Title: Jan Gerrit Prunnbauer: Engine and Gas-System Innovations.

Introduction

Jan Gerrit Prunnbauer is an inventor associated with Lindau, Germany, and MTU Friedrichshafen GmbH. His patent work focuses on internal-combustion engines and gas-engine systems. He is named on 2 patents.

Latest Patents

Prunnbauer’s listed patents address combustion control and the management of gas in engine systems.

“Internal combustion engine and method for operating an internal combustion engine” describes an engine with a combustion chamber divided into a main chamber and a prechamber, connected by at least one bore. A fuel-intermixing region in the charging path receives fuel through a controllable valve. A check valve connects this region with the prechamber, providing a defined route for fluid communication.

“Gas engine assembly” concerns a gas-engine arrangement with a gas rail supplied with fuel gas through a gas-control section. A purge line enters the gas rail, and the system can supply either fuel gas or a second gas through that line. This arrangement displaces gas from the rail and discharges it through the supply path.
