Patent number: 11255277Abstract: A system for exchanging of different fuels that can be used for operation of an engine. The system includes a fuel exchange unit, a control and an exchange return conduit. The fuel exchange unit is configured to deliver a first fuel at pressure into the injections system given a switched-off engine, in order to replace a second fuel, which is located in the injection system, with the first fuel. A fuel delivery system includes a media converter which includes a deflectable element. The media converter is driven by a drive unit via the fluid by way of the fluid being able to be led at a varying pressure to the media transformer via a first feed conduit, and is configured to deliver the fuel via a pumping effect.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2020Date of Patent: February 22, 2022Assignee: BEFINAL GMBHInventor: Holger Becker

Publication number: 20160273474Abstract: A method for operating an internal combustion engine, wherein a valve of a cylinder is opened by a cam of a camshaft within a duty cycle of the engine, and a specified quantity of fuel is supplied to the cylinder. A dimension of the cam and/or a position of the cam on the camshaft is measured after the cam and/or the camshaft has been produced. The dimension, position, and/or a characteristic variable ascertained therefrom is stored, and the quantity of the fuel to be fed within the duty cycle is determined dependent on the stored dimension, position, and/or characteristic variable calculated therefrom. An internal combustion engine is also described for carrying out the method according to the invention.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 2, 2014Publication date: September 22, 2016Applicant: VOLKSWAGEN AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventors: MARTIN BIENER, HOLGER BECKER, KAI HARTEL, FLORIAN FISCHER, STEFAN LIESKE, FALKO RUDOLPH

Patent number: 7576449Abstract: A method of converting a direct voltage generated by a decentralized power supply system into three-phase alternating voltage by means of a plurality of single-phase inverters (WR1-WR3), said alternating voltage being provided for supplying an electric mains, is intended to avoid inadmissible load unbalances using single-phase inverters. This is achieved in that, upon failure of one inverter (WR1-WR3), an asymmetrical power supply distribution is reduced by limiting the output of the other inverters. The method makes it possible to simplify three-phase voltage monitoring.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2007Date of Patent: August 18, 2009Assignee: SMA Solar Technology AGInventors: Holger Becker, Günther Cramer, Sven Bremicker, Thorsten Dingel, Bernd Engel, Wilfried Groote, Frank Greizer, Ralf Joachim Laschinski, Matthias Victor, Torben Westphal
