FUEL SUPPLY DEVICE FOR LPDI ENGINE AND START CONTROL METHOD OF LPDI ENGINE HAVING THE FUEL SUPPLY DEVICE
A fuel supply device for a liquefied petroleum direct injection (LPDI) engine in which liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is directly injected into a combustion chamber and a start control method of an LPDI engine having the fuel supply device, wherein the high pressure fuel pump receives and compresses fuel to a pressure higher than a pressure at which fuel has been supplied, wherein the high pressure fuel rail buffers and supplies fuel to a direct injector that injects fuel directly into a combustion chamber, wherein the return line is connected to the supply line through the high pressure fuel pump to form a low pressure line, allowing a surplus portion of fuel supplied to the high pressure fuel pump from the fuel tank to return to the fuel tank, and wherein a first valve is disposed on the return line to control the flow rate of returning fuel.
A system having at least two cryogenic containers for providing a fluid
The invention relates to a system for providing a fluid, comprising at least a first and a second cryogenic container for storing the fluid, wherein the system comprises a first retrieval line connecting to the first cryogenic container for retrieving a first mass flow (M1) of fluid and a second retrieval line connecting to the second cryogenic container for retrieving a second mass flow (M2) of fluid, wherein the system comprises means, which are configured to establish two mass flows (M1, M2) of different dimensions such that in a first operational mode a hold time of the two cryogenic containers converges upon retrieval and/or in a second operational mode the hold time of the two cryogenic containers essentially decreases at the same rate if the hold times of the two cryogenic containers are essentially equal.
INTEGRATED THROTTLE - FUEL MIXER
A fuel delivery arrangement for a generator can include a throttle-mixing assembly including a mixer body defining a main port extending between an air inlet end and a mixed air-fuel outlet end and defining a fuel inlet port extending into the main port, a Venturi structure located within the main port and being configured to mix fuel received from the fuel inlet port with air received from the air inlet end and to deliver an air-fuel mixture to the air-fuel outlet, a fuel control valve assembly, mounted to the mixer body, including a first valve and a first actuator arranged to control a flow of the fuel passing through the fuel inlet port, and a throttle control valve assembly, mounted to the mixer body, including a second valve and a second actuator arranged to control a flow of the air-fuel mixture passing through the main port.
Heat pump
A subcooler is made up of a plate type heat exchanger. The accumulator is located between a compressor and the subcooler in a width direction of an outdoor unit in a planar view. The subcooler overlaps with the accumulator in the width direction in the planar view. As a result, a compact heat pump can be provided when the subcooler is a plate type heat exchanger.
FUEL INJECTION DEVICE FOR AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE, IN PARTICULAR FOR A HYDROGEN COMBUSTION ENGINE
The invention relates to a fuel injection device for an internal combustion engine comprising at least one central rail which is in fluid communication with at least one primary fuel tank, characterized in that at least one auxiliary fuel pressure accumulator is provided, the internal volume of which is in communication with the central rail via at least one control valve in order to temporarily provide a simultaneous fuel supply to the central rail from the auxiliary fuel pressure accumulator and the primary fuel tank.
Isolation valve for spark-ignition piston engines
A valve comprising a stationary shell and a rotatable annular core is designed for installation on the block deck of a spark-ignition piston engine, with there being one valve installed on the engine's block for every cylinder in the block. Rotation of the annular core cyclically opens and closes the ignition pathway(s) extending between the internal volume of the valve's associated cylinder and the spark plug(s) initiating combustion within the cylinder, with the pathway(s) only being open during time intervals wherein the spark plug(s) are electrically activated as part of the engine's normal operating cycle. Control of the open-closed status of the ignition pathway(s) eliminates engine pre-fire events caused by hot points on the spark plug(s). The valve also provides improved technology for directing and regulating the flow of fuel, oxidant, and exhaust gases as they are transferred into and out of the valve's associated cylinder.
GAS METERING VALVE FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES
A gas metering valve for an internal combustion engine. The gas metering valve includes a housing in which a gas chamber is formed, which includes an inlet opening and an outlet opening. A movable valve element is situated in the gas chamber, which is movable by an electrical actuator against the force of a return spring and which cooperates with a valve seat for opening and closing the inlet opening. A blocking valve is situated between the valve element and the outlet opening, which opens in the flow direction to the outlet opening and blocks in the opposite flow direction.
Internal combustion engine
An internal combustion engine with at least one combustion chamber, at least one fuel delivery line for the delivery of fuel to at least one combustion chamber, and at least one differential pressure control valve for controlling the pressure in the at least one fuel delivery line. The at least one differential pressure control valve is configured to perform a valve opening or valve closing movement based on a pressure difference between the at least one fuel delivery line and a reference volume having a reference pressure. The internal combustion engine further includes at least one pressure relief valve, separate from the at least one differential pressure control valve, and configured to open to cause a pressure relief in the reference volume and a decrease in the reference pressure if a drop occurs in the power to be performed by the internal combustion engine.
