TWO-STROKE INTERNAL-COMBUSTION ENGINE.
Application filed July 3,
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JEAN ROMEYN, a citizen of the Kingdom of Netherlands, and resident of Brussels, Belgium, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in or Relating to Two-Stroke Internal-Oombustion Engines; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawlngs, and to letters or figures of reference marked therein, which form the part of this specification. i In a two-stroke internal combustion engine, as is well known, the maximum output which can be obtained from a given. cylinder depends upon the back pressure in the exhaust pipe.
Two different cases of an increase in the back pressure will now be discussed, supposing all the other conditions to be unaltered.
Firstly, if the engine is so designed that the scavenging valves or parts close after the exhaust ports have closed again the back pressure increase results in the pressure in the cylinder during the scavenging period becoming higher, and the same applies to the scavenging air pressure. Consequently, as the cylinder is filled at a pressure substantially equal to thescavenging air pressure, the pressure at the beginning of the compression is higher, and more fresh air is compressed bythe piston.
Secondly, if the scavenging is effected through ports only, and without any additional distributing arrangement, these ports, which necessarily open after the exhaust ports, are closed first and the pressure at the beginning of the compression is substantially equal to the back pressure in the exhaust pipe. In this case it is obvious that any increase of this back pressure is fav0urable as regards the quantity of fresh air enclosed in the cylinder.
It would be very easy to obtain any given back pressure in the exhaust pipe by arrang ing at the end thereof a restricted passage if the lead and the speed of the engine were constant. But, as the volume of burnt gas exhausted by the engine in a time unit is 1923. Serial No. 649,349.
variable owing to the exhaust temperature, and as the case may be, to the speeduof the engine, the back pressure obtained by means I.
of a restricted passage of constant area would vary and consequently also the compresslon pressure. Such variations of the compression are only permissible when they engine. But such a valve is liable to be-. come clogged owing to the dirt of the exhaust gas.
The object of the present invention is to obtain a certain regulationof the back pressure withoutusing any valve or mechanism in the exhaust pipe; and to effect this, there is discharged into the exhaust pipe a variable quantity of scavenging air, in such .a manner that the flow of fresh air meeting with the flow of burnt gas creates disturbance and so increases the resistance encountered by said gas.
In order that the invention may be readily understood, it is represented by way of example in the accompanying drawings in which: Figure 1 is a diagrammatic vertical section, showing the invention in its simplest form; Fig. 2 is a similar sectional view of a form analogous to that illustrated in Fig. 1, but equipped with an obstructing element; and Fig. 3 is likewise a diagrammatic, vertical sectional view, but showing the invention applied to the exhaust si lencer.
In Figure 1 the burnt gas flows through the pipe 5 0 in the direction shown by'the arrow a, (Z is an annular space or chamber encircling pipe 0 and receiving through the pipe 6 a certainquantity of scavengin air which can be adjusted by means of the valve 7", which as the case may be is controlled by 1 hand, or by the governor or by the speed regulating gear. The chamber (Z communicates with the pipe 0 thr'oughan annular slot 9, which is so disposed that the flow of fresh air entering the pi 3e is directed backwards with respect to the direction of the burnt gas flow.
It must be considered that for a given load and speed of the engine, the total vol* ume of fluid (air and exhaust) which must pass through the mouth it of pipe 0 is constant. If the valve f is closed, the whole quantity of gas flows gently in the direction a without encountering other resistances than those caused by the pipe. But if part of the scavenging air is admitted through the slot 9, there is an additional resistance due to disturbance.
Supposing that the area of the pipe is suitable for obtaining at full load and full speed the back pressure and the compression required',-it will be possible to suppress or to minimize the difiierences of compression due to the variations of load and speed by admitting more or less fresh air through the pipere.
In Figures 2-and 8, the same letters designate similar parts as in Figure 1. The form shown in Figure 2 is similar to that shown in Figure 1, except that the part i is inserted in the pipe 0 at the place where the scavenging'air is admitted, in order to have an annular passage h of small width, which is favourable'to the disturbance.
In Figure 3 the device is appliedto the exhaust silencer J but the principle is just the same.
