Abstract
A high efficiency two stroke hybrid engine includes a piston engine driving a trochoidal rotor compressor which compresses air injected into a combustion chamber as the piston approaches top dead center into which fuel is also injected during each engine cycle.
Claims3
A two stroke hybrid piston engine comprising:
- a piston reciprocating within an engine cylinder defining in part a combustion chamber within a cylinder in an engine block, a crank shaft and connecting rod reciprocating said piston in said cylinder;
- a compressor driven by said crankshaft compressing air and delivering the same to an inlet passage connected to said combustion chamber, said compressor comprising a trochoidal rotor compressor mounted at one end of said engine block aligned with said crankshaft;
- an air injection valve controlling communication of said inlet passage with said combustion chamber, said valve opened by a valve operating device as said piston approaches top dead center to cause injection of precompressed air from said compressor into said combustion chamber;
- and
- a fuel injector injecting fuel into said precompressed air in said combustion chamber.
