An exhaust gate, in particular for a heavy-goods vehicle, has a housing, which has an inlet and first and second outlets, on which first and second valve seats are formed, and a valve flap, which can be pivoted between the two valve seats to close the first or second outlet. The housing is formed as a cast part, which connects the inlet and at least the first outlet integrally to each other. The valve flap has a larger cross section than the inlet and the first and second valve seats.

Exhaust gate

In a direct-injection spark-ignition internal combustion engine having one injector per cylinder for injecting fuel into a combustion chamber, wherein the injector has an injection nozzle with a plurality of injection holes which are distributed over its circumference, so that the jets of fuel from the injection holes form during an injection process a conical cloud of fuel, the piston opposite the injection nozzle includes a piston recess provided with a plurality of radial cavities extending from the recess radially into the piston head for receiving fuel injected into the combustion chamber.

Direct-injection spark-ignition internal combustion engine

In a fuel injector for a direct-injection internal combustion engine comprising an injection nozzle, on the circumference of which a plurality of injection orifices are arranged so as to line up with one another, to form an orifice arrangement for the formation of an essentially conical fuel cloud from the individual fuel jets of the respective injection orifices the nozzle orifice locations are displaced so as to form a recess in the jet envelope in an area where a spark plug is located into which the spark plug extends so as to safely ignite the fuel cloud without getting wetted by the fuel.
