Albertus is a motorcycle that was produced by Albertus Fahrzeugwerk AG in Achern ( Baden-Württemberg ) from 1922 to 1924. The engines were designed by Julius Löwy for operation with petroleum . They were also under the name Bafag ( B adic A lbertus F ahrzeugwerk AG sold).
Models
Patented two-stroke engines with a displacement of 113, 142 and 176 cm³ were used to drive the motorcycles . In addition, from 1924 in Kassel and Duisburg, Almora Motoren- und Fahrzeugbau AG manufactured motors with 327, 550 and 650 cm³ for use in cars or as a boat drive.
technology
The two-stroke engines used already had a piston without a nose and 3 transfer ports . The rear erector also served to form the mixture. The fuel was stored there with a nozzle. This nozzle was connected to a carburetor with two float chambers for benzene and petroleum. The engine was started on gasoline or benzene and then switched to petroleum. The combustion chamber was not cooled, ignition was initiated via a spark plug . In addition, the hot combustion chamber supports the mixture formation and reliable ignition. Since Julius Loewy was employed in Königsberg as the general representative of the Magdeburg Grade engine works from 1910 , the mixture formation is certainly inspired by the Grade system. System-related scavenging losses of the two-stroke engine can be reduced by the position of the fuel nozzle. Charge stratification is also possible.
