  • Fuel supply system of an engine designed as gas engine or dual-fuel engine and engine
    Patent number: 11891970
    Abstract: A fuel supply system of an engine designed as a gas engine or dual-fuel engine, has at least one solenoid valve. The solenoid valve is designed for introducing gas fuel into charge air or into a charge air line leading to at least one cylinder of the engine. The respective solenoid valve includes a valve body and an actuator with at least one magnetic plate and with at least one coil for actuating the valve body. The at least one solenoid valve of the solenoid valve is formed out of a corrosion-resistant material or is coated with a corrosion-resistant material.

  • Contacting device of a voltage transmission device of an ignition device of a large engine, spark-plug, ignition device and large engine
    Patent number: 11761414
    Abstract: A contacting device of a voltage transmission device of an ignition device of a large engine, whose cylinders have piston diameters of at least 140 mm having a first spring portion for the electrical contacting of a cable contacting piece of the voltage transmission device and a second spring portion for the electrical contacting of a spark plug connection of a spark-plug of the ignition device. The second spring portion tapers in a direction of its end, which comes to lie against the spark-plug connector of the spark-plug. The spark-plug connector of the spark-plug interacting with the contacting device includes a trough into which the contacting device can be introduced with a spring portion.
