Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0376909A1] Two stroke reciprocating piston internal combustion engine in which the cycle comprises an initial compression of fresh air, where necessary followed by cooling, a second compression of air or of mixture or fuel injection (diesel version), an initial release of pressure producing useful work, a second release of pressure also producing useful work and exhausting of the burnt gases followed by flushing the residual gases with fresh air. This engine preferably comprises an odd number of cylinders, greater than or equal to three. This new engine permits an increase in the energy efficiency and the power/stroke volume ratio compared to the four stroke internal combustion engine. <IMAGE>
