Abstract: An internal combustion engine is provided, including at least one crankcase, at least one oil pump, at least one oil filter, at least one oil circuit, at least one control valve, and at least one device for separating particulate contaminants from a fluid flow, in particular for separating contaminants from the crankcase of the internal combustion engine, this fluid or oil flow to be purified having at least one containment for receiving the contaminants.

Abstract: A reciprocating internal combustion engine having a line of cylinders arranged in parallel which are joined via connecting rods and pistons by means of a crank drive that is jointly mounted in a crankshaft bearing, whereby the crankshaft bearing of the crank drive can have been offset relative to the cylinder axis.

Abstract: This invention relates to a reciprocating internal combustion engine having a cylinder crankcase in which a crankshaft is rotatably supported, to which crankshaft there is flexibly joined at least one connecting rod having a piston guided in a cylinder liner, the crankcase having fittings of an oil circulation system and various attached parts in a number independent of the number of cylinders. The crankcases with various numbers of cylinders can be cast, machined and assembled at the lowest possible cost because groups of fittings and attached parts have spacings to one of the two ends of the various cylinder crankcases (1) that remain constant.

Abstract: An oil-cooled or oil-air-cooled reciprocating internal combustion engine having a cylinder crankcase provided with oil fittings which are manufacturable at a low cost and are accessible for servicing, adjustment and replacement from the exterior of the engine.

Abstract: This invention relates to a reciprocating internal combustion engine having a cylinder crankcase with a cylinder head with is designed to reduce the manufacturing and spare parts cost. A single design unified cylinder head is employed for liquid cooling and air cooling, the cylinder head having both cooling spaces for the liquid coolant and cooling fins for the cooling air. Coolant passageways in the cylinder head are connected to coolant spaces in the cylinder block portion of the cylinder crankcase by way of openings in the upper end of the cylinder block and openings in the cylinder head gasket which permit flow of coolant to the annuli in the cylinder head. In addition to the annuli, the coolant passageways in the cylinder head include a longitudinally extending header, horizontally extending web ducts extending radially inward from the annuli and vertically extending connecting conduits inclined relative to the cylinder axes interconnecting the web ducts and the header.

Abstract: A reciprocating internal combustion engine having a cylinder crankcase and a ventilation device for said crankcase, which ventilation device is in fluid flow relation with an oil-gas distribution line in a cylinder head.The fluid flow connections between the ventilation device (3) and the interior of the cylinder crankcase (1) and between the ventilation device (3) and the oil-gas distribution line is effected solely by flow passages internal to the engine.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine which each cylinder has a cylinder cooling space and each cylinder head has a head cooling space, the individual cylinder cooling spaces being connected in series, the individual head cooling spaces being connected in series and the cylinder cooling spaces, as a group, cooling spaces, as a group, being connected in series. The engine includes a lubrication oil system which supplies cooling oil to the cylinder and head cooling spaces as well as supplying lubricating oil to lubricate other components such as the bearings for the crankshaft, the crankshaft and the piston connecting the rods.

Abstract: A connecting passageway is provided between a cooling air fan and an enclosure for an enclosed belt drive of an internal-combustion engine, whereby the belt drive is cooled by a cool-air stream diverted from the cooing fan.The connecting passageway is made as an air shaft, which is formed largely from existing parts of the internal-combustion engine and, in addition, is arranged in such a fashion that it has no parts protruding beyond the outer counter of the engine.

Abstract: A centrifugal governor for an internal combustion engine having a bosshead (2) which can be displaced axially along a governor driving shaft (1) by centrifugal weights (3) and a governor lever (7), the pivoted position of which is controlled by the axial movement of the bosshead (2). Axial motion of the bosshead (2) is converted to pivotal motion of the governor lever (4) by a pair of bearings (5) mounted on the latter and having outer raceways (6) which roll on the bosshead (2).

Abstract: A mechanical governor for an internal combustion engine with a measuring element optimized with respect to weight and working capacity. The governor sleeve is of a thin-walled, light weight construction and centrifugal weights are provided which have stops to prevent collision and entanglement with the governor sleeve. The bearing pins for the centrifugal weights are located near the radially outer circumference of the governor configuration.

Abstract: A governor for injection pumps of diesel internal combustion engines in which the injection amount is controlled by the boost pressure. The governor is mounted directly on the crank casing of the internal combustion engine together with an electromagnet which is energized at startup. The governor and the electromagnet transmit thrust and motion to the control rod of the injection pump through the same lever system. The electromagnet is switched in such a way that it overrides the governor during the engine starting process. The lever system is constructed to produce a nonlinear transmission of the movement of the membrane to the control rod.

Abstract: A disc-shaped centrifugal weight support (2) for a centrifugal force governor having recesses (3) for accepting knife-edge supported centrifugal weights (4) maintained in an assembled relationship by abutment means such as a ring (7) to form a single-unit mountable assembly.

Abstract: A device for regulating the delivery timing of injector pump elements is presented, whereby the injection pump elements are actuated by a camshaft of the internal combustion engine, said camshaft also being simultaneously employed to operate the intake and exhaust valves. All the cams are nonrotatably secured to the camshaft and the entire camshaft is rotatively adjusted relative to the crankshaft by a delivery timing regulator.
