    摘要: An internal combustion engine has four cylinders, each having a respective piston positioned therein and connected with a crankshaft for movement in the respective cylinder. Each cylinder has a plurality of ports with a plurality of valves openable and closable to control fluid flow into and out of the cylinder through the ports. Combustion occurs in a first two of the four cylinders (power cylinders) that are each interconnected between a second two of the four cylinders (inductor cylinders) via passages connecting ports of the respective cylinders. Opening and closing of the valves is timed to accomplish internal exhaust gas recirculation, i.e., such that fluid directed from the power cylinders to the inductor cylinders via the passages after combustion is redirected via the passages from the inductor cylinders to the power cylinders. A method of internal exhaust gas recirculation for an engine as described above is also provided.

    摘要: An internal combustion engine includes a compressor cylinder having a respective inlet, a first outlet and a respective piston slideably movable within the compressor cylinder and operatively connected to a rotating crankshaft. The compressor cylinder provides a first stage of compression to a charge when the charge is transferred from the compressor cylinder during every revolution of the crankshaft. A first power cylinder includes a respective inlet in fluid communication with the first outlet of the compressor cylinder, a respective outlet and a respective piston slideably movable within the first power cylinder and operatively connected to the rotating crankshaft. The first power cylinder provides a second stage of compression and firing of the charge within the first power cylinder every two revolutions of the crankshaft.
