摘要： A split-cycle engine includes: a first cylinder housing a first piston, wherein the first piston performs an intake stroke and a compression stroke, but does not perform an exhaust stroke; a second cylinder housing a second piston, wherein the second piston performs an expansion stroke and an exhaust stroke, but does not perform an intake stroke; and a valve chamber housing a valve, the valve comprising an internal chamber that selectively fluidly couples to the first and second cylinders, wherein the valve and internal chamber move within the valve chamber and relative to the first and second cylinders.

摘要： A split-cycle engine includes: a compression chamber, housing a first piston, that induces and compresses working fluid; an expansion chamber, housing a second piston, that expands and exhausts the working fluid; and a transfer chamber, housing a third piston and a fourth piston, wherein the third piston and the fourth piston move relatively to vary a volume within the transfer chamber and to selectively fluidly couple the volume within the transfer chamber to the compression chamber and the expansion chamber. A method of operating an engine includes: inducing working fluid in a first chamber; compressing the working fluid in the first chamber; moving a first moveable boundary of a second chamber; moving a second moveable boundary of the second chamber; expanding the working fluid in the third chamber; and exhausting the working fluid from the third chamber.

摘要： An engine includes a compression chamber that intakes and compresses working fluid; an expansion chamber that expands and exhausts working fluid; and a transfer chamber that receives working fluid from the compression chamber and transfers working fluid to the expansion chamber, wherein an internal volume of the transfer chamber decreases during the transfer of working fluid.
