A tensioner for endless driving elements, such as chains and belts, comprising a tensioning piston provided with locking means, and a locking piston which is adapted to be engaged with and disengaged from the locking means so as to arrest or release the movement of tensioning piston, the locking piston comprising an operating section causing locking piston to move to the arresting position and to the release position, and a locking area used for engagement with the locking means of the tensioning piston and arranged separately from the operating section.

Chain-tensioner with mechanical locking

The invention concerns a device to convey and/or spray free-flowing media, in particular fluids, which works in accordance with the energy storage principle and is designed as an electromagnetically-powered reciprocating pump with at least one armature device as a drive element, whereby the armature device includes at least two armature elements and the armature elements are assigned magnetically corresponding yoke elements.

Device for delivering and/or spraying flowable media, especially fluids

A method for electronic trimming of at least one fluid injection pump, in which a control signal which is corrected for injection pump operation and, preferably, a control signal which is corrected for engine operation as well are determined by a control module of an electronic control device and are used for operation of the fluid injection pump, and in which, furthermore, a fluid injection pump is used which operates on the energy storage principle and whose feed characteristic follows an at least third-order polynomial identically or at least largely approximately and the parameters are determined in predetermined standard conditions for an at least third-order standard polynomial, are stored and are used in the determination of the required fuel injection quantity.

Method for electronically trimming for an injection apparatus

A method and apparatus for controlling the ignition in an internal combustion engine with a device for injecting fuel into a combustion chamber of the engine is provided, in which a control signal for the injection process and a control signal for the ignition process are used. The control signal for the injection process is used to start the measurement of a predetermined.

Method and apparatus for controlling the ignition point in internal combustion engines

A process for controlling the ignition in an internal combustion engine with a device for injecting fuel into a combustion chamber of the engine is provided, in which a control signal for the injection process and a control signal for the ignition process are used. The control signal for the injection process is used to start the measurement of a predetermined delay for the issue of the ignition control signal, as well as for the speed or load dependent switching to the ignition through the measurement of the crankshaft angle.

Process for controlling the ignition point in internal combustion engines

An internal combustion engine assembly including an internal combustion engine including an engine block having at lest one cylinder, a piston mounted within the cylinder for reciprocal movement in the cylinder, a fuel injector for injecting fuel into the cylinder, the fuel injector initiating a fuel injection event at a predetermined time and a circuit for generating a spark in the cylinder a predetermined amount of time after the injection event to cause combustion of fuel in the cylinder.

Time delay ignition circuit for an internal combustion engine

Two-stroke engine piston bowl configurations

A fuel injector nozzle includes a nozzle body and a poppet disposed in the body for reciprocating movement. The body has an internal bore surrounding the poppet. The internal bore tapers in a constant angle of taper from a front seating region to a fuel reservoir region. The poppet has a corresponding surface which diverges slightly from the bore. The surfaces of the bore and poppet form flow control surfaces which terminate in a sharp-edged orifice at the front face of the nozzle. When the poppet is displaced to an open or flow position, fuel is accelerated to the orifice and atomized into a combustion chamber.

Fuel injector for internal combustion engines and method for making same

A method of operating a two-stroke, spark-ignited, internal combustion engine in which the ignition is time-based controlled at low or idle speeds and is crank-angle-based controlled at higher speeds.

Method of operating a fuel injected engine

Oil burner

The invention relates to a method of operating an internal combustion engine and to an internal combustion engine respectively. In accordance with the method of operating an internal combustion engine in accordance with the invention fuel is injected into a combustion chamber so that it is reflected by a piston, as a result of which charge stratification occurs in the combustion chamber. Fresh air is inducted slightly throttled or not throttled at all into the combustion chamber irrespective of the loading condition of the internal combustion engine so that the exhaust gases from the previous working stroke are completely swept from the combustion chamber. The output of the internal combustion engine is generated substantially via the injected amount of fuel. Due to the method in accordance with the invention charge stratification is caused in which burning of the fuel/air mixture is ideal. The internal combustion engine in accordance with the invention thus features smooth running for ideal emission values.
