<p>The invention relates to an air storage tank (20) for a hybrid heat/pneumatic engine. According to the invention, the tank is built into the exhaust line of the engine, such that an exchange of heat can be carried out between the exhaust gases of the engine and the air of the tank. The tank can comprise a plurality of tubes (25, 26, 27) connected to one another in parallel via one of the two ends thereof, the other ends (29, 30) being closed, with the exception of one end (31) from among the ends which is connected to the air intake (32) of the tank. The tubes are spaced apart from each other so as to enable the exhaust gases to pass among the tubes. The tank can be built into the muffler of the exhaust line.</p> |
