Petrol Engine

100%
The petrol engine remains the most widely used engine in passenger vehicles. By burning fuel, it converts chemical energy into thermal energy, which is then transformed into mechanical energy via pistons to drive the vehicle. combustor Function Structure Safety Environmental Impact Value Retention Like other internal combustion engines, the petrol engine converts chemical energy into motion, friction, and heat through combustion. It operates using petrol. During operation, the…

Engine block

100%
As the engine casing and cooling jacket, the engine block is the central element of an engine. In the combustor,hybrid Function Materials and design Tasks Distinction: engine block and crankcaseAs a central element of an internal combustion engine, alongside the cylinders, the engine block brings together the crankshaft bearing, and for water-cooled engines, the cooling jacket. The auxiliary units needed for the operation of the engine are also generally attached to the engine…

Engine mounts

100%
In vehicles, the engine mounts create the connection between the engine and the body. combustor,hybrid Function Safety Value retentionClassic engine mounts consist of a sophisticated combination of metal and elastomer. They create the connection between the engine/transmission package and the vehicle body and limit the movement of the drive due to the engine load, but also due to driving influences. Vibration and structure-borne noise from the drive is also prevented from being…

Engine oil

100%
In combustion engines, engine oil fulfils a number of purposes. One of the most important of these is to lubricate mechanical components. Lubrication reduces friction between moving parts and keeps... combustor,hybrid Environmental protection Function Safety DepreciationModern engine oils improve the overall efficiency of an engine, thereby helping to reduce emissions. Furthermore, modern engine oils which support ash-free combustion help to improve the functional reliability of…

Electronically switchable engine mount

100%
In vehicles, the engine mounts create a connection between the engine and the body. In contrast to conventional engine mounts, electronically switchable engine mounts can be actively controlled, and can thereby adapt to different situations. combustor,hybrid Function Functioning Safety Value retentionA car engine never vibrates evenly: when the vehicle is moving, different vibrations and noises are generated compared to when the engine is idling. This imposes complex…

Diesel Engine

100%
The diesel engine remains one of the most widely used engines today, as it is used in passenger cars, commercial vehicles, agricultural machinery, ships, and industrial applications. Like the petrol engine, the diesel engine converts chemical energy into thermal energy, which is then transformed into mechanical energy via pistons to drive the vehicle. combustor Function Construction Safety Environmental Considerations Value Retention Named after its inventor, Rudolf Diesel, the…
