A piston valve includes a body, a valve seat, an obturator in the form of a piston and a return spring. The body includes an envelope provided with at least one outlet orifice for the pressurised fluid, and an interior element that is attached in the envelope. The interior of the body carries the valve seat and provides the translational guidance of the obturator in the body. Furthermore, the interior element includes at least one window configured to guide the fluid from the valve seat towards the outlet orifice.

Pistons and piston assemblies for an internal combustion engine is provided. The piston assembly includes a piston coupled to a connecting rod with a piston pin. The piston pin includes a non-circular outer cross-sectional shape.

An engine piston having a piston upper part, a piston lower part connected to the piston upper part, a piston pin mounted in the piston lower part connects the piston to a connecting rod, and a first cooling space between the piston upper and lower parts for cooling oil. The first cooling space is connected to a second cooling space formed between the piston upper part and a piston lower part via at least one transfer bore, a cooling oil conduction sleeve for conducting cooling oil through a bore in the connecting rod towards the first cooling space. A guiding surface of the cooling oil conduction sleeve adjoins a support face of the piston lower part. At least one groove circulating in the circumferential direction is introduced into the guiding surface of the cooling oil conduction sleeve and/or into the support face of the piston lower part.

A piston for an internal combustion engine and a method for producing a piston are disclosed. The piston includes an upper piston part and a lower piston part that together delimit a circumferential cooling channel for receiving a cooling medium both radially inside and radially outside. The upper piston part and the lower piston part are connected to one another via a radially outer weld connection and a radially inner weld connection. The radially outer weld connection includes a radially outer weld bead that projects radially inwards into the cooling channel for forming a deflection element for the cooling medium received in the cooling channel.

A piston of an internal combustion engine may include a piston shaft and a piston head. The piston head may be provided with a closed cooling channel with a cooling medium arranged therein. The piston shaft may have a spherically round cross-sectional shape, wherein a deviation from the roundness with respect to a piston diameter may be less than 0.5 per thousand.

A cooling cavity is provided inside a piston of an internal combustion engine. Inlet/outlet holes of the cooling cavity are provided in a bottom surface of the piston. A first oil jet that sprays oil toward the inlet/outlet hole, a second oil jet that sprays oil toward a part different from the inlet/outlet hole are included. The first oil jet is caused to spray oil in preference to the second oil jet.
