Abstract
A method ignites the combustion of fuel in a combustion chamber (5) of engine (2), by introducing microwave radiation into the combustion chamber (5). The microwave radiation is produced in a microwave source (7) on the outside of the combustion chamber (5). The introduced microwave radiation is absorbed by the fuel distributed in the combustion chamber (5). The supply of energy, in the fuel, arising from absorption, distributes combustion in a large-volume in the combustion chamber (5), preferably in the entire combustion chamber (5) and in a homogenous manner, and is essentially simultaneously ignited. An associated ignition device (1) and an associated engine (2) are also provided.
Claims15
A method of producing and filling containers, comprising the steps of:
- extruding a tube of softened plastic material into an open mold;
- closing the tube at a projecting end thereof by closing the mold to form a bottom of a container;
- separating the tube above the mold by a separating element to form a filler opening;
- moving the mold with the tube having the filler opening in the mold into a filling position;
- after the tube is formed into the container by generating a pressure gradient acting on the tube in the mold to expand the tube, filling the container through the filler opening;
- sealing the filler opening;
- covering the filler opening by a sterile barrier at least from a formation time for the filler opening to filling of the tube;
- and
- conveying at least one sterile medium in a direction of the filler opening from the sterile barrier by a media delivery device.
A device for producing and filling containers, comprising:
- at least one mold having mold parts movable between open and closed positions;
- an extruder for extruding at least one tube of softened plastic material in said mold with said mold parts in said open positions;
- welding edges on said mold parts for welding a projecting end of the tube to form a container bottom;
- a pressure gradient generator acting on and expanding the tube in said mold;
- a movable separating element for forming a filler opening by separating the tube, said separating element being movable above the mold between a retracted position and an operating position;
- a filling device in a sterile filling space;
- a displacement device moving said mold between an extrusion position below said extruder and a filling position below said filling device in said sterile filling space;
- a sterile barrier covering the filler opening of the tube in said mold from formation thereof to filling of the tube in said sterile filling space;
- and
- a media deliverer, coupled to said sterile barrier, for conveying sterile medium in a direction of the filler opening.
