  • Publication number: 20230340933
    Abstract: A cylinder head for an internal combustion engine, in particular a hydrogen-powered internal combustion engine, includes a cylinder head system that includes an intake duct and a fuel inlet aperture, the fuel inlet aperture opening into the intake duct, an injector holder that is detachably connected to the cylinder head system and that includes an injector receiving borehole, an injector that is accommodated in the injector receiving borehole and braced against the injector holder with the aid of clamping means, and a tubular plug-in piece that is situated between the injector holder and the cylinder head system in such a way that a discharge opening of the injector and the fuel inlet aperture of the cylinder head system are fluidically connected to one another via the via the plug-in piece.

  • Publication number: 20230234557
    Abstract: A method for operating a hybrid drive train includes ascertaining an actual state vector of an internal combustion engine of the hybrid drive train; ascertaining a target power of the internal combustion engine; determining a target fuel mass flow for the internal combustion engine as a function of the target power of the internal combustion engine; determining a limit fuel mass flow of the internal combustion engine as a function of an emission limiting value, the target fuel mass flow, and the actual state vector of the internal combustion engine; determining a setpoint fuel mass flow by forming a minimum value as a function of the target fuel mass flow and the limit fuel mass flow; and setting the setpoint fuel mass flow at the internal combustion engine.
