A water-conveying module for injecting water into a combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine, having a conveying unit, which has a pump for conveying the water from a tank. The water can be conveyed by the pump to an injection point along a dosing line. The conveying unit has a water outlet through which water is conveyed out of the conveying unit. The water outlet is formed by a connection plug onto which the dosing line can be plugged, Water can be conveyed from the conveying unit into the dosing line along the connection plug that has a section which can be flowed through by the water and which is part of the fluid line from the conveying unit to the dosing line.

The present subject matter provides a device and a method for injecting non-combustible fluid into an internal combustion. In order to reduce the non-combustible fluid consumption, the fluid to be injected is heated to a predefined temperature which improves the spray characteristics, reduces wall wetting and leads to a better vaporization of the fluid in the combustion chamber.

Various embodiments describe modifications to X-engines, which would utilize a dedicated chamber to implement bottoming Rankine cycle as well as additional improvements in sealing and combustion efficiency—all contributing to high efficiency. Improvements in sealing include a face seal having multiple surfaces.

The hydrogen production system for internal combustion engines includes an intake air scoop, a vacuum block having an air input port system for receiving air from the intake air scoop, a water reservoir connected to the vacuum block for providing water to be mixed with the air in the vacuum block, at least one primary generator assembly with an inlet port for receiving the air/water vapor mixture from the vacuum block and producing a mixture of hydrogen, produced oxygen, and fine hydrogen production vapor from a partially oxidized water fog, and a plurality of secondary hydrogen generator assemblies connected to the primary generator assembly for receiving this mixture. The engine vacuum draws this mixture into the intake manifold to provide an ideal fuel mixture for the engine.

A spark-ignition internal combustion engine has an air intake tract for supplying fresh air to a combustion chamber of the spark-ignition internal combustion engine, an exhaust tract for discharging exhaust gases from the combustion chamber, and a urea introduction device having a urea injection nozzle for introducing an aqueous urea solution into the combustion chamber. The urea injection nozzle is disposed in the combustion chamber or upstream of the combustion chamber in relation to an air flow from the air intake tract into the combustion chamber.

A method for reducing NOx emissions during operation of an internal combustion engine in commerce which, when burning hydrocarbon fuel as a primary fuel, in the absence of any secondary fuel, has a characteristic stoichiometric ration. The method includes the following: in the absence of electrolytic activity, providing and entraining a quenching species in a gaseous medium and then interacting the quenching species with constituents present during oxidation of the primary fuel in a combustion chamber of the engine.
