Combustion process of fuel-air mixture in a cylinder of an internal combustion engine and device for performing said process.

摘要

The engine comprises a combustion chamber with a volume which can be varied by the displacement of a piston in this cylinder according to a reciprocating movement, combustion occurring in the presence of a liquid having at least a raised percentage of water. The process is characterised in that the liquid is introduced into the combustion chamber by injection whilst the temperature and the pressure in the chamber are raised following ignition of the mixture in such a way as to produce a separation of the liquid into oxygen and hydrogen and a composition of the latter. The liquid is introduced by means of an injector comprising a mobile assembly (13) controlled by the pressure in the combustion chamber. The invention can be utilised to combat pollution of the environment due to the exhaust gases from motor vehicles.
