  • Air may enter the engine through an inlet port 23., exhaust gases leaving the engine from an exhaust port 24.
  • a transfer duct permits air to flow from the cavity 15 to the cavity 14, while a transfer duct 26 permits combustion gases to flow from the cavity 14 to the cavity 15.
  • a fuel injector 27 is arranged at position 29 in the wall of the cavity 14, opposite the side thereof where the transfer ducts 25 and 26 are situated.
  • the fueld injector 27 thus supplies fuel to the working chamber G.
  • a further fuel injector may be arranged in the wall of the cavity 14 near the fuel injector 27.
  • the fuel may be ignited by means of a spark plug arranged in the wall of the cavity 14 adjacent to the injector 27, preferably downstream of the injector 27. If two injectors are provided two spark plugs may be provided.
  • the use of such external means of ignition as spark plugs however may not in all cases be necessary and reliance may be placed merely on compression ignition. This engine preferably operates solely on the compression ignition cycle.
  • the various working chambers A-H vary in both volume and position during the rotation of the pistons 10,11 so that a working cycle is efiected in which the air entering the cavities 14,15 is compressed and the combustion gases therein are expanded.
  • the air which has been so sucked through the inlet port 23 is first subjected to a low pressure compression stage, indicated by the reference numerals V-Vll and is thereafter subjected to a high pressure compression stage, indicated by the reference numerals Vlll.
  • a low pressure compression stage some of the air being compressed is within the cavity 15 whilst some of it is within the cavity 14.
  • the low pressure compression stage some of the air being compressed is within the cavity 15 whilst some of it is within the cavity 14.
  • all the air being compressed is within the cavity 14. It will therefore be appreciated that the air received by the cavity 14 has been precompressed in passing through the cavity.
  • Combustion takes place when the air has been compressed to the volume indicated by the reference numeral 1X (see FIG. 2).
  • the exhaust stroke is represented by the decreasing volume indicated by the reference numerals XlV-XVI.
  • the communication starts to become established between the working chambers B, F, when the working chamber B is substantially at its maximum volume and the working chamber F is substantially at its minimum volume, and ceases to be established when the working chamber B is substantially at its minimum volume and the working chamber F is simultaneously substantially at its maximum volume.
  • the engine has the following transfer port timing:
  • LP inlet transfer port 25 opens 306 BTDCLP HP inlet transfer port 25 closes l7l BTDC HP HP exhaust transfer port 26 opens 203 ATDC HP LP exhaust transfer port 26 closes 330 ATDC.HP
  • BTDC Before top dead centre ATDC means After top dead centre LP means Low Pressure HP means High Pressure Top dead centre in a rotary piston engine is when apex of the piston is pointing vertically downwards when viewed in the drawings and when the eccentric on its particular eccentric shaft is in its uppermost position.
  • the angles referred to are eccentric shaft angles.
  • the edges of the ports are marked, AA, BB, CC, DD, EE, PF, 66, HH, II, J], 14K and LL.
  • AA 249 BTDC LP Inlet port 23 starts to close at maximum summated inlet volume, i.e. when the total volume of the LP and HP chambers receiving a new charge is at a maximum.
  • Charge momentum prevents blow-back before edge BB is reached by the rotor apex.
  • the function is the same as that of the normal reciprocating piston engine inlet valve.
  • CC 306 BTDC LP LP inlet transfer port 25 opens before maximum LP volume is reached to allow HP filling, but as lateas possible to reduce dead loss volume in LP when the gas transfer is completed. It is also late to prevent exhaust gas blow down from the HP exhaust transfer port 26.
  • DD 274 BTDC LP LP inlet transfer port 25 closes. This position depends on the port shape and size.
  • EE 213 BTDC HP HP inlet transfer port 25 starts to close. This position is determined from FF and depends upon port size and shape.
  • HP inlet transfer port 25 closes before HP exhaust transfer port 26 opens to prevent contamination of the transferred charge and to allow time for exhaust scavenging. It closes late to suit the position of the LP inlet transfer port 25 and thus minimise transfer passage length.
  • the pressure of the remaining charge in LPTDC chamber helps to prevent exhaust gas carryover.
  • GG 203 ATDC HP HP exhaust transfer port 26 opens as late as possible to reduce percentage losses in the exhaust transfer passage 26 and to delay opening until FF is closed. It should also coincide with minimum LP volume while retaining a short exhaust transfer passage.
  • ATDC LP LP exhaust port opened at minimum summated. volume around the exhaust transfer passage. The increasing LP volume provides good initial HP exhaust scavenging prior to the next secondary scavenging stage.
  • KK 195 ATDC LP LP exhaust port 24 opens 50 before maximum sumated expansion volume. This early opening matches the time required for gas acceleration to facilitate exhaust as with a reciprocating piston engine exhaust valve.
  • the engine of the present invention could incorporate a plurality of the pistons 10 and a corresponding plurality of the pistons 11 in the same way as a reciprocating engine may be provided with a plurality of cylinders.
  • a single piston 11 may provide for the pre-compression of the air and final expansion of the exhaust gases of a plurality of the pistons 10.
  • a rotary piston internal combustion engine comprising a housing, said housing having first and second cavities closely adjacent one another, a first rotary piston mounted in said first cavity to define a first set of working chambers therewith,'a second rotary piston mounted in said second cavity to define a second set of working chambers therewith, each cavity and its respective piston being trochoidal in shape and respectively having n and n+1 lobes, each cavity having a major, a minor, and a polar axis, said two cavities being arranged adjacent to each other with their major axes substantially parallel to each other, means for producing planetary rotation of said first and second pistons at the same rotational speed in said cavities, a first duct for transferring compressed air from said second set of working chambers to said first set of working chambers for further compression therein, a second duct for transferring combustion gases which have been partially expanded in said first set of working chambers to said second set of working chambers for further expansion therein, means for rendering the length of said first and second ducts approximately the same and for aligning
