange unit including an outbound flow path and a return flow path. The housing comprises, on the open side of the U-shaped heat exchange unit, a first, a second and a third chamber. The first chamber provides a fluid connection from the exhaust-gas inlet to the second chamber, and the third chamber provides a fluid connection from the second chamber to the exhaust-gas outlet. The valve device is arranged in the second chamber such that the second chamber can be divided into two partial chambers, a first one of the partial chambers is arranged in fluid connection with the outbound flow path, and the second one of the partial chambers is arranged in fluid connection with the return flow path.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2008Date of Patent: September 6, 2011Assignee: Pierburg GmbHInventors: Hans-Jurgen Husges, Hans-Ulrich Kuhnel

Publication number: 20090050302Abstract: A cooling device is proposed that can be produced by the diecasting process, and which has a heat-transfer unit surrounded by an outer shell, wherein a jacket through which coolant flows is formed between the heat-transfer unit and the outer shell, said jacket is subdivided by webs in such a way that a passage through which coolant flows is formed between the outer shell and the outer casing of the heat-transfer unit. To this end, the webs are arranged in such a way that this circulating flow is effected in a meander shape. Compared with a spiral flow, this results in degrees of freedom with regard to the arrangement of the coolant inlets and coolant outlets. Furthermore, such cooling devices can be produced and assembled in a cost-effective manner and have a high efficiency.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2006Publication date: February 26, 2009Applicant: PIERBURG GMBHInventors: Hans-Jurgen Husges, Hans-Ulrich Kuhnel, Peter Heuer

Patent number: 7428897Abstract: The invention relates to a controllable two-way valve (1), in which a valve rod (3) is connected in a permanent manner to at least two valve members (4, 5, 6, 24, 25; 39, 40), the valve rod (3) being actuated by means of an actuator (2). The housing (7) comprises an inlet (8; 4) or outlet and two corresponding outlets (9; 32; 42), (10; 28; 43) or inlets. According to the invention, the two valve members (4, 5, 6; 24, 25; 39, 40) correspond with at least two valve seats (12, 17, 22; 29, 37, 38; 46, 47) and the two or more valve members (4, 5, 6; 24, 25; 39, 40) have three control surfaces (11, 13, 18; 26, 27, 31; 44, 45, 48). The invention thus provides a dirt-resistant valve, which is easy to operate, has fixed valve members and does not require additional equipment. Said valve permits both the inlet to be completely blocked and the two outlets to be controlled independently of one another.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2005Date of Patent: September 30, 2008Assignee: Pierburg GmbHInventors: Andreas Köster, Heinrich Dismon, Hans-Jürgen Hüsges, Hans-Ulrich Kühnel, Franz Dellen, Ridel Röttges

Patent number: 7213556Abstract: Flap bearing mountings of the present invention are for mounting flap devices (5), such as switch-over, tumble, or swirl flap devices, on a housing (2) of an air intake port system (1) of a combustion engine. Mounting of flap devices (5) is accomplished by thermoforming projections (19) that are formed on bearing elements (10) of the flap device (5) and that extend through corresponding apertures (20) formed in the housing (2) of the air intake port system (1) of a combustion engine. This structure makes it possible to cost-effectively and precisely mount one-piece flap shafts (6, 7) in all air intake port systems (1), without having to use additional mounting elements. Through the exact, precise fixing of the mounted position, deformation of the shaft (6, 7), having flap bodies (8) arranged thereon, is reliably prevented and the service life of the entire flap device (5) is prolonged.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2005Date of Patent: May 8, 2007Assignee: Pierburg GmbHInventor: Hans-Jurgen Husges

Patent number: 7077114Abstract: An exhaust gas recirculation system for a combustion engine is proposed that includes all important functions within a housing. For this purpose an exhaust gas recirculation valve, an exhaust gas cooling device with a heat exchanger unit, as well as a bypass channel with a bypass flap likewise embodied in the housing, form a unit. In addition, the exhaust gas recirculation valve in the area of its valve seat is cooled by the coolant of the exhaust gas cooling device. Thus a solution is proposed that, in comparison with known exhaust gas recirculation systems, greatly reduces construction space and weight, at the same time features low-cost assembly, and is also to be implemented very cost-effectively by the possibility of producing all housing parts in the die-casting method.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2005Date of Patent: July 18, 2006Assignee: Pierburg GmbHInventor: Hans-Jürgen Hüsges

Patent number: 6367440Abstract: An air-intake tube system for internal combustion engines with straight or V-type cylinder configuration having individual intake ducts providing adjustable length of air flow between and air-inlet chamber and the individual cylinders. A maximum duct length is obtained when a shortcut aperture in the intake duct is closed, whereas by opening the shortcut aperture the shortest length of air flow takes place between the inlet chamber and the cylinder. The inlet chamber is closed off by a unit having upper and lower flanges which can be selectively mounted on and demounted from a skirt-like wall of the air-intake ducts. The unit is provided with a self-contained closure-valve mechanism for the shortcut ducts. The lower flange of the unit forms a clearance space therebelow between the intake ducts, in which are disposed further structural elements, containing components which are connected to the cylinder heads of the internal combustion engine and are accessible for maintenance by removing the unit.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2000Date of Patent: April 9, 2002Assignee: Pierburg AGInventor: Hans-Jurgen Husges
