COMBUSTION ENGINE

摘要

A combustion engine (1) with compression-initiated combustion comprises at least one cylinder (2, 2', 2") in which a piston (3, 3', 3") is movable axially between a lower dead centre point and an upper dead centre point, with a dead volume between the cylinder and the piston at the upper dead centre point. The dead volume comprises at least two substantially separate spaces (12, 13, 18, 19; 24, 25) which are designed to ensure that combustion is initiated at different times.
