Reciprocating-piston internal combustion engine with compression control

摘要

To control the compression of a reciprocating-piston internal combustion engine by connecting or disconnecting additional volumes to/from the combustion chamber (1), the additional volumes are integrated in the form of circumferential recesses (9) into a slide (8), with the result that, depending on the position of the slide (10), these additional volumes (9) are connected to the combustion chamber (1) or separated from it (Fig. 1). <IMAGE>
