The invention relates to an engine having prechamber ignition, in particular a gas engine, that comprises a main combustion space in a cylinder of the engine for combusting an air-fuel mixture and a prechamber having an ignition device arranged therein and a fuel injector arranged therein, wherein the prechamber has at least one transfer port that fluidically connects the prechamber to the main combustion space. The engine is characterized in that the fuel injector arranged in the prechamber is the only fuel injector via which fuel can be introduced into the associated main combustion space.

An engine has an ignition source in a combustion chamber of the engine. An inner housing is provided that includes one or more jet apertures and defines an inner chamber containing the ignition source. An outer housing (or pre-chamber) is provided that includes one or more jet apertures in communication with the main combustion chamber and defines an outer chamber containing the inner housing.

A combustion-powered tool comprises a primary combustion chamber, a secondary combustion chamber, and a working piston that is in fluidic connection with the secondary combustion chamber so as to be exposed to the pressures developed within the secondary combustion chamber, when combustion takes place within the secondary combustion chamber, such that the working piston can be driven through its working or power stroke. A flexible silicone rubber plate-type control check valve is interposed between the primary combustion chamber and the secondary combustion chamber so as to control the flow of combustion products from the primary combustion chamber into the secondary combustion chamber and yet prevent the flow of combustion products from the secondary combustion chamber back into the primary combustion chamber, when combustion occurs within the secondary combustion chamber, such that the pressures developed within the secondary combustion chamber, as a result of the combustion of the air/fuel mixture within the secondary combustion chamber, can in fact act upon the working piston so as to drive the same through its working or power stroke.

An engine with a cylinder, a cylinder head, a main combustion chamber, a pre-combustion chamber assembly, and a control valve is provided. The main combustion chamber is disposed in the cylinder. The pre-combustion chamber assembly is disposed in the cylinder head. The pre-combustion chamber assembly includes a pre-chamber portion in fluid communication with the main combustion chamber. The pre-combustion chamber assembly includes a tip portion, which includes at least one orifice to allow fluid communication between the main combustion chamber and the pre-chamber portion. The control valve is accommodated in the pre-chamber portion and is mechanically switchable between a closed position and an open position. The control valve is adapted to be switched to the closed position when fluid pressure in the pre-chamber portion reaches a peak pressure value. The control valve then blocks fluid communication between the main combustion chamber and the pre-chamber portion.

A poppet valve engine incorporates a single rotary combustion chamber serving multiple cylinders to decrease emissions and increase thermodynamic efficiency. Virtually zero emissions are achievable by on-board fuel reforming to hydrogen. Limited heat range exposure of the rotary combustion chamber, low temperature combustion, and ceramic coatings reduce heat loss while three stage combustion, intake and fuel preheating, and fuel reforming reduce combustion process irreversibility. A supercharger increases the power density to allow engine displacement reduction. A z-crankshaft assembly coupled with a pre-combustion chamber allow knock-less and stable hydrogen combustion at virtually all load and speed conditions. Variable compression, possible in certain configurations of the z-crankshaft assembly, further increases thermal efficiency.

It is disclosed a method for operating an improved internal combustion engine. An intake valve and an exhaust valve control closing and opening of respective intake and exhaust apertures. The engine includes a separating aperture between the cylinder and a separation chamber, and a controlling separating valve. The separation chamber is connected to the intake and exhaust manifolds respectively by the intake and exhaust apertures. The method includes opening the separating valve. While it is open, the exhaust valve opens and then closes, and then the intake valve opens enabling gas flow from the intake manifold to the cylinder volume through the open intake aperture, the separation chamber and the open separating aperture. The method includes closing the intake valve and closing the separating valve. Thereby, gas flow from the intake manifold stops, isolating the separation chamber from the cylinder volume and providing double isolation during compression and combustion strokes.

Methods, systems, and devices are disclosed that generally involve split-cycle engines in which a combustion event is initiated in a crossover passage that interconnects a compression cylinder and an expansion cylinder of the split-cycle engine. In one embodiment, the compression piston leads the expansion piston by a phase shift angle so that, for example, a substantial amount of the combustion event can occur in the crossover passage at a constant volume.

It is provided an improved internal combustion engine unit. The engine unit has a piston moving in a cylinder enclosing cylinder volume, an intake valve controlling closing and opening of an intake aperture connecting the cylinder volume to an intake manifold, and an exhaust valve controlling closing and opening of an exhaust aperture connecting the cylinder volume to an exhaust manifold. The improved engine unit includes a separating aperture between the cylinder and a separation chamber, and a separating valve adapted for controlling closing and opening the separating aperture. The separation chamber is connectable to the intake manifold and to the exhaust manifold, respectively, by the intake and exhaust apertures. Opening both the separating valve and the exhaust valve enables gas flow from the cylinder volume to the exhaust manifold through the open separating aperture, the separation chamber and the open exhaust aperture. Opening both the separating valve and the intake valve enables gas flow from the intake manifold to the cylinder volume through the open intake aperture, the separation chamber and the separating aperture. The intake valve and the exhaust valve are driven by solenoids controlled in turn by an engine computer. The separating valve is driven by a camshaft driven in turn by the engine.

The invention relates to a method of initiating combustion in an internal combustion engine that comprises a main chamber (5) of variable volume into which an ignitable mixture is introduced, an auxiliary chamber (10) opening out into the main chamber and a controlled means (11, 14, 15) for putting the auxiliary chamber into communication with the main chamber, or for isolating it therefrom. The method includes the step of controlling the controlled means to put the auxiliary chamber into communication with the main chamber during a period that includes the top dead center between the compression stage and the expansion stage. The invention also provides an engine specially adapted to implement the method of the invention.
