System for adapting an internal combustion engine so that it is operated using compressed air or gas

Abstract

The invention relates to the adaptation of an internal combustion engine so that it can be operated using compressed air instead of fuel. A system is provided for operating an internal combustion engine that has at least one cylinder and a reciprocating piston. The fuel and the spark plugs are substituted by a system that uses air or a different compressed gas as a driving force means which is supplied into the combustion chamber through the opening of the spark plug. Said system includes a differential compressor (2), a tank for storing compressed air (3), a distributing valve (4) coupled to the camshaft of the engine (1), application valves (5) connected in the openings of the spark plugs, suction (6), output (7) and drying (8 and 9) air filters, non-return valves (10), an automatic closing valve (11), a manual closing valve (12), an acceleration valve (13), a safety valve (14), an exhaust air pressure tube (15), a suction (16) and output (17) tube, suction (18) and exhaust (19) multiples, an emergency compressor (20) and atmospheric air intakes (21 and 22).
