  • Patent number: 9004045
    Abstract: A deaeration and cooling system for a fuel tank of an internal combustion engine includes an absorption refrigerator configured to cool fuel in the fuel tank. The absorption refrigerator includes a burner, an evaporator and an exhaust-gas heat exchanger. Thermal energy for operating the absorption refrigerator is obtained from the combustion of evaporated fuel. The evaporated fuel is removed from the fuel tank and supplied to the burner of the absorption refrigerator.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7017559
    Abstract: A method for operating a fuel system for an internal combustion engine operated with fuel gas. The fuel system has at least one electrically actuated shutoff valve (4) and at least one electrically operated heating device (14, 16). The operating method includes: generating a signal to turn on the heating device (14, 16) when the internal combustion engine is turned on; determining a heating demand (?reference) of the fuel system when the heating device (14, 16) is turned on; and depending on the heating demand (?reference) of the fuel system, determining a delay time between the time the heating device (14, 16) is turned on and the time the shutoff valve (4) is opened. The heating demand (?reference) can be a function of a temperature (Tengine coolant) of the engine and/or a temperature (Thydraulic fluid) independent of the engine and/or the current (Iheating) flowing through the heating device.

  • Patent number: 6976455
    Abstract: A fuel system for an internal combustion engine (12) operated with fuel gas includes an evaporator (1) in which the liquid fuel gas is transformed by the addition of heat into a gaseous state. The evaporator (1) has a first heating device (13) configured to transmit a portion of the waste heat of the internal combustion engine (12) to the fuel gas in the evaporator (1). The evaporator (1) has a second heating device, by means of which the fuel gas in the evaporator (1) can be heated regardless of the condition of the internal combustion engine (12). The second heating device (14) can include an electrical heating element, e.g., a PTC heating element.
