摘要 |
The invention relates to a split-cycle engine comprising at least two positive displacement rotary machines that are autonomous and placed parallel to one another, preferably a compressor for the intake-compression steps and a rotary engine for the expansion-exhaust, both machines containing a rolling rotor inside a casing and also a sliding vane performing a co-operating, alternating reciprocating movement upon contact with the rotor, thereby defining circumferential intake-compression-expansion and exhaust operating chambers. In addition, both machines are operationally connected, by means of connection ducts including valves for opening/closing the flow of fluid, to at least one intermediate external combustion chamber having means for the ignition or injection of fuel. |
