Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for treating surfaces of metallic strip material (1), especially for pickling rolled material, in a treatment channel (2), with a pickling medium (3) containing acid. Jets (4) are set in the direction in which the strip is transported (5) at the entrance to the channel (2a) and in the opposite direction that in which the strip is transported at the exit of the channel (2b). The aim of the invention is to produce a closed liquid film with some turbulence on the surface of the strip. Said film should be maintained as far as the exit (2b) of the channel. To this end, additional jets (4) between the channel entrance (2a) and the channel exit (2b) are oriented in the opposite direction to the direction in which the strip is transported (5) and the pickling medium (3) is further delayed in flowing out at the channel exit (2b) by mechanical resistance devices (7) situated in the path of the transport channel (6).

Abstract: The invention proposes a fuel supply system for internal combustion engines, having a fuel tank (1) and a fuel reservoir (5) disposed therein, having a fuel pump (11), which drives one or more jet pumps (13), each by means of a supply line (21), the jet pumps (13) in turn filling the fuel reservoir (5) with fuel from the fuel tank (1). There is also a fuel line (7), which hydraulically connects the fuel reservoir (5) to the engine. During the starting of the engine, the fuel pump (11) feeds fuel into the fuel line (7), thus improving the starting behavior of the engine.

Abstract: A fuel system is disclosed in which high-pressure fuel pump with a prefeed pump is proposed, in which the fuel quantity pumped by the prefeed pump is distributed for cooling and lubrication purposes, via a continuously adjustable multiposition valve, to the pump elements of the high-pressure fuel pump or to the low-pressure region of the high-pressure fuel pump. The multiposition valve is controlled by the control unit of the engine. An advantageous feature of the high-pressure fuel pump of the invention is that depending on the operating state of the engine and of the high-pressure fuel pump, an optimal distribution of the fuel quantity pumped by the prefeed pump can always be accomplished. Moreover, the energy demand by the prefeed pump is reduced and its service life is lengthened.

Abstract: A fuel injection system having a prefeed pump, through which fuel from a fuel supply container is pumped to a high-pressure pump, and by means of the high-pressure pump, fuel is pumped into a reservoir. Communicating with the reservoir is at least one injector, through which fuel is injected to the engine. A fuel filter is disposed between the prefeed pump and the high-pressure pump. A return line for uninjected fuel leads back from at least one injector into a region upstream of the high-pressure pump. A valve is provided, by which the return line, in a first switching position, at a low fuel temperature, leads to upstream of the fuel filter, between it and the prefeed pump, and by which the return line, in a second switching position, at a high fuel temperature, leads to downstream of the fuel filter, between it and the high-pressure pump.

Abstract: A common rail fuel injection system in which the pressure in the return line is controlled as a function of the delivery pressure of the presupply pump.

The pressure in the return line is controlled by means of a pressure control valve.

Abstract: A fuel injection system for internal combustion engines is proposed in which gelation of the fuel is avoided by a fuel preheating that operates as a function of temperature. A pressure regulating valve of a common rail can be cooled as well.

Abstract: A thread wiper assembly mountable to the side of a sewing machine. The thread wiper assembly is particularly advantageous with sewing machines that are equipped with a walking foot. The thread wiper is mounted sidewardly relative to the needle and includes a picker arm, that while in a retracted position, is disposed sidewardly relative to the needle and out of its path of travel. Because the thread wiper is mounted to the side of the sewing machine and sidewardly relative to the needle, the picker arm is able to traverse along a path between the needle and the walking foot without interference.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fuel injection system, in particular a common rail system, with a pre-feed pump, which delivers a fuel flow from a fuel tank to a high-pressure pump. A fuel filter is disposed downstream or upstream of the pre-feed pump in terms of the feed direction. A safety switch which is dependent upon the fuel filter pressure difference, is provided in order to protect the pre-feed pump and the high-pressure pump by diverting overly pressurized flow back to the fuel.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a method for assuring emergency driving functions with a diesel engine when the fuel temperature sensor fails, the diesel engine having a charging-air blower and a charging-air temperature sensor. The method includes performing a fuel temperature dependent correction of specific operating functions by taking the charging air temperature as a basis such that all functions corresponding to a fuel temperature of T.sub.K =+20.degree. C. are fulfilled at a charging air temperature of T.sub.L .gtoreq.0.degree. C. and all functions corresponding to a fuel temperature of T.sub.K =-10.degree. C. are fulfilled at a charging air temperature of T.sub.L <0.degree. C. The functions include the start control path, starting speed, idle speed, control path correction, and basic quantity control.

Abstract: A control device for Diesel engines with which a rapid shutoff of the latter is possible by emptying the suction chamber of the injection pump by aspiration. The control device includes a control valve, which in the operating position (I) opens up the feed line of the feed pump toward the suction chamber and in the reversed shutoff position (II) blocks this feed line between the compression side (D) of the feed pump and the suction chamber. The control valve is an electromagnetic shutoff valve. A further part of the control device is an electric fuel pump, which as a special aspirating pump is disposed in an aspiration line leading from the suction chamber back to the fuel tank. For emergency engine shutoff, the control valve, displaced into its blocking position (II), blocks the flow of fuel between the feed pump and the suction chamber, while the aspirating fuel pump that has been turned on at the same time empties the suction chamber by aspiration.
