Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
141 words
A diesel engine with an exhaust gas turbocharger and a compressed air starter, said turbocharger comprising a compressor and a turbine, the compressor communicating with a suction pipe (7) for sucking air into the compressor and with a pressure pipe (9) leading into a combustion chamber of the engine and the turbine communicating with an exhaust gas pipe (10) coming from the combustion chamber and with an exhaust outlet (11) leading into the open, and said compressed air starter being connected to mechanically drive a crankshaft (2) of the engine and having an exhaust air pipe (31) which is connected to drive the turbocharger (4) and to the combustion chamber of the engine, whereby during starting of the engine compressed air from the starter is fed to the combustion chamber and the turbocharger is driven by compressed air from the starter.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
141 words
A diesel engine with an exhaust gas turbocharger and a compressed air starter, said turbocharger comprising a compressor and a turbine, the compressor communicating with a suction pipe (7) for sucking air into the compressor and with a pressure pipe (9) leading into a combustion chamber of the engine and the turbine communicating with an exhaust gas pipe (10) coming from the combustion chamber and with an exhaust outlet (11) leading into the open, and said compressed air starter being connected to mechanically drive a crankshaft (2) of the engine and having an exhaust air pipe (31) which is connected to drive the turbocharger (4) and to the combustion chamber of the engine, whereby during starting of the engine compressed air from the starter is fed to the combustion chamber and the turbocharger is driven by compressed air from the starter.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
34 words
A diesel engine according to claim 1, wherein the compressed air from the compressed air starter (20) is directed to the compressor (5) of the turbocharger (4) by way of said suction pipe (7).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
35 words
A diesel engine according to claim 1, wherein the compressed air from the compressed air starter (20) is directed to the turbine (6) of the turbocharger (4) by way of said exhaust gas pipe (10).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
38 words
A diesel engine according to claim 1 wherein means are provided for mixing, with the compressed air from the compressed air starter (20), a substance that increases the ignition performance in the engine (1) during the starting process.
