Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0700482A1] The arrangement includes a secondary cylinder (201) formed in the engine cylinder head (102) which opens upon the combustion chamber (110) of the engine. A secondary piston (203) is positioned by a control device (503) within the secondary cylinder (201). The rearmost position corresponds to the lowest compression ratio. The position of the secondary piston (203) to achieve the compression ratio giving maximum engine efficiency, is controlled by a logic unit (816) operating upon such inputs as the engine load as correlated to the input manifold pressure, the engine RPM and the present position of the secondary piston (203).
