Abstract: A side-channel blower for an internal combustion engine includes a flow housing, an impeller which rotates in the flow housing, a drive unit which drives the impeller, a housing wall with a radially delimiting housing wall, impeller blades arranged in a radially outer region of the impeller, a radial gap arranged between the impeller and the housing wall, an inlet, an outlet, and two flow channels. The housing wall radially surrounds the impeller. The impeller blades open in a radially outward direction. The two flow channels connect the inlet to the outlet and are fluidically connected to one another via intermediate spaces between the impeller blades. An interruption zone is arranged between the outlet and the inlet which interrupts the two flow channels in a peripheral direction. A radial interrupting gap is arranged between the impeller and the radially delimiting housing wall in the entire interruption zone.

The impeller blades open in a radially outward direction. A respective one of the two flow channels is respectively formed axially opposite to the impeller blades in the flow housing. The impeller blades each comprise a V-shaped cross-section.

Abstract: An actuator for a valve in an internal combustion engine includes a housing, an electric drive unit arranged in an interior of the housing, an aeration opening arranged in the housing, a plug configured to electrically connect the electric drive unit to a voltage source, and a membrane comprising pores. The membrane is configured to close the aeration opening in the housing.

Abstract: A fuel pump housing includes a body that has a bottom portion. A fuel filter is located adjacent the bottom portion, and contacts the body so that electricity, such as static electricity, is conducted between the body and the fuel filter. A ground connection dissipates, or limits, electricity in both the body and the fuel filter.
