Abstract:
An internal combustion engine of the four cycle reciprocating piston type wherein intake and exhaust of working fluid and combustible fuel into the engine cylinder is controlled by poppet valve means, while induction air is diverted by rotary valve means between intake and exhaust, said valve means being operated in timed relation with respect to each other at half crank shaft speed of rotation, utilizing blower induction of air as the working fluid which is diverted between intake and exhaust, and advantageously employing fuel injection through a valve plenum that is ported and through which the working fluid is controlled by the cooperatively timed rotary and poppet valve means.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process and an installation for obtaining thermal energy by the combustion of hydrogen in admixture with carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides and/or sulphur oxides in the presence of a magnesium catalyst which is a mixture of magnesium chips and powder. The process for obtaining the thermal energy according to the invention consists of a first stage wherein the combustion of hydrogen in admixture with carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides and/or sulphur oxides in the presence of the magnesium catalyst is performed in an enclosure with orifices for discharging the gases and the carbon and/or sulphur atoms, with the formation of MgO and water and a second stage wherein magnesium is regenerated in the same enclosure by introducing extra hydrogen. The installation for the application of the process comprises a housing (1] made of stainless steel whereupon a cover (3) is secured, said cover (3) being connected to a conduit for supplying hydrogen (2), said housing (1) comprising: a chamber for the uniform distribution of hydrogen [Ml]; a chamber for the uniform distribution of the mixture comprising carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides and/or sulphur oxides [M2]; a chamber [M3] for the homogenization of hydrogen in admixture with carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides and/or sulphur oxides; a catalyst chamber [14] wherein a magnesium catalyst [13] is placed as a mixture of chips and powder; copper or stainless steel pipes [7] and [8], respectively, which ensure the transport and uniform distribution of H2 and respectively of the mixture of carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides and/or sulphur oxides on the surface of the quartz layer [18], but also of the catalyst [13]; a deflector [16] for the homogenization of the gaseous mixture, and to the outer side of the housing there being provided: a conduit for the completion of the catalyst [17]; conduit for supplying H2 [2], conduit for supplying with mixture comprising carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides and/or sulphur oxides C02 [4] and a conduit for discharging carbon and/or sulphur [10].
Abstract:
In an internal combustion engine with a positive displacement charger (12) having a charger housing (11) adjacent to the engine cylinder(s), the gas exchange control element for the combustion chamber inlet (14) is a functional part (16) of the charger, preferably designed as a rotary piston charger.
Abstract:
A valve system is described for a gas engine (20) comprising a number of valves (36, 44) that are arranged to regulate the amount and supply of gas into an inlet manifold (16) in the engine (20). The system comprises a valve housing (30) equipped with a centrally placed and linearly moving control valve (36) and a surrounding admission valve (44), where the admission valve (44) is arranged to rotate to regulate the amount of gas that is let into the valve housing (30).
Abstract:
The present invention comprises a cylinder block wherein vertical reciprocation of a piston is transmitted to a connecting rod then rotates a crank shaft to generate torque. A cylinder head is joined to the top of the cylinder block, whereof one side is connected to a primary intake and exhaust manifold which is opened and shut by a primary intake and exhaust valve and the other side is connected to a secondary intake and exhaust manifold which is opened and shut by a secondary intake and exhaust valve. A primary cam shaft is placed on the upper side of the cylinder head and rotates to interlock with the rotation of the crank shaft and is connected with a primary intake and exhaust cam driving the primary intake and exhaust valve. A secondary cam shaft is placed on the upper side of the cylinder head and rotates to interlock with the rotation of the crank shaft, and is connected with a secondary intake and exhaust cam driving the secondary intake and exhaust valve. A tertiary cam shaft is placed on the upper side of the cylinder head and rotates to interlock with the rotation of the secondary cam shaft. A primary intake and exhaust control unit is installed in the primary intake and exhaust manifold and controls selectively one of intake of mixed gas or air and exhaust of combustion gas. A secondary intake and exhaust control unit is installed in the secondary intake and exhaust manifold and controls selectively one of intake of mixed gas or air and exhaust of combustion gas. An exhaust-connecting pipe connects the primary and secondary intake and exhaust manifolds, and forms an exhaust path for combustion exhaust gas. Therefore, intake and exhaust performance of a four-stroke internal-combustion engine is improved.
