Abstract: An internal combustion engine includes a compression chamber that is delimited by fixed housing walls and a movable piston mounted therein, and a porous component that fills the combustion chamber, which is separate from the compression chamber. The combustion of fuel and air takes place exclusively within the porous component. The compression chamber is connected to the combustion chamber only via an overflow cross-section designed to allow the transfer of combustion gases created during combustion from the combustion chamber into the compression chamber.

Abstract: The invention relates to an internal combustion engine comprising a compression chamber (3) that is delimited by fixed housing walls (1, 2) and a movable piston (5) mounted therein, and a porous component (4) that fills the combustion chamber (6), which is separate from the compression chamber (3). The combustion of fuel and air takes place exclusively within the porous component (4). The compression chamber (3) is connected to the combustion chamber (6) only via an overflow cross-section (8) designed to allow the transfer of combustion gases created during combustion from the combustion chamber (6) into the compression chamber (3).

Abstract: The present application relates to an injector for use in an internal combustion engine designed to work with fuel/emulsion. Two fuel inlet passages, which are connected to a multichannel distributor and used for feeding fuel from a high pressure hose, are linked with a mixing unit surrounding the nozzle needle. Downstream of the multichannel distributor, in the vicinity of the mixing unit, a make-up liquid inlet passage is connected to a second fuel inlet passage through which the make-up liquid, especially water, is fed to produce emulsified fuel.

Abstract: An interior pipe carrying exhaust gases is arranged in a cooled housing 13. The interior pipe fastened to the housing 13 comprises individual sections 18 arranged in series while leaving expansion joints. The length of one section 18 corresponds approximately to the cylinder spacing of the piston internal-combustion engine. At the circumference, at the halfway point of its length, each section 18 has a plug-type connection 20 interacting with the housing. This plug-type connection 20 is arranged approximately opposite the lead-in point of an exhaust stub 15 of a cylinder interacting with the section 18. The plug-type connection 20 comprises a receiving device which, in a cooled manner, is arranged in the housing and a corresponding plug 23 connected with the section 18 of the interior pipe.
