  • Patent number: 6308867
    Abstract: The dispenser outlet (13) is microbiologically sealingly closeable by a valve stopple (25) which closes counter flow direction (11). Outlet 13 is manually reversely opened prior to the pump stroke against a spring (34). The medium reaches outlet (13) via throttles (22, 21, 49). Thus the medium creeps practically non-pressurized to an adhering face (51) of a droplet former (50). There the medium accumulates to a droplet suspending in the upside-down position. The medium contained in the dispenser (1) is effectively protected from germ contamination and the droplet may be simply administered to an eye or the like.

  • Patent number: 4936417
    Abstract: A lubricating system is disclosed which includes a splash cooling of the pistons of an internal-combustion engine by spraying nozzles, the cooling jets of which are aimed at the interior surfaces of the pistons. In order to achieve, after the start of an internal-combustion engine, a rapid buildup of the lubricant pressure, the lubricant supply to the spraying nozzles is interrupted in this initial operating phase. Since, in the starting phase, the lubricating oil supply to the camshafts can be reduced considerably or can even be switched off completely without damaging the bearings, the spraying nozzles and the camshafts receive a common lubricating oil supply which can be controlled centrally by means of control valves. It is advantageous that already existing lubricant ducts may be used, and the spraying nozzles can be constructed in a simple manner without any integrated control valves.

  • Patent number: 4807436
    Abstract: The invention relates an arrangement for the mounting of exhaust gas lines which are arranged in an exhaust gas-tight space, and serve for the transfer of the combustion gases from the exhaust openings of the cylinder heads to the exhaust gas manifold. By reason of the high temperature load of the exhaust gas lines which are not cooled in the exhaust gas-tight space, the mounting is so constructed that no compulsory forces can occur which stem from the temperature strain. This is achieved by a point-shaped mounting of flanges connected with the exhaust gas lines at only one circumferential place each. The single point fastening assures a radial and axial expansion possibility of the exhaust gas lines under thermal load free of compulsory forces. The exhaust gas lines are threadably secured each by means of fastening bolts within the area of the ends of the cylinder head side preferably at the cylinder head or at wall parts of the components forming the exhaust gas-tight space.

  • Patent number: 4616480
    Abstract: A control for the engagement and disengagement of an exhaust gas turbocharger in which the charging air pressure of the internal combustion engine is used as control magnitude for the engagement and disengagement. Unfortunately, this charging air pressure exhibits oscillations with large amplitudes after each engagement and disengagement which could trigger faulty shifting operations in the control. To alleviate this problem, the control line (44) between the charging-air line and the control slide valve members (40, 41) is always closed off when these oscillations occur and their negative effects on the control are thereby prevented.

  • Patent number: 4593662
    Abstract: An air flow in the combustion space which swirls or rotates about the cylinder longitudinal axis is produced for the fine distribution of the fuel by a correspondingly constructed inlet channel controlled by two inlet valves in a supercharged four-cycle internal combustion engine with direct fuel injection. With a low air mass flow, the rotary movement of the air in the combustion space is only weak and therefore prone to disturbance. An improvement is achieved by a change of the air flow in the inlet channel system. The valve actuation contains, for that purpose, an adjusting mechanism consisting of a piston-cylinder-unit fed with pressure oil, which effects in one operating function an automatic valve clearance compensation and which enables in a second operating function together with a controllable closure device in the pressure oil feed line a stoppage of one of the two inlet valves actuated in unison by the valve actuation.

  • Patent number: 4572148
    Abstract: A diesel internal combustion engine in which during the starting and partial load operation, a number of the cylinders are operated as compressor cylinders and a number as engine cylinders. The supplied charging air of one compressor cylinder (26) is used as actuating medium for the valves (35 to 42) which are to be controlled corresponding to the operating condition of the internal combustion engine, in the connecting lines (27 to 34) between the compressor cylinders (19 to 26) and the engine cylinders (11 to 18) in the absence of a compressed air network. As a result thereof, auxiliary energy of the internal combustion engine (10) is needed only for the initiating control and a rapid shifting of the operating conditions is attained with minimum expenditures.

  • Patent number: 4550568
    Abstract: In a turbocharged diesel internal combustion engine (10) with low compression ratio, at least one cylinder (11) operating as an engine cylinder is charged during starting and at partial load operation by several cylinders (18, 21, 28) operating as compressors. The pistons of the compressor cylinders (18, 21, 28) lead the piston of the engine cylinder (11). As a result thereof, the engine cylinder can be charged during its compression stroke. The compressor cylinder (28) which by reason of its large angular ignition spacing to the engine cylinder cannot feed directly into the engine cylinder, delivers its supplied air at first to another compressor cylinder (18) which is located more favorably. Only thereafter, the air of the two compressor cylinders (18 and 28) is fed in common and in parallel with a further, possibly also favorably located compressor cylinder (21), to the engine cylinder (11).

  • Patent number: 4538584
    Abstract: In a diesel internal combustion engine (10) having a low compression ratio, at least one cylinder (11) operating as engine cylinder is supercharged during starting and in the partial load operation by several cylinders (12, 13) operating as compressor. The piston of the first compressor (12) which is used for the direct charging of the engine cylinder (11), leads the piston of the engine cylinder (11) exactly so far that the air compressed by the same is fed directly into the engine cylinder (11) during the beginning of the compression stroke. At least one further compressor cylinder (13) supplies its air to an air storage device (22) which is connected with the engine cylinder (11) by way of a line (24) adapted to be closed off by a valve (23).
