20120055425 | ENGINE CONFIGURATION FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE - An engine configuration for a motor vehicle is provided that has an internal combustion engine having direct fuel injection, which is thermally coupled to a cooling circuit to dissipate waste heat occurring in operation, and having a storage unit, which can be coupled to the cooling circuit, for storing thermal energy, which is implemented for the purpose of discharging store thermal energy to the cooling circuit and/or to the engine before the engine is put into operation and/or during a warm-up phase thereof. | 03-08-2012 |
20120240882 | Dual Use Cooling Systems - Cooling systems and methods of use are disclosed. A particular method includes routing at least a first portion of a coolant stream from a first heat exchanger to a second heat exchanger to receive heat from a hot side of a thermoelectric cooling device. The method also includes cooling one or more electronic devices using a cold side of the thermoelectric cooling device. The method also includes routing at least a second portion of the coolant stream to an engine. | 09-27-2012 |
20130019821 | MECHANICAL COMBUSTION ENGINE COOLANT PUMP - A mechanical combustion engine coolant pump for pumping a coolant for an internal combustion engine includes a stationary cylindrical support body. A rotatable driving wheel is supported by a driving wheel roller bearing at the stationary cylindrical support body. The rotatable driving wheel is configured to be driven by the internal combustion engine. A pump wheel is arranged at a rotatable rotor shaft. The pump wheel is supported by a shaft roller bearing at the stationary cylindrical supporting body. A switchable friction clutch is configured to couple the rotatable driving wheel with the pump wheel. The stationary cylindrical support body integrally comprises an inner ring of the driving wheel roller bearing. The stationary cylindrical support body integrally comprises an outer ring of the shaft roller bearing. | 01-24-2013 |
20140190428 | GEAR DEVICE AND VEHICLE HAVING SAME MOUNTED THEREON - A gear device in which lubricating oil for cooling and lubricating gears to be driven therein is adjusted to a temperature and an amount suitable for the speed of a vehicle, and a vehicle having the gear device mounted thereon. A transmission adjusts the temperature of lubricating oil by supplying the lubricating oil from a lower part of a housing of the transmission into a heat exchanger by a circulation pump and causing the lubricating oil and engine cooling water to exchange heat with each other in the heat exchanger. A level of the lubricating oil retained in an oil pan when the circulation pump is stopped is defined as a highest oil level, while the level of the lubricating oil retained in the oil pan when the amount of the lubricating oil pumped up by the circulation pump is maximum is defined as a lowest oil level. The heat exchanger is disposed at a position outside the housing and higher than the highest oil level. The transmission includes a device which controls the amount of the oil to be pumped up by the lubricating pump to adjust the height of the level of the oil which varies between the highest oil level and the lowest oil level. | 07-10-2014 |
20140305393 | COMPRESSION RELIEF VALVE - An engine includes a cylinder head and a cylinder block connected to the cylinder head at an interface. A compression relief valve is substantially inset in the cylinder head of the engine. The compression relief valve is connected to an engine control module via a wire harness. The compression relief valve includes a body having a bore. Further, the compression relief valve includes a needle inset in the bore. The compression relief valve includes a compression relief valve sensor assembly disposed in at least one of the body or the needle. The compression relief valve sensor assembly is configured to generate a cylinder head temperature signal proportional to a cylinder head temperature at the interface. | 10-16-2014 |
