The valve train is the “respiratory organ” of combustion engines: it manages the aspiration of fresh air and the discharge of exhaust gases (gas exchange). The basic principle of the valve train—for both intake and exhaust side—is an asymmetric hydraulic pendulum, which can be described as a mass-spring-system. Image: Empa.

The use of renewable energy sources will ensure that the plant is supplied with 100% CO 2 -free electricity. Most of the electricity comes from a solar system on the plant’s grounds. Another measure to save energy is the recovery of waste heat from the thermal exhaust air purification systems (Ecopure TAR) of the ovens.
