Disclosed is a combustion engine. The engine includes a combustion chamber ( 40 ), which is delimited at one end by a head ( 41 ) and delimited at a second end by a piston ( 1 ). The piston is arranged on a connecting rod ( 3 ) via a piston pin ( 2 ). A body ( 1;8;52 ) with a delimiting surface ( 8 A) is movable in relation to the piston pin ( 2 ) and facilitates a variable volume in the combustion chamber ( 40 ). A compression spring ( 10 ), acts on the surface ( 8 A) with a spring force in the direction of the combustion chamber ( 40 ). The engine further includes a pressure chamber ( 11 ) that can be supplied with hydraulic oil from a pressure source via a feed duct ( 12,13 ), which pressure chamber ( 11 ) is able to cause hydraulic movement of the moveable delimiting surface ( 8 A) with the aim of being able to adjust the size of the combustion chamber depending on the combustion pressure. The pressure chamber ( 11 ) communicates with an inlet duct ( 13 ) that facilitates replenishment of the hydraulic oil from the pressure source to the pressure chamber ( 11 ) when the pressure (P 2 ) in the pressure chamber ( 11 ) falls below the pressure (P 1 ) in the feed duct ( 13 ). |
