Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An opposed-piston internal combustion engine with one or more ported cylinders and uniflow scavenging includes fuel injectors supported at compound angles with respect to the cylinders in order to directly inject spray patterns of fuel in opposing directions through the side walls of the cylinders.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. An internal combustion engine including a plurality of cylinders, each cylinder including longitudinally separated exhaust and intake ports and a pair of pistons disposed in opposition to one another in a bore of the cylinder, in which, for each cylinder, a first fuel injector with an injector nozzle positioned near the longitudinal center of the cylinder is supported at a first compound angle with its nozzle at a first injection location, a second fuel injector with a…
