  • Publication number: 20180313257
    Abstract: An axial piston motor with inner continuous combustion burns a compressed combustion medium with fuel in a continuously operating combustion chamber to form a working medium, the working medium is supplied to cyclical working cylinders in order to extract mechanical energy, and the mechanical energy extracted in the working cylinders is also used for the compression of the combustion medium. The compression is carried out in two steps or at a compression end temperature of less than 300° C. with a compression ratio of more than 10 and/or a rotating distributor includes at least two distributor openings which cyclically open and close the firing connections and/or are cyclically guided past or through firing channels.

  • Publication number: 20070111855
    Abstract: An engine speed-dependent oil pressure regulation of control oil pumps for the lubricant supply of internal combustion engines is ensured by a control piston that hydraulically controls the delivery regulation and to which a differential pressure piston applies a variable additional force. For this purpose, a centrifugal force which is generated in a radial bore of a rotating conveyor wheel of the control oil pump and is variable as a function of engine speed is applied to the differential pressure piston.
