Internal combustion engine with at least one cylinder, in which a fuel/air mixture can be compressed in a cylinder by a piston, the temperature of the fuel/air mixture in the combustion chamber being able to be brought at least to over roughly 80% and up to at most roughly 98% of the spontaneous ignition temperature of the fuel/air mixture and the ignition of the combustion being time-controlled through the introduction of laser light into the combustion chamber.

Combustion engine

A method of regulating an internal combustion engine, in particular involving a lean-burn mode of operation, for achieving predeterminable nitrogen oxide emission values from the internal combustion engine, wherein the actual value of the &#x3bb;-value or the calorific value of a fuel-air mixture to be burnt in the internal combustion engine or a nitrogen oxide emission value is detected, preferably directly measured, and is regulated in dependence on a parameter which is characteristic of quality and/or quantity of the fuel supplied or in dependence on the power (P) delivered by the internal combustion engine.

Method of regulating an internal combustion engine

A method of regulating an internal combustion engine, in particular involving a lean-burn mode of operation, for achieving predeterminable nitrogen oxide emission values from the internal combustion engine, wherein the &#x3bb;-value of a fuel-air mixture to be burnt in the internal combustion engine or an equivalent engine parameter in a defined relationship with said &#x3bb;-value is regulated in dependence on the amount of fuel supplied per unit of time or in dependence on the fuel energy supplied per unit of time (Q).

Internal combustion engine with at least one cylinder, in which the combustion of a homogeneous air/fuel mixture compressed in the cylinder by a piston is initiated by a time-controlled external ignition, the air/fuel ratio of the air/fuel mixture in the combustion chamber () being greater than 1.9 and, for the time-controlled external ignition, at least one laser light source (), at least one optical transmission apparatus () and at least one coupling optic () for the focussing of laser light into a combustion chamber () being provided.

Internal combustion engine

An engine-generator arrangement comprising an internal combustion engine whose output shaft is connected to the drive shaft of the generator by way of an elastic coupling, wherein the engine casing of the internal combustion engine is connected elastically and preferably rubber-elastically to the generator casing of the generator.

Engine-generator arrangement

A bearing arrangement for supporting a movable component, in particular the crankshaft, of an internal combustion engine, having at least one bearing for receiving the component and an oil feed line to each bearing, wherein a filter ( ) is arranged in the oil feed line ( ) directly upstream of the bearing ( ).

Bearing arrangement for supporting a movable component, in particular the crankshaft of an internal combustion engine

An arrangement for determining the parameters of an internal combustion engine, in particular an Otto engine operating with gaseous fuels, has at least one optical sensor for observing the emission of light caused by the combustion in a combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine and at least one photodetector for converting the light emitted into electric signals which are processed in an evaluation unit. In order to achieve a rapid and accurate regulation, the evaluation unit has an arrangement for determining the maximum or mean intensity of the light emitted during each combustion cycle on the basis of the corresponding electric signal. The evaluation unit further has a regulating unit which regulates at least one engine parameter depending on the intensity maxima.
