Title:
SPLIT CYCLE INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/178624
Kind Code:
A8
Abstract:
A split cycle internal combustion engine apparatus 100 is disclosed herein. The apparatus 100 comprises a combustion cylinder 20 accommodating a combustion piston 22 and a compression cylinder 10 accommodating a compression piston12. The apparatus is arranged to provide compressed fluid to the combustion cylinder 20. The compression cylinder 10 is coupled to a first liquid coolant reservoir 40 and a second liquid coolant reservoir 50. A controller 60 is arranged to receive an indication of at least one parameter associated with the engine, and control delivery of at least one of the first liquid coolant from the first liquid coolant reservoir 40 and the second liquid coolant from the second liquid coolant reservoir 50 to the compression cylinder 10 based on the indication of the at least one parameter such that the at least one liquid coolant vaporises into a gaseous phase during a compression stroke.
