| (54) | Method and apparatus for determining operating parameters in hydraulic piston engines |
| (57) Apparatus for determining the operating parameters of a variable-volume hydraulic
engine comprising a plurality of propulsion members (10) oscillating about a respective
centre of oscillation (Cn) and a spherical body (6) associated with the driving shaft
(7) and movable eccentrically (E) with respect to the centre of rotation (O) of the
latter, and comprising at least two devices (50;150) each of which is respectively
arranged on an associated propulsion member (10) and is designed to detect a parameter
able to allow determination of the position of the point of eccentricity (E) of the
driving shaft (7) with respect to the centre of rotation (O) of the driving shaft
and the centres of oscillation (C1,C2) of said propulsion members (10), and a data
processing unit (1000) able to store the data detected and perform the necessary calculation.
