<p>A method for improving the efficiency of an internal combustion engine such as a Diesel engine, by ensuring, on the one hand, efficient cylinder scavenging, particularly at light engine loads and/or low speeds, and on the other hand, a reduction of the effective compression ratio resulting in temperature reduction preferably under high engine loads and/or at high speeds. Said method consists in creating, for each engine cylinder and each engine cycle, a reserve of compressed air, during the intake stage, with the intake air and in compressing it by retarding the closing of the intake valve. A non-return valve is accommodated in the intake conduit and said gas reserve is contained in the space between the intake valve and the non-return valve.</p> |
