FIELD: engines and pumps.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to automotive industry. Proposed engine comprises external combustion chamber with nozzle and spark plug, gas control valve, bypass valve and air intake valve, power piston and compressor piston with crank drives, coupling shaft, flywheel and p.t.o.-shaft. Note here that conversion of fuel chemical energy into mechanical power is divided into fuel combustion in external combustion chamber and expansion of combustion products in the cylinder of piston expander. In compliance with this invention, proposed engine incorporates pneumatic accumulator wherein air is forced from compressor head-end space to add air into external combustion chamber in combustion process.
EFFECT: higher specific power and possibility to run on various fuels.
