  • Patent number: 11828238
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a method in a two-stroke engine comprising at least one cylinder (1) with a reciprocating piston (2), a delimited combustion space (5), at least one outlet port (7) and an inlet port (9) which are both uncovered at the bottom dead center position of the piston, an actuator (8) which activates a valve (17) to open and introduce combustion air via an inlet pipe (6), a control system (15) which controls the actuator to open the valve in order to introduce combustion air via the inlet port. The invention is characterized in that the inlet port is closed by the piston after the outlet port has been closed, thus the opposite compared to the two-stroke engines of today.

  • Patent number: 11441493
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for providing a variable compression ratio in a combustion engine, where the combustion chamber (9) is formed substantially by a piston bowl in the main piston (1), comprising a secondary piston (3) being displaceable against spring action between an upper/outer position which provides minimal volume of the combustion chamber (9) and a lower/inner position which provides maximum volume of the combustion chamber (9), or in a position therebetween depending on introduced air mass before the compression stroke. The method is characterized in arranging said secondary piston (3) resting on a spring (5) with substantially constant spring force adapted such that introduced air mass is to be compressed to a predetermined pressure at the end of the compression stroke. The invention also concerns a corresponding device and a diesel engine comprising such a device.
