Abstract: The present invention provides for Variable Valve Actuation comprising a cam, a valve suitable to displace between a closed position and an open condition caused by said cam, and further comprising a main rocker arm suitable to swing over a fulcrum, mechanically interacting with said valve, by means of a guide profile, and wherein said cam interacts with said main rocker arm causing said valve displacement as a consequence of said main rocker arm swinging. The target is to prevent a valve brake due to the guide profile and enable higher system stiffness. Accumulator less designs are feasible with this system.

Abstract: System for preventing the urea crystal formation within the ATS, the exhaust ATS comprising a dosing module having dosage means for producing a spray of urea-based reducing agent defining a spray cone downstream of the dosage means, the device comprising an electric heating element, suitable to be connected to an electrical energy source, arranged in order to operatively fall within the spray cone.

Abstract: Device for improving the purifying liquid evaporation in an axially symmetric dosing module for an SCR device. The dosing module is able to dose a urea-based reducing agent into a gas exhaust stream generated by a combustion engine. The dosing module comprises a housing developing symmetrically along a development axis; a nozzle for dosing the urea-based reducing agent, arranged along said development axis; and an inlet opening for conveying the gas exhaust stream into the dosing housing, arranged annularly with respect to the nozzle. The device further includes a splitting wall, arranged within the inlet opening for defining at least two separate annular gas stream paths, one annular and coaxial with respect to another, one of them shaped for inducing a different axial speed into a respective gas stream with respect to another.

Abstract: The invention relates to a mechanical variable valve actuation (VVA) system for the control and actuation of the valves of an internal combustion engine. The system according to the present invention realizes the control of the valve lift by means of a fixed pivot part for an oscillating rocker suitable to actuate the valve, the oscillating rocker being actuated by means of an eccentric control element.

Abstract: Methods and systems for retaining hydraulic fluid in a hydraulic valve actuation system adapted to be installed on an internal combustion engine are disclosed. The system may include a hydraulic fluid supply connected by one or more passages to a fluid accumulator and a hydraulic valve actuator. The one or more passages may include a retaining portion elevated above portions of the fluid accumulator and/or the hydraulic valve actuator. The retaining portion may include an air vent and thus prevent back flow of all the fluid in the accumulator and/or hydraulic valve actuator to the fluid supply during periods that the engine is shut off. Retention of hydraulic fluid in the system may be further enhanced during engine shut off by selectively controlling the release of hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic valve actuator during the engine shut off process.
