METHOD OF OPERATION AND DESIGN OF RING JET INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: power plant engineering. SUBSTANCE: proposed method includes suction and compression of air - oxidizer, carburation, ignition, combustion, expansion of gases and discharge of exhaust gases. Suction and compression of air-oxidizer is provided by blowers in form of flat rings provided with channels with ribs and bypass holes for air-oxidizer and ports for exhaust gases. Additional compression of air-oxidizer by means of perforated rings with pockets is provided. Carburation is carried out in isolated chamber into which air is fed in form of pulsating streams. Air in chamber is processed by supersonic waves which are used also for treatment if liquid fuel fed into chamber to form aerosol fuel mixture which is then passed into fixed antechamber. Fuel mixture is ignited in antechamber and expanding gases are directed into movable combustion chamber. Isolated chamber and antechamber are formed by rings of different configuration and are mounted in space of receiver. The latter is filled with continuously fed water for cooling combustion antechamber, steam-hydrogen converter, reaction nozzle with gate and pipeline with liquid fuel. Water turned into steam in process of cooling of above-indicated units is delivered for dissociation into steam-hydrogen converter and into combustion chamber. Receiver is made in form of cylinder with hermetically sealed cover and is installed coaxially on base made in form of flat ring. Movable combustion chamber is made in form of flat ring with bypass ports provided with ribs and space with steps. Ring-shaped converter in mounted on upper plane of chamber. Trough with cover is made in converter housing. Remaining undissociated steam and its decomposition products are directed from trough into combustion chamber where complete combustion of fuel mixture is carried out. Exhaust gases are forced out from reaction nozzle through manifold and exhaust ports. EFFECT: increased efficiency, energy saving and ecological safety. 3 cl, 6 dwg
