20110220046 | CAM SHAFT PHASE SETTER COMPRISING A CONTROL VALVE FOR HYDRAULICALLY ADJUSTING THE PHASE POSITION OF A CAM SHAFT - A cam shaft phase setter including a control valve for controlling the feeding and draining of a hydraulic fluid into and out of a pressure chamber which serves to adjust the rotational angular position of a cam shaft relative to a crankshaft of an internal combustion engine. The control valve includes a valve housing with an operating port to the pressure chamber and a reservoir port to a reservoir for the fluid. A valve piston is axially adjustable back and forth in the valve housing between a first position and a second position and includes an axial hollow space, a piston inlet for introducing the fluid into the hollow space, and a piston outlet which leads out of the hollow space and is connected to the operating port in the first position of the valve piston and separated from the operating port in the second position of the valve piston. An actuating unit is coupled to the valve piston for axially adjusting the valve piston. A coupling member protrudes through an axially facing closure wall which closes off the valve housing and couples the actuating unit to the valve piston. The valve piston includes a radial widening which is surrounded by a complementarily widened housing portion of the valve housing and to which the fluid can be applied in an axial direction pointing away from the axially facing closure wall in order to generate an axial pressure force. The widening is dimensioned such that the fluid acts on the valve piston with a pressure force of at least substantially equal size in both axial directions, despite the coupling member. | 09-15-2011 |

20140050562 | ROTARY PUMP EXHIBITING AN ADJUSTABLE DELIVERY VOLUME, IN PARTICULAR FOR ADJUSTING A COOLANT PUMP - An adjustable delivery volume rotary pump, including: first and second housing structures; a delivery chamber comprising a first chamber wall formed by the first housing structure, a second chamber wall formed by the second housing structure, a fluid inlet in a low-pressure region and a fluid outlet in a high pressure region; a pump wheel rotatable about a rotational axis in the delivery chamber; and a pressing device for generating pressing force. The second housing structure can be moved relative to the first housing structure from a first to a second position, against the pressing force. In the second position, a gap exists between the first and the second chamber walls and fluid can escape from the delivery chamber by bypassing the inlet and the outlet, or a circulation of the fluid which reduces the delivery rate of the rotary pump arises in the gap within the delivery chamber. | 02-20-2014 |
20140199199 | Gas Pump With Pressure Relief for Reducing the Starting Torque - A gas pump including a delivery chamber with an inlet and an outlet for a gas; a first housing part with a first sealing surface which at least partially surrounds the delivery chamber; a second housing part with a second sealing surface which at least partially surrounds the delivery chamber, wherein the second housing part together with the first housing part at least partially encloses the delivery chamber; a delivery device which can be moved within the delivery chamber, for delivering the gas; and a pressing device which presses one of the housing parts against the other with a pressing force, such that the sealing surfaces abut each other and together form a sealing join which at least partially surrounds the delivery chamber, in order to seal off the delivery chamber, wherein the second housing part can be moved relative to the first housing part, against the pressing force, in order to be able to widen the sealing join to form a relieving gap through which liquid situated in the delivery chamber can escape. | 07-17-2014 |

20080296212 | Centrifuge For Cleaning a Liquid - The invention relates to a centrifuge for the cleaning of a liquid, in particular a lubricant oil of an internal combustion engine. Said centrifuge comprises a housing, at least one bearing element on the housing side and a rotor which is rotatably mounted thereon. The rotor is composed of at least two parts, an inner part for accommodating the bearing and a part for retaining impurities in an impurity collection zone, wherein said part may be detached from the inner part for maintenance of the centrifuge. The centrifuge is characterized in that the/each bearing element is an element composed of a first bearing material and comprises one or more first smooth bearing surfaces. The inner part, embodied as a single piece, is made of a second bearing material and provided with one or more second smooth bearing surfaces. First and second bearing surfaces cooperate directly among each other, and the first and second bearing materials form a pair of smooth bearing materials. | 12-04-2008 |
20090199826 | DEVICE FOR ELIMINATING OIL PARTICLES FROM THE CRANKCASE VENTILATION GAS IN AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE - A device for eliminating oil particles from the crankcase ventilation gas of an internal combustion engine. The device is located in the flow duct of the gas that runs from the crankcase to an induction tract of the engine. The device includes an oil separator in the form of an outlet for the gas with a deflection of the flow, causing the oil particles to be deposited on a baffle surface and thus to be eliminated from the crankcase ventilation gas flow. The device has an infeed cross-section, which lies upstream of the baffle surface when viewed from the flow direction of the crankcase ventilation gas, and which is sub-divided into several infeed sub-sections. The baffle surface is a solid surface that is devoid of perforations. The baffle surface is configured on a valve body, which lies downstream of the infeed sub-sections when viewed in the flow direction of the gas, and which is pre-tensioned by a force. The valve body can be displaced in the opening direction in opposition to the pre-tension, as a result of the differential pressure in the gas between the crankcase and the induction tract. | 08-13-2009 |
