Abstract
An engine in which the compression and expansion functions are separated to enable: higher efficiency by eliminating inlet throttling, providing stable lean combustion of premixed or injected fuel, by allowing more complete expansion and reduced heat transfer during both compression and expansion; wide fuel compatibility by elimination of detonation and autoignition requirements of spark ignition engines and Diesel engines; lower emissions achieved in combustion of uniform fuel-air mixtures by mixing into hot recompressed combustion products.
