  • Publication number: 20240068426
    Abstract: An internal combustion engine for gaseous fuel includes a cylinder and a piston for reciprocal movement in the cylinder along a reciprocal axis, whereby a combustion chamber is at least partially delimited by the cylinder and the piston. The piston includes a piston crown facing the combustion chamber, a piston crown projection of the piston crown in a direction parallel to the reciprocal axis and onto a piston crown plane extending transversally to the reciprocal axis having a piston crown center point, the piston crown comprising a piston bowl surface defining a piston bowl and a piston rim portion enclosing the piston bowl surface. A piston bowl opening is the intersection between the piston rim portion and the piston bowl surface. The piston bowl opening has an opening center of gravity in the piston crown plane. The opening center of gravity is offset from the piston crown center point.

  • Patent number: 7351383
    Abstract: Device for catalytic treatment of a gas flow including at least one body (1) that includes a catalytic material. The device has a number of first openings (5) for either entry of gas into or exit of gas from the catalyzer body (1), and a second opening (6) for either exit of the gas entering through the first openings or entry of gas into the catalyzer body (1) for subsequent exit through the first openings.
