Abstract: The separator (1) has a tubular inlet opening (2) and two tubular outlet openings (3, 4) which are connected with one another in a flow-carrying manner. A separating device (6) is disposed in the flow direction (5) between the inlet opening (2) and the outlet openings (3, 4). One of the outlet openings (3) carries substantially only separated liquid and the other outlet opening (4) carries substantially only gas freed of liquid. An outer tube (7) surrounds an inner tube (8) with an all-around space between them. The inner tube (8) is connected at one end to the inlet opening (2) in a flow-carrying manner, and at the other end is associated with the outlet opening (3) for the separated liquid.

Abstract: A device for controlling engine exhaust emission for use on an internal-combustion installation, in which a soot filter is arranged in an exhaust-gas system. The soot filter is made up of a flexible filter band that is traversed by the flow of exhaust gas in a first zone and which can be moved forward and renewed, continuously or intermittently, by a drive mechanism. The filter band is supported at least in the first zone by a flexible, moveable, endless conveyer belt that is permeable to gas and that absorbs tensile stresses. The filter band and the particles separated out of the exhaust gas by the filter band are burned together in a second zone.

Abstract: A resilient connecting device between an internal combustion engine and an intake pipe thereof comprises an annular cushion of resilient material and two mounting elements that are coaxial with it and fastened to the components being connected. The cushion is axially demarcated at each face by supporting surfaces that extend essentially perpendicular to its axis. The mounting elements overlap and contact the supporting surfaces. A cup spring, made of a material that does not creep, is aligned with the ring.

Abstract: An evaporation-cooled internal combustion engine, in which a cooling system which contains a coolant and an equalization container connected with it are provided. The equalization container is connected to a steam-filled zone of the cooling system by means of a line.

Abstract: A radial shaft sealing ring is disclosed which comprises a lip ring having a sealing lip which is resiliently pressed against the shaft to be sealed. The lip ring has a conical inner surface which surrounds the shaft and faces the liquid to be sealed off. A plurality of liquid deflectors are associated with the lip ring on the side of the sealing lip facing the sealed off liquid. The liquid deflectors are spaced apart around the circumferential periphery of the shaft. The liquid deflector have a leading surface which is essentially parallel to the axis of the shaft and which is inclined or curved forward toward the direction of shaft rotation. The inner edge of the liquid deflectors is a knife-edge like wiper which merges into the inclined or curved leading surface and which is spaced from the peripheral surface of the shaft.
