MULTIFUNCTIONAL MODULAR POWER PLANT Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: shipbuilding, automotive industry, transport engineering, power engineering. SUBSTANCE: multifunctional modular power plant has at least single-cylinder internal combustion engine, piston with pusher acting onto mechanical energy converter, working mixture feeder, exhaust gas outlet device, timing system. Cylinder piston can be cooled. Pusher is made either rigid or flexible and furnished with compression ratio control in form of cylinder with piston or screw coupling tightening the braiding of pusher, or combination-type provided with device for its disconnection and distribution of energy among consumers. Timing phase synchronization system is of valve-in-head type, either with electrically controlled valves and nozzles or with camshaft driven by flexible shaft. EFFECT: increased service life, reduced overall dimensions and mass of plant, enhanced reliability in operation. 8 cl, 7 dwg
