Abstract: The present invention pertains to a coke scraping ring for a cylinder liner of a cylinder used in a gas engine, for scraping carbonaceous residuals (R) off a top land of a piston, comprising a ring body, a top end, a bottom end, and a combustion-facing side configured to be in direct contact with combustion products during operation. The coke scraping ring further comprises a scraping ring section at the bottom end and a recess ring section, configured to provide a recess in the combustion-facing side.

Abstract: The present invention refers to a cylinder liner for an internal combustion engine, comprising a flange having a seat-engaging surface which is configured for bearing onto a flange seat of an engine block, and wherein the seat-engaging surface has a sloped portion which extends along at least a half of a radial length of the seat-engaging surface and which is inclined relative to a radial plane being normal to a longitudinal axis of the cylinder liner.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to a method for controlling operation of an internal combustion engine configured to run on a fuel mixture of hydrogen and natural gas. The method comprises a step of obtaining temperature values measured by at least one temperature sensor provided in a cylinder head of the engine; and a step of controlling operation of the engine in dependence on the temperature values.

Abstract: A piston may include a piston body having a piston skirt. The piston may further include at least one piston ring groove arranged in the piston skirt. A lowermost piston ring groove may be arranged in a first plane and at least one blind hole may extend at least partially from the lowermost piston ring groove into the piston body. Each blind hole may act as an oil reservoir contributing to lubrication between the piston skirt and a cylinder liner during movement of the piston.

Abstract: A spark plug may include a shell surrounding a lower part of an insulator. The shell may be provided with a tool engaging portion, a seal face configured to contact a corresponding seal of a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine, a cylinder engaging threaded portion having a thread diameter (D) configured to screw the spark plug in a threaded bore of the cylinder head, and an intermediate portion extending between the shoulder and the cylinder engaging threaded portion. The intermediate portion may have a length (L1), wherein: 0.20<=L1/D<=0.80 and L1 is the length and D is the thread diameter.

Abstract: The present disclosure refers to a blow-by gas removing device for an internal combustion engine having a crankcase. The blow-by removing device may comprise an engine component rotatably driven about a longitudinal axis. A fan wheel may be fixed to the engine component such that the fan wheel rotates together with the engine component. A housing may cover at least partially the fan wheel. The housing may be provided with an outlet configured to be connected to an oil separating device. The fan wheel and the housing may be configured in a manner that blow-by gas saturated with oil is being sucked off from the crankcase and discharged through the outlet. Further, the present disclosure refers to a method for removing blow-by gas of an internal combustion engine without an auxiliary drive for a fan.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating an internal combustion engine, and air/gas mixture being introduced into the working chamber thereof and ignited by means of an ignition system. The above is carried out whereby the air/gas mixture is at least temporarily enriched. A channel (14a, 14b) is let into the cylinder head (1) from a cylinder head external wall into the working chamber (5) or a pre-combustion chamber and a gas or a gas/air mixture may be introduced in a controlled manner into the working chamber (5) or the pre-combustion chamber, by means of said channel (14a, 14b). According to the invention, the above embodiment or method permits the cycle variations in the combustion pressure to be avoided.
