Abstract
Thermal machines are known in prior art. They generally differ considerably from the theoretically most advantageous engine in respect of pressure-volume cycles or have a complicated structure. The object of the present invention is to eliminate these drawbacks and achieve a new type of thermal machine. The advantages of the invention include a nearly ideal phasing of pressure-volume cycles, built-in power regulation and insignificant mechanical losses. This is achieved by using inversely linked connecting rods (9), four-chamber cylinders and a crankshaft (7) provided with rolling contact bearings with insertable rolling elements.
Claims7
Thermal machine which operates in accordance with a closed cycle process principle, comprising a cylinder with a hot chamber separated from a first pressure equilisation chamber by a first piston, and a compression chamber separated from a second pressure equilisation chamber by a second piston, the first and second pistons being attached to a piston rod, a connecting rod linked between a crankshaft and the piston rod in an inverted manner so that a volume of the hot chamber and the compression chamber is smallest at a gentle crest formed in a motion curve of the pistons.
