Abstract:
A two-stroke engine which includes a cylinder in which a piston moves with a device being provided for allowing the feeding of a charge under pressure to the cylinder and at least two inlet ports in a well of the cylinder. The engine includes a device for selectively sealing a section of flow of the inlet port in accordance with at least one working parameter of the engine The device for selectively sealing may, for example, include a rotary plug placed opposite the inlet ports, with the plug including at least two through openings.
Abstract:
An engine including at least one cylinder in which a piston moves delimiting a combustion chamber and a housing, with at least one opening for allowing fresh air to enter the combustion chamber and one pneumatic injection device. The fuel is atomized or sprayed and injected into the chamber by using a compressed gas. For small engine charges, a compressed gas is used, with the compressed gas being derived solely from the chamber or the housing of the cylinder of the engine, and for high engine charges, another compressed gas is used derived from a source outside the cylinder. The source outside the chamber may include a mechanical compressor driven by one of a two-stage engine or a turbocompressor.
Abstract:
A catalyst is integrated into a cylinder block of an engine and positioned near at least one exhaust port thereof. A separation wall is provided for dividing the exhaust flow into two branches, one of which contains the catalyst. A control device responsive to at least one engine parameter selectively seals one of the branches such that exhaust is either passed through the catalyst or around the catalyst. A coolant passage is provided adjacent the catalyst to prevent overheating.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of controlling an internal-combustion engine comprising at least one cylinder (10) with at least one burnt gas exhaust means (12) including an exhaust valve (16) whose opening/closing is controlled by control means (22) and an exhaust pipe (14) connected to an exhaust line (18, 20), at least two intake means (26, 28) comprising each a valve (32, 36) whose opening/closing is controlled by a dedicated actuating means (46, 48) and a pipe (30, 34). The method, during low load or medium load running of the engine: controls the closed position of exhaust valve (16) and controls one (36) of the intake valves so as to operate it as a burnt gas discharge valve.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a two-stroke engine comprising at least: a cylinder (111) in which a piston (112) moves and one end of which communicates with a pump crankcase (115) crossed through by the crankshaft (114) of the engine, a capacity under pressure (87) opening at one end into the combustion chamber (113) of the cylinder (111), at least one valve (86) ensuring an intermittent sealing between the chamber (113) and the capacity (87), a means (88) intended for carburetting the gas passing in said capacity (87), a means for controlling the opening of said valve (86) comprising a supple membrane (89) separating two chambers (95a, 95b) and connected to the rod of the valve. The engine according to the invention further comprises a liking means (92) between one (95b) of said chambers and the pump crankcase (115) of said cylinder, allowing notably the opening of the valve (86) to be activated as soon as possible when the pressure P.sub.B in the chamber (95b) becomes lower than the pressure P.sub.S in said capacity (87).
Abstract:
An internal combustion 2-stroke engine having at least one combustion chamber equipped with a delayed fuel supply system opening into a cylinder head. A wall of the cylinder has at least one exhaust port situated in the vicinity of a first referernce point through which passes a first axial plane of the cylinder or exhaust plane and at least one intake port situated in the vicinity of a second reference point, or intake reference point. A plane perpendicular to the exhaust plane and containing the axis of the cylinder defines two accommodation zones in the cylinder with the first accommodation zone, complementary to the second one, containing the reference point of the exhaust port, and the supply system is situated in the second accommodation zone.
Abstract:
A device and method are provided for the pneumatic injection of fuel into an engine. The device comprises at least one auxiliary duct having two ends one of which is connected to an exhaust pipe and the other to an injection member.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an internal-combustion engine having at least one piston sliding in a cylinder, at least one combustion chamber (4) and a compressed air or gas storage tank (14) connected to a volume compressed by the motion of said piston via a connection means provided with a nonreturn device (16) allowing a gas at a pressure greater than or equal to that of the compressed volume to be stored in said tank (14). According to the invention, the gas under pressure present in said tank (14) fulfills a purpose other than that related to the feeding of the combustion chamber (4).
Abstract:
Scavenging a cylinder of an engine with fuel-free fresh air and injection with atomized liquid fuel by a pressurized gas are accomplished independently, at specific moments during by the operating cycle of the engine. The fuel is atomized and injected into the cylinder by gases tapped from cylinder of the engine. The injection device can comprise a reservoir in which the gases tapped from cylinder are stored. The gases can be tapped from cylinder by a pneumatic injector when the valve opens.
Abstract:
A two-stroke engine having at least one cylinder in which a piston is movably accommodated, with a crank case communicating with one end of the at least one cylinder. Air is admitted to the crank case and at least one pipe admits unmixed air from the crank case to a cylinder transfer port. The fuel is pneumatically injected into the cylinder by way of a pneumatic injector and a pipe connected to the crank case by a valve and forming a volume of pressurized air connected to the pneumatic injector supplies the pneumatic injector with pressurized air for atomizing the fuel. An exhaust pipe is connected to the at least one cylinder by an exhaust port located in a position offset in a direction of travel of the piston with respect to the cylindrical transfer port of the cylinder. At least one restricting element is disposed inside the exhaust pipe in a vicinity of the cylinder for restricting a passage of the exhaust gases, with the restricting element being controlled and adjusted as a function of at least one engine operating parameter.
