An intake manifold section for installing in an intake system of an internal combustion engine may have a tube body including an inlet opening, an outlet opening and a fresh air path section running from the inlet opening to the outlet opening. An air mass sensor may be fastened to the tube body and protrude into the fresh air path section. A bypass channel may be disposed on the tube body and bypass the fresh air path section connected to a blow-by gas path at an inlet side.

Intake manifold section and intake system

A fuel-injection system for injection of fuel into an internal combustion engine includes at least one fuel injector and a first fuel-distributor line which is connected to the at least one fuel injector. A second fuel-distributor line is provided which is connected to the at least one fuel injector via an individual corresponding lance.

Fuel-injection system and method for injecting fuel

In a fuel supply arrangement for supplying fuel from a fuel tank to the fuel injectors of an internal combustion engine by an electrically operated fuel pump, a first fuel pressure level adequate for normal engine operation is provided by the fuel pump and means are provided for increasing the fuel injection pressure provided by the pump for supplying fuel at a higher pressure level to the fuel injectors during an engine start-up or warm-up phase.

Arrangement for supplying fuel to the fuel injectors of an internal combustion engine

A method for producing a filter element includes forming longitudinal ducts extending between upstream and downstream surfaces of the filter element, and installing a heating element for heating regions of walls of the ducts along longitudinal extent of the walls. The filter element is arranged inside an injection valve of an internal combustion engine.

Injection valve

In a fuel supply system for an internal combustion engine in which a gas delivery pump, a fuel pump and an electric motor are included in the fuel supply system and form a pump unit, the electric motor is incorporated in the system in such a way that it can selectively drive either one or both of the pumps.

Fuel supply system including a pump unit

In a fuel supply system for an internal combustion engine having two separate storage containers for liquid fuels, both connected to a first controllable valve which is connected, via a connecting line including a fuel pump to an inlet of a second controllable valve having two outlets in communication by separate fuel lines with a fuel injection nozzle of the internal combustion engine, each of the two separate fuel lines includes a fuel pressure regulator, one being in communication with one and the other with the other of the two separate fuel storage containers for returning exess fuel to the fuel storage container from which fuel is being supplied to the fuel injection nozzle.

Fuel supply system for an internal combustion engine

A dual component injector, especially for internal combustion engines, has a nozzle body, which has a nozzle outlet, and a valve needle for opening and closing the nozzle outlet. A first feed channel is used for supplying a first fluid to the nozzle outlet, and a second feed channel is used for supplying a second fluid to the nozzle outlet. Optionally, a fluid chamber, which is located in the nozzle body, is connected to the nozzle outlet. The second feed channel is connected to the fluid chamber or to the first feed channel via at least two bored holes. The bored holes open out in the fluid chamber or in the first feed channel in such a way that the second fluid produces a swirling flow pattern in the fluid chamber or in the first feed channel.

Dual component injector

A device for liquefying fuel fractions which are in vapour form in fuel tanks (), having a suction device (), a pump (), a condensation device () and a separation and storage device (). This device has a regulation device, with the aid of which the fraction-air mixture (), which is displaced by the fuel (), flowing in during the refuelling of the fuel tank () and/or a fraction-air mixture () which is produced by air injection by means of an air-injection device () can be sucked out and separated.

Device for liquefication of vaporous fuel fractions in fuel tanks

An internal combustion engine having one injection valve ( ) per cylinder and at least one additional port injector ( ) for injecting fuel into combustion air which is fed to the cylinders ( ) in the intake tract ( ). The port injector ( ) havs two supply inlets ( ) which can be closed off. A control unit ( ) determines the quantity of fuel which is to be delivered as a function of the operating state of the internal combustion engine ( ). Separately provided starting fuel is delivered by the port injector ( ) during the warm-up phase of the internal combustion engine.

Internal combustion engine and method for operating an internal combustion engine

A process for the desulfurization of an engine fuel onboard a motor vehicle includes separating sulfur-containing components of the engine fuel by selective liquid-phase adsorption on an adsorption material. The adsorption material may be an oxide of Al, Mg, Si, or Ti that is doped with Ag.

Method for desulphurizing engine fuel on board a motor vehicle

A method for heating a fuel flowing through an injection valve into a combustion space of an internal combustion engine includes conveying fuel through ducts of a filter element arranged in the fuel flow, heating walls of the throughflow ducts at least in certain regions along their longitudinal extent, and introducing heat from the walls into the fuel.

An internal combustion engine has a preparation device for fuel, for the purpose of providing a starting fuel which comprises low-boiling fuel constituents. A catalytic converter is accommodated in an exhaust train of the internal combustion engine. After-treatment of the exhaust gases is carried out by a secondary air device, by means of the combustion being carried out with an excess of starting fuel for rich-burn operation during the cold start and the subsequent warm-up phase. The system is provided for spark-ignition mixture-compressing or spark-ignition direct injection internal combustion engines.

Internal combustion engine and method of operating same

A fuel fractionation device is provided for separating a low-boiling fuel fraction from a liquid fuel in an internal combustion engine, having a fuel tank which contains the liquid fuel and having a separator, to which an extracted fuel fraction mixture can be fed, and a reservoir to which the fuel fraction can be fed, and furthermore having a pump which extracts fuel vapor and air and has a pump drive. The pump and the pump drive are fixed in a housing and are accommodated removably in the fuel tank together with the separator and the reservoir, forming a structural unit.

Fuel fractionation device and method of making same

In a fuel fractionation device for separating a low-boiling fuel fraction from a liquid fuel of an internal-combustion engine, including a vessel which contains the liquid fuel, and in which a reduced pressure is generated by withdrawing the low-boiling fuel fraction in vapor form from the vessel and making it available to the internal combustion engine, the efficiency of the fractionation is improved by utilizing a carrier-gas which is introduced into the liquid fuel, and which is withdrawn from the vessel together with the fuel fraction vapor.

Fuel fractionation device

In a fuel supply system for an internal combustion engine including a fuel tank, a fuel processing apparatus to which fuel from the tank is supplied and which separates the fuel into different fractions, the fuel and the fractions are mixed in a mixing chamber according to a performance graph stored in a control unit depending on the operating state of the engine and the mixture is then supplied to the engine in a controlled manner.
