Of Or By Motor Cooling, Ventilation, Or Brake System Patents (Class 60/708)
  • Patent number: 11280233
    Abstract: The ventilator-equipped engine is configured to: guide a blow-by gas generated in a crankcase to an intake passage through an inside of a cylinder head, an inside of a head cover, and a pressure regulating valve; and to directly introduce fresh air into an internal space of the cylinder head by providing a fresh air introduction passage that extends across the intake passage and the cylinder head.

  • Patent number: 7805206
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for increasing the capacity of an installation used to carry out an industrial process in an economical and sustainable manner. Said method consists of the following steps: process variables relevant to the capacity of the installation are determined; said process variables are monitored during variable operating conditions of the installation; and a very small control reserve of the control loops of the installation is established on the basis of the monitored process variables.

  • Patent number: 6651436
    Abstract: A control apparatus for a hybrid vehicle of the present invention determines whether a brake switch flag F_BKSW is “1” or not (step S101), and in the case where the brake is on (“yes”), obtains a deceleration regeneration computation value DECRGN by table retrieval from a #REGENBR table. In the case where the brake is off (“no”), it is determined whether a fuel supply cut delay time regeneration flag F_RGNFCD is “1” or not (step S104). In the case where regeneration is not performed in the fuel supply cut delay time (“no”), a deceleration regeneration computation value DECRGN is obtained by table retrieval from a #REGEN table (step S105). On the other hand, in the case where regeneration is performed in the fuel supply cut delay time (“yes”), a deceleration regeneration computation value DECRGN is obtained by table retrieval from a #RGNNFCD table (step S106).

  • Patent number: 5740677
    Abstract: A method and a plant for combined production of electricity and fresh water in a stand-alone plant of the wind/diesel type. The method enables the simultaneous production of electricity and fresh water with optimal use of the various units of the plant under all conditions of operation by optimally utilizing the wind energy and minimizing fuel consumption. A continuously operating diesel engine controls the line frequency and the power supply without any energy being accumulated. A preferred embodiment of the plant includes a first closed fluid circuit and a second open fluid circuit, the first closed circuit including at least an electric heating unit receiving energy from a wind turbine, an internal-combustion engine, preferably a diesel engine, and a distillation unit. The distillation unit constitutes a unit common to the first closed and the second open circuits.

  • Patent number: 5528901
    Abstract: An auxiliary power assembly (5) for use with a heavy-duty diesel engine (8) of the type used in the trucking industry and including a small auxiliary diesel engine (9), an air compressor (10), a compressed air accumulator (17) fluid coupled to the air compressor (10), and a pneumatic starter (21) fluid coupled to the accumulator (17) and mechanically coupled to start the heavy-duty diesel engine (8). The auxiliary power assembly (5) further drives: a coolant pump (51) connected to circulate coolant between the auxiliary engine (9) and main diesel engine (8), a refrigerant compressor (41) formed to pump air conditioning fluid from the main diesel engine air conditioning system to the vehicle cab (70), and a pre-oiler pump (83) used to pressurize lubricating oil in the main engine (8). A method of operating the overall assembly and for retrofitting an existing heavy-duty diesel engine (8) with the auxiliary power assembly (5) also are disclosed.
