Abstract: The invention relates to an internal combustion engine comprising a turbocharger between an air filter and a crankcase, a fuel tank, and a ventilation arrangement for the fuel tank, comprising a jet suction pump.

Abstract: The invention relates to a volume flow control valve with a control function for ventilating the crankcase of an internal combustion engine in a housing between a crank chamber of a crankcase and an intake tract with at least two openings between the crank chamber and the intake tract.

Abstract: The invention relates to a multi-stage jet suction pump for aspirating blow-by gases from internal combustion engines.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for separating liquids from gases, especially for separating oil particles from blow-by gases of the crankcase ventilation of internal combustion engines. Proceeding from the drawbacks of the known prior art, a device is to be provided that is characterized by a simple, cost-effective and space-saving construction and with which a high separation performance can be achieved. As a solution, it is proposed that the individual flow tubes 2 have at least one tangentially arranged gas inlet 3 at their end facing towards the direction of gas inlet and are closed at the front side 2a adjacent thereto by means of a cover 5, wherein a combined rotational and axial flow with a vortex component is generated in the flow tubes 2, wherein the rotational flow in the individual tubes 2 repeatedly rotates by 360°. The individual flow tubes 2 are part of a base support that has a circumferential edge 1a.

Abstract: The invention provides a process for the production of a supported gold catalyst suitable for catalysing the oxidation of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide. A porous support is impregnated with a solution of gold compound and with a basic solution, using an incipient wetness impregnation technique, such that gold hydroxide is precipitated in the pores of the support. The impregnation step is carried out using a compound comprising chloride. The chloride is then removed from the sample. Surprisingly, the catalyst formed by the process is effective in catalysing the oxidation of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide at room temperature.
