Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition with a Free Piston: A New Approach to Ideal Otto Cycle Performance
TL;DR: In this article, a linear alternator is mounted in the center section of a double-ended cylinder, serving to both generate useful electrical power and to control the compression ratio by varying the rate of electrical generation.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A numerical study of a free piston ic engine operating on homogeneous charge compression ignition combustion
TL;DR: In this paper, a free piston, internal combustion (IC) engine, operating at high compression ratio (~30:1) and low equivalence ratio (φ~0.35), has been proposed by Sandia National Laboratories as a means of significantly improving the IC engine's cycle thermal efficiency and exhaust emissions.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Optimizing the Scavenging System for a Two-Stroke Cycle, Free Piston Engine for High Efficiency and Low Emissions: A Computational Approach
TL;DR: In this article, a free piston internal combustion (IC) engine operating on high compression ratio (CR) homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) combustion is developed by Sandia National Laboratories to significantly improve the thermal efficiency and exhaust emissions relative to conventional crankshaft-driven SI and Diesel engines.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
NOx Emissions and Efficiency of Hydrogen, Natural Gas, and Hydrogen/Natural Gas Blended Fuels
Patent
Free-piston engine
TL;DR: In this paper, a free-piston, two-stroke autoignition internal combustion engine including an electrical generator having a linear alternator with a double-ended free piston that oscillates inside a closed cylinder is provided.
