HEAT ENGINE OPERATION METHOD Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering; engine building. SUBSTANCE: invention can be used in ground, air and sea transport systems. According to method, fuel mixture ignition in engine cylinder is fed through corresponding valve into heat exchanger placed in liquid which fills reservoir. Liquid starts boiling under action of hot gases passing through heat exchanger and thus builds required pressure of steam inside reservoir. Steam is delivered through corresponding valves in required amount into engine operating cylinders, thus setting pistons into motion and executing useful mechanical work. EFFECT: improved efficiency, simplified design of engine.
