Abstract
The aim of the invention is to improve the efficiency of an axial-piston motor comprising at least one working cylinder fed by a continuously operating combustion chamber comprising a pre-combustion chamber and a main combustion chamber. To this end, the axial-piston motor is provided with a pre-combustion chamber comprising a check valve.
Claims14
An axial-piston engine with at least one compressor cylinder, with at least one working cylinder, and with at least one pressure line, through which compressed combustion agent is conducted from the compressor cylinder to the working cylinder, the axial-piston engine comprising
- a combustion agent reservoir in which compressed medium can be stored temporarily, the axial-piston engine further comprising a first heat exchanger, a second heat exchanger, a first valve for the first heat exchanger, and a second valve for the second heat exchanger, wherein exhaust channels lead from the working cylinders to said first and second heat exchanger, and
- wherein the combustion agent reservoir is provided between the compressor cylinder and the first heat exchanger and is provided between the compressor cylinder and the second heat exchanger;
- and
- wherein the first heat exchanger or the second heat exchanger is in the pressure line for heating up compressed gas;
- and
- wherein the first valve is situated
- a) between the combustion agent reservoir and the compressor cylinder and also situated between the combustion agent reservoir and a combustion chamber and
- b) wherein the second valve is situated between the combustion agent reservoir and the compressor cylinder.
