    摘要: An internal combustion engine with controlled ignition comprises a cylinder, a relative piston, and a head between which a combustion chamber is operationally defined. The cylinder and the piston define a first prismatic coupling. The engine also comprises a pre-chamber made directly inside the combustion chamber, and a male element stably connected to an upper surface of the piston to penetrate the pre-chamber at least in one portion of the relative motion of the piston in the cylinder. A spark plug is arranged to look out into the pre-chamber.

    摘要: Operating a gaseous fuel engine system includes urging a mixture containing a gaseous hydrogen fuel and air into a pocket in an igniter fluidly connected to a cylinder to form an ignition charge, and igniting the ignition charge via a flame kernel formed by energizing spark electrodes of the igniter. The method further includes igniting a main charge containing the gaseous hydrogen fuel via a flame jet of the ignition charge from the igniter. The pocket is shielded from the cylinder sufficiently to form within the pocket a flow field protecting the flame kernel, while fluidly connected to the cylinder sufficiently to clear the pocket of residual combustion gases.

    摘要: A cold recovery facility includes: a first fuel tank configured to store a first fuel in liquid state; a second fuel tank configured to store a second fuel in liquid state having a liquefaction temperature higher than the liquefaction temperature of the first fuel; a first circuit configured to circulate a first medium; a first expansion turbine provided on the first circuit and configured to expand the first medium in gaseous state; a first heat exchanger provided downstream of the first expansion turbine on the first circuit and configured to condense the first medium; a pump provided downstream of the first heat exchanger on the first circuit and configured to boost the first medium; a second heat exchanger provided downstream of the pump on the first circuit and configured to vaporize the first medium; and a third heat exchanger provided downstream of the second heat exchanger and upstream of the first expansion turbine on the first circuit, wherein the first heat exchanger is configured to vaporize the first fuel by heat exchange between the first fuel in liquid state from the first fuel tank and the first medium, and the third heat exchanger is configured to vaporize the second fuel by heat exchange between the second fuel in liquid state from the second fuel tank and the first medium.
