At least one heater is arranged on the membrane. The measurement chip is installed in the in-flow channel of a housing. By means of the structure of the housing, contamination of the measurement chip is reduced, thermal equalization with the media flow is improved, the resistance of the sensor to sudden pressure variations is increased, and the dielectric contacts are improved.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a flow sensor having a heater, two temperature measuring sensors, a heater temperature sensor and a medium temperature sensor. A control circuit is provided which controls the overtemperature of the heater in dependence upon the temperature of the flowing medium. With this arrangement, the influence of the temperature dependency of the following on the sensor characteristic are compensated: viscosity, thermal conductance and thermal capacity of the medium. The relationship between the heater temperature and the temperature of the medium is adjusted in a slightly nonlinear manner by means of special evaluation circuits. In this way, a further improvement of the temperature compensation is obtained.

Abstract: A device for controlling the temperature of a resistor used for measuring purposes is adversely affected in its measuring accuracy as the result of deposits on the resistor (8). To establish the degree of contamination and to initiate a free-burning operating, in the case of a device associated with an internal-combustion engine, the air volume (m), respectively the fuel quantity (k), is determined and compared to a specific limiting value (m.sub.Max or k.sub.Max). When the limiting value is exceeded, a trigger signal is emitted to initiate the free-burning operation in order to burn free the resistor (8).

Abstract: A fuel injection system for internal combustion engines is proposed which serves the purpose of fuel injection into the air intake tube of the engine. The fuel injection system includes a fuel injection valve, which is supported upstream of a throttle valve in a holder body disposed coaxially in the air intake tube. A fuel supply line leads to the fuel injection valve, extending in a downwardly directed manner toward the fuel injection valve and away from a deaeration chamber. A fuel return line leads away from the fuel injection valve, extending in an upwardly inclined direction to discharge into the regulating chamber, disposed at a higher level, of a pressure regulating valve. A fuel feed line originating at a fuel supply pump terminates in an upwardly directed manner into the dearation chamber, which communicates via a dearation nozzle with the regulating chamber, so that vapor bubbles can escape upstream of the injection valve into the return side of the injection valve.

Abstract: In flow rate meters with a ceramic substrate extending into a flow opening and having at least one temperature-dependent resistor film, there is the danger that excessive acceleration forces from a fall or from an impact will break the ceramic substrate. There is also the danger of destruction of the ceramic substrate from being unintentionally touched by an object or a finger. To increase the protection of the ceramic substrate against breakage, a reinforcing element is provided on a first housing half, protruding into the flow opening over a portion of the ceramic substrate and being glued to the ceramic substrate in the same manner as the first housing half. Protective ribs protrude from the housing halves into the flow opening in the direction of the ceramic substrate and prevent unintentional contact with the ceramic substract by objects or fingers. The flow rate meter is suitable for measuring the flow rate of the aspirated air in internal combustion engines.

Abstract: When an air flow rate meter is used in the intake tube of internal combustion engines, such a meter typically having a flat substrate with at least one resistor film disposed on it, the problem arises of dirt deposits on the substrate end face facing into the flow, which cause undesirable changes in the characteristic curve compared with the calibrated new state of the air flow rate meter. The novel embodiment of the air flow rate member is intended to enable calibration based on conditions expected in practice. To produce the effect, while the air flow rate meter is new, of long-term soiling of an air flow rate meter substrate over a period of operation, a leading body, for instance shaped as a U, is disposed on the end face of the substrate facing into the flow. The leading body simulates a soiled effect while the air flow rate meter is still new, and this effect is taken into account in the calibration.

Abstract: An electromagnetically actuatable fuel injection valve which has an internal scavenging system for cleaning dirt particles from a magnetic field air gap. A portion of the fuel flowing in via an inflow line and an inflow opening reaches the vicinity of an air gap defined on one side by an armature and on the other by magnetic poles and flows through this gap, and then flows via an outflow opening to enter an outflow line that communicates with a fuel return. As a result of the described scavenging of the air gap, dirt particles are prevented from becoming firmly attached there and causing impairment of the performance of the fuel injection valve.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electromagnetically actuatable fuel injection valve which is used to supply fuel to a mixture compressing internal combustion engine. The fuel injection valve comprises a valve housing provided with an extension in which a valve seat body is disposed. A magnetic coil is mounted on each of the pole parts and a permanent magnet is disposed between the poles of the pole parts. The valve seat body is connected to a guide via a collet. The guide, collet and valve seat body are penetrated by a valve needle which is connected at its one end to an armature and which, at its other end, ends in a closing end. In the guide is a guide bore which is adapted to radially guide a spherical head portion of the valve needle and which then tapers into an abutment face, against which face the valve needle rests by way of the head when the injection valve is open. To open the valve, the valve needle is moved outwardly, thereby uncovering an ejection opening between a valve seat and the closing head.

Abstract: An electromagnetically actuatable fuel injection valve which serves to supply fuel to a mixture-compressing internal combustion engine having externally supplied ignition. The fuel injection valve includes a valve housing with a mouth piece in which a valve seat body is disposed, two magnet coils two cores and one armature, which has a spherical guide section and is connected to a valve needle. The spherical guide section is slidably supported with its circumference in a guide bore of the valve seat body and in its stroke movement away from the core is limited by a tapering stop opening which adjoins the guide bore. A plastic bushing is mounted on a guide step of the valve seat body and is pressed by a spring against the core end face, thereby preventing a dirct flow of fuel to the remnant air gap on the armature, as a result of which the depositing of soil particles in the gap is avoided.

Abstract: An electromagnetic valve consists of two valve housing parts, connected by crimping and axially braced, and having a magnetic pipe care therein. A flat armature is positively connected with a spherically shaped valve closing part, which extends through a central opening in a guide membrane for cooperation with a valve seat. The guide membrane rests via an outer circumference on a collar and is supported there via the axial tensioning force between the valve housing parts in assembled form. The guide membrane is welded to the collar on the outer circumference upon at least two points. Before the valve housing parts are combined, the guide membrane, abutting the collar, in concentrically guided into position by a centering body, having a slightly larger diameter than the valve closing part, on the valve seat and is welded at said points in this position. Thereupon the centering body is removed and the actual assembly of the valve is performed.

Abstract: A fuel injection apparatus for separately ignited internal combustion gas engines is proposed. The fuel injection apparatus comprises an air intake stack in which an injection valve is arranged upstream of a throttle valve. A ring slot developed approximately Venturi-shaped is formed between the casing of the injection valve and the cylindrical inner wall of the air intake stack.

An air measuring organ with at least one temperature dependent resistance for measuring the air mass flowing through is arranged in the air bypass line.

Abstract: A fuel injection system for internal combustion systems is proposed, which serves to inject fuel into the intake tube of the engine. The fuel injection system includes at least one fuel injection valve which is disposed in the interior of a holder and communicates with both a fuel supply line and a fuel drainage line. The inflow of fuel into the fuel injection valve takes place radially via an inflow region. An orifice body is secured in the holder, forming a reservoir preceding the inflow region. In the first few seconds after hot starting of the engine, only the fuel stored in the reservoir reaches the inflow region and hence is injected. Because readily volatile fuel components have evaporated beforehand, the fuel stored in the reservoir enables especially good fuel preparation.

Abstract: An electromagnetically actuatable fuel injection valve for fuel injection systems is proposed. The valve includes a valve housing and a first connection pipe serving as the core, which is surrounded by a magnetic coil. A second connection pipe is disposed inside the first connection pipe and with it forms a flow cross section for the inflowing fuel, which via the flow conduit can flow into an interior chamber of the valve housing surrounding the magnetic coil and from there can flow via a connecting line into a fuel chamber surrounding a nozzle needle, this chamber being defined by a guide bore in the nozzle body as well as by an injection port at one end and by an armature on the other. A bypass bore is provided in a head of the nozzle needle leading from this fuel chamber to an inner bore of the armature. This inner bore is open toward the second connection pipe so that at least a partial quantity of fuel is capable of flowing back via the second connection pipe.

Abstract: A magnetic injection valve for injecting fuel into the intake tract of internal combustion machines, which is distinguished by particularly good internal cooling. A magnetic coil wound onto a coil carrier is located in the valve, being introduced into a valve housing and surrounds a ferromagnetic core. The core acts upon an armature which is connected to a movable valve needle. A bushing in the core and a sleeve located outside the core are arranged such that the fuel, emerging from an inflow tract of a supply device flows via the sleeve serving as a fuel line and reaches the interior of the valve housing that receives the magnetic coil; after flowing virtually completely around the magnetic coil, the fuel leaves this interior via a bore and flows back between the bushing and the core as far as the end of the bushing, and then flows on through the bushing to reach the armature to flow on to the valve seat.
