Process and device for conversion of heat into work

摘要

Combustion of the compressed gaseous combustion medium occurs in a porous body (8). The combustion medium is preheated prior to combustion. The porous body is connected to a compression chamber (5). An inlet channel (3) has at least one inlet aperture (4) issuing in the compression chamber or the porous body. Between the pore body and the cylinder head (9) is a heat-insulating layer, preferably of ceramic. The pore body is made of ceramic or metal, preferably Stainless (RTM) steel.
