Heat management system for electric vehicle
A heat management system disclosed herein is used for an electric vehicle. The heat management system may include an oil cooler, an oil pump, a converter cooler, a first heat exchanger, a second heat exchanger, a first channel, a second channel, a channel valve, a bypass channel, and a controller. The channel valve may be configured to select a first valve position and a second valve position. The bypass channel may be configured to allow the first heat medium to bypass the first heat exchanger and circulate between the oil cooler and the converter cooler when the second valve position is selected. The controller may be configured to control the channel valve such that the channel valve selects the first valve position and activate the oil pump in response to the temperature of the first heat medium in the first channel becoming higher than a predetermined upper limit temperature.
Lubricant system
A lubricant system for supplying lubrication to a component in a turbine engine includes a lubricant reservoir, a supply line fluidly coupling the lubricant reservoir to the component in the turbine engine, a scavenge line fluidly coupling the component to the lubricant reservoir, and a bypass line fluidly coupling the supply line to the scavenge line and bypassing the component.
ROTARY INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE WITH SEAL LUBRICATION
A rotary internal combustion engine with a housing having a fluid passage defined therethrough opening into a portion of its inner surface engaging each peripheral or apex seal of the rotor. An injector has an inlet for fluid communication with a pressurized lubricant source and a selectively openable and closable outlet in fluid communication with the fluid passage for delivering the pressurized lubricant to each seal through the fluid passage. A housing for a Wankel engine and a method of lubricating peripheral seals of a rotor in an internal combustion engine are also discussed.
Fracturing device
A fracturing device, including a power unit, wherein the power unit comprises a muffling compartment, a turbine engine, an air intake unit, and a starter; the air intake unit is communicated with the turbine engine through an intake pipe, and configured to provide a combustion-supporting gas to the turbine engine; the air intake unit is located at the top of the muffling compartment, the muffling compartment comprises an accommodation space, the turbine engine and the starter are located in the accommodation space, and the starter is configured to start the turbine engine, the starter comprises a first electric motor.
OIL DISTRIBUTION BLOCKS AND EXTERNAL OIL DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS COMPRISING THE SAME
Oil distribution blocks and oil distribution systems equipped therewith. Such an oil distribution block includes a rigid block body configured to be secured to a cylinder head of an engine, an oil inlet, and an oil outlet. The oil inlet is configured to be releasably coupled to a first oil distribution line or a fitting therebetween, receive a flow of oil therefrom, and route the oil to an inlet of a cooling passage of the cylinder head. The oil outlet is configured to be releasably coupled to a second oil distribution line or a fitting therebetween, receive a flow of oil from an outlet of the cooling passage of the cylinder head, and route the oil to the second oil distribution line. The oil inlet and the oil outlet are configured to threadably couple with the first and second oil distribution lines, respectively, or the fittings therebetween.
HEAT EXCHANGER
A heat exchanger core includes a medium inlet and a medium outlet for the heat transfer fluid to be cooled and a plurality of plates extending from a first end (A) to a second end (B) of the heat exchanger core and defining flow conduits therebetween from the medium inlet to the medium outlet. The core also has a plurality of fins between the plates for directing a coolant medium across the flow conduit. One of the flow conduits has a larger cross-section than the other flow conduits, and the inlet is provided at a first end of the one of the flow conduits adjacent the first end of the heat exchanger core, or between the first end and the second end.
Heat exchanger for the feeding of fuel in internal combustion engines
The heat exchanger comprises a first and a second stage (E1,E2), each having an inlet and an outlet of water, the second stage (E2) having an inlet and an outlet of oil, the first stage (E1) being provided with fuel inlet and outlet nozzles, selectively connected, in parallel, to the fuel supply to the engine (M). The inlet and outlet of water of the first stage (E1) are respectively connected to the outlet of the water radiator, by means of a cooling water circuit internal to the engine (M), and to the water inlet of the second stage (E2). The water outlet of the second stage (E2) is connected to the inlet of a water radiator, and the inlet and outlet of oil in the second stage (E2) are connected in series to a lubricant oil circuit internal to the engine (M).
Thermostatic bypass valve
A thermostatic bypass valve functions to regulate fluid temperature and also to act as a pressure relief valve using a single valve bore. The poppet valve includes a cylinder with a chamber that is thermally immersed in a source passageway such that the valve state is determined by the temperature of the fluid flowing through the source passageway as opposed to the fluid flowing through a return passageway. When the fluid in the source passageway is hot, a poppet is forced against the return passageway side of a valve seat. The poppet may either be rigidly attached to the cylinder or may slide with respect to the cylinder and be forced against the valve seat by a spring. A piston may either be rigidly attached to the housing or may be forced toward the valve seat by a spring.
APPARATUS FOR MONITORING AN OIL THERMOSTAT
The invention relates to an apparatus for monitoring an oil thermostat arranged in an oil circuit of an internal combustion engine. The apparatus comprises a sensor unit (4, 14b; 15) which is designed to determine at least one first parameter, by means of which a current setpoint operation of the oil thermostat (10) can be derived, and to determine at least one second parameter, by means of which a current actual operation of the oil thermostat (10) can be derived. The apparatus further comprises an evaluation device (40), which is designed to detect an onset of an error function of the oil thermostat (10) as a function of the first parameter and the second parameter.
QUICK OIL CHANGE FILTER AND ASSEMBLY
A filtration system includes a filter housing having a cavity and a base, a drain defined in the base, a channel defined in the base and in fluid communication with the drain, and a filter cartridge having a longitudinal axis and being movable between an installed position within the cavity of the filter housing and an uninstalled position outside the cavity of the filter housing. The channel defines an outer diameter. The filter cartridge includes a bottom endplate defining an outer diameter that is greater than the outer diameter of the channel so that, in the installed position, the bottom endplate covers the channel and prevents fluid flow from the cavity to the drain, and a filter media extending axially outwardly from the bottom endplate.
