A COMBUSTION CHAMBER CONSTRUCTION WITH DUAL MIXING REGIONS FOR OPPOSED-PISTON ENGINES

摘要

A combustion chamber construction for opposed-piston engines in which fuel is injected from two opposed injectors includes a dual mixing region construction with a respective mixing region for each injector and a coupling region between the two mixing regions through which the mixing regions communicate. In some aspects, the mixing regions are bulbous and are connected by a waist, or tunnel, region that is relatively narrower than the bulbous mixing chambers.
