  • Patent number: 10890107
    Abstract: An exhaust gas turbocharger for an internal combustion engine, includes a turbine; a bypass line fluidly arranged parallel to the turbine; and a cross section adjustment element for adjusting a flow cross section of the bypass line, wherein the cross section adjustment element being configured as a ball valve having a valve housing, two bearing shells arranged in the valve housing and a valve element. The valve element is floatingly supported in the valve housing and arranged between the two bearing shells with a tolerance in a direction which is angled with respect to a rotation axis of the valve element.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9388784
    Abstract: An internal combustion engine for a motor vehicle includes at least one cylinder, an injection valve associated to the cylinder for direct injection of fuel into a combustion chamber of the cylinder. The injection valve is received in a receiving opening of a cylinder head of the internal combustion engine and held by a support element in the receiving opening. The support element is secured in its rotational position by a formfitting engagement of a first formfit element on the injection valve, and by a formfitting engagement of a second formfit element on the cylinder head. A support element of this type ensures a particularly satisfactory securement of the rotational position of the injection valve. In the event of structural changes to the cylinder head or at the injection valve, it is only necessary to adapt the support element so that such modifications can be realized particularly inexpensively.

  • Patent number: 8695570
    Abstract: A fuel distributor system for a motor vehicle includes a fuel pipe having an interior space, and at least one receiving tube for receiving an injector. The receiving tube is arranged on the fuel pipe and configured to project into the interior space of the fuel pipe. The receiving tube has an end face formed with an opening for introduction of fuel, and includes a first portion which is arranged in the interior space of the fuel pipe, and a second portion which is arranged outside the fuel pipe. The first portion has an axial dimension which is greater than an axial dimension of the second portion of the receiving tube.
