    摘要: A hydraulic accumulator (20) includes a rigid tank (27) containing a flexible but non-elastic bladder (21) formed of a metal foil and separating the interior of the tank into a gas space and a liquid space. The gas and liquid spaces respectively communicate with exterior sources of gas and liquid through fixtures (22,24) provided on the accumulator tank. One of the fixtures (24) is provided with an anti-extrusion valve (25) to prevent the bladder from being forced out through the fixture. In one preferred embodiment the bladder is a bellows. in another preferred embodiment the accumulator tank is provided with a vent in communication with the liquid space within the tank to allow for venting of any gas separating from the liquid and accumulating within the liquid space.

    摘要: An air bottoming powertrain, suitable for use in automobiles includes an internal combustion engine (18), a compressor (1) which receives gaseous working fluid and compresses it to an elevated pressure, a cooler (16) for operating the compressor isothermally, an expander (4) for deriving work from the compressed gas and a heat exchanger (3) located in the compressed gas line for indirect heat exchange between the compressed working fluid and exhaust gas from the internal combustion engine. The expander may have a cylindrical barrel with a plurality of cylinders arranged in a circle and open at one end face of the cylinder barrel, which end face is sealed closed by a valve plate. The cylinder barrel and valve plate allow relative rotation therebetween to drive an output shaft, driven by compressed gas from the compressor.

    摘要: An internal combustion engine includes a cylinder (21), a head (58) closing one end of the cylinder (21) and a piston (24) slidably mounted in the cylinder (22) for reciprocating motion in the usual manner, wherein reciprocation is converted into rotary motion for example, by a conventional crankshaft. The top surface (32) of the piston (24), cylinder head (58) and cylinder (21) serve as walls defining a system chamber (70) with a pocket (36) formed in one of the system chamber walls for receiving fuel and serving as a combustion chamber (70) for localized combustion therein. In one disclosed embodiment, the cylinder (21) is divided into two sections (21 and 22) with thermal insulation (14, 30) serving as a heat barrier disposed between the two sections (21 and 22) and the piston (24) has a hollow interior containing one or more heat shields (41, 42) spanning the hollow interior.

    摘要: A method of operation of an internal combustion engine to minimize NOx emission in the exhaust gas involving the detection of the load on the vehicle engine as either a low load or a high load. When a low load is detected, unthrottled air and a quantity of fuel providing for a lean combustion condition are mixed with the injection (4) of fuel adjacent top dead center during the compression stroke. When a high load condition is detected, throttled air and a quantity of fuel governed by the sensed oxygen content of the exhaust gas are mixed in an approximately stoichiometric ratio with the injection (4) at a much earlier time than the injection at low load, preferably during the intake stroke.
