Abstract: An apparatus for the adjustment of the valve control of a reciprocating piston internal combustion engine with a cam shaft driven from the crankshaft by an endless, flexible transmission member, in which the cam shaft and a valve control adjustment device are brought into engagement with each other by a control member arranged transversely to the plane of the separating surface of a control space housing with a loosened threaded connection; the driving gear is nonrotatably fixed with respect to the cam shaft by way of the transmission member drivingly connected with the crankshaft and tensioned by a tensioning roller while the crankshaft is nonrotatably fixed in the top dead center position with respect to the crankcase by a locking pin.

Abstract: In order to obtain an arrangement of an exhaust-gas system, that is constructively simpler and lighter in weight, for an internal-combustion engine having an exhaust-gas turbosupercharger comprising a compressor casing flanged to the turbine casing, the exhaust-gas return system is disposed at the exhaust-gas turbosupercharger between the hot-gas inlet of the turbine casing and the air-charge outlet of the compressor casing. The exhaust-gas return system is preferably on the one side connected with a damming chamber formed in the hot-gas inlet duct of the turbine casing, and on the other side, with an annular chamber disposed in the compressor outlet duct. By means of a section of the connecting pipe of the exhaust-gas return system disposed at a connecting piece of the compressor casing tangentially to the annular chamber and in outflow direction of the compressed air charge, the returned exhaust gas, in a helicoidal flow direction, is led to the air-charge current for intensive mixing.

Abstract: A diesel internal combustion engine with a soot filter in the exhaust system is equipped with a controllable soot burn-off device. The latter comprises a burner arranged in the soot filter and is operable with fresh air separately fed to the soot filter.In order to render the soot burn-off device useful for several purposes, this device is switchable to serve as a warm-up means which heats up the engine and or its running and operating media during or before operation.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for the adjustment of the valve control of a reciprocating piston internal combustion engine with a cam shaft driven from the crankshaft by an endless, flexible transmission member, in which the cam shaft and a valve control adjustment device are brought into engagement with each other by a control member arranged transversely to the plane of the separating surface of a control space housing with a loosened threaded connection; the driving gear is nonrotatably fixed with respect to the cam shaft by way of the transmission member drivingly connected with the crankshaft and tensioned by a tensioning roller while the crankshaft is nonrotatably fixed in the TDC position with respect to the crankcase by a locking pin.
