A split-cycle water injection engine includes a crankshaft rotatable about a crankshaft axis. A power piston is slidably received within a power/expansion cylinder and operatively connected to the crankshaft. A compression piston is slidably received within a compression cylinder and operatively connected to the crankshaft. A crossover passage is operatively connected between the compression cylinder and the power/expansion cylinder and selectively operable to receive compressed air from the compression cylinder and to deliver compressed air to the power/expansion cylinder for use in transmitting power to the crankshaft during engine operation. Valves selectively control gas flow into and out of the compression and power cylinders. A water injector is associated with and adapted to inject water into at least one of the compression cylinders the crossover passage and the power cylinder during engine operation. |
