Abstract: Disclosed are a hydrogen tank and a method of operating the same. The hydrogen tank includes a tank vessel configured with an enclosed interior space for storing an admixture of carbon dioxide and gaseous hydrogen; and a tank port configured to fluidly contact the interior space of the tank vessel and including a semipermeable membrane, which is configured substantially permeable for the gaseous hydrogen and substantially impermeable for the carbon dioxide and is arranged to seal the tank vessel against the outside. The gaseous hydrogen can enter and leave the tank vessel through the tank port via the semipermeable membrane but carbon dioxide is kept in the tank vessel.

Abstract: A method for energy management of a motor vehicle carrying a container powered by an auxiliary power unit is provided. The method comprises determining total energy resources available on the motor vehicle for propulsion of the motor vehicle and for powering the container; determining a first energy fraction of the total energy resources required to power the container with the auxiliary power unit along a route of the motor vehicle; determining a second energy fraction of the total energy resources required to power at least one main motor of the motor vehicle to reach a target destination with the motor vehicle along the route of the motor vehicle; and reallocating at least a fraction of the total energy resources from the auxiliary power unit to the at least one main motor of the motor vehicle or vice versa depending on the first energy fraction and the second energy fraction.

Abstract: A system and method for treating an engine exhaust is provided. In particular, waste heat from an engine exhaust is stored in a latent heat storage structure through a controllable heat exchanger and a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalytic converter is heated by the stored thermal energy in the latent heat storage structure using the controllable heat exchanger. The exhaust treatment system includes a selective catalytic reduction catalytic converter that has an inlet for connecting to an internal combustion engine to intake an engine exhaust and an outlet to output a catalytically treated engine exhaust. The system further includes a latent heat storage structure and a controllable heat exchanger for selectively exchanging heat to and from the catalytic converter and the latent heat storage structure.

Abstract: A system for exhaust gas after-treatment may include a catalytic converter with an entrance surface and an exit surface, a substrate disposed between the entrance surface and the exit surface, wherein the substrate is configured to conduct the exhaust gas after-treatment at a predetermined temperature and at least one cover element disposed on the entrance surface, and wherein the at least one cover element is configured to at least partially close or at least partially open the entrance surface in relation to the predetermined temperature of the substrate.

Abstract: A high pressure fuel supplying apparatus of an engine may include a chain case configured to enclose a chain which transfers power from a crankshaft of the engine to a valve camshaft, a pump housing part integrated with the chain case, and a pumping rotating body directly driven by the chain and forming a reciprocating linear displacement within the pump housing part.

Abstract: An integrated high pressure pump with a cylinder block may include the cylinder block having a crank shaft positioned therein and a pump hole having a predetermined diameter formed in a direction perpendicular to a length direction of the crank shaft, and a tappet guide part seated to be inserted along the pump hole to connect the cylinder block and a high pressure pump device to each other, in which the high pressure pump device is provided with a tappet moved along an inner portion of the tappet guide part, such that turning force of the crank shaft is directly transferred thereto.

Abstract: A device for actuating a valve of a valve assembly of an engine and for adjusting a stroke of the valve, may include a camshaft including a cam, a working curve member provided pivotably about the camshaft for actuating the valve, a lever holder which is provided pivotably about the camshaft, a lever, one end of which is spaced from the camshaft with a predetermined distance and pivotally coupled to the lever holder, and a connecting link pivotally connected to the lever and the working curve member.
