Compression ignition engine

...There have been many other attempts to achieve smooth circular motion in positive displacement internal combustion engines, but the only one in practical use today is the spark-ignition rotary engine invented by F. Wankel. Meanwhile, R. Diesel aimed to realize NLS Carnot's ideal cycle, and in 1892 he patented the compression ignition engine, i.e., the diesel engine of today, and in 1897 he created the single-cylinder, four-stroke, water-cooled engine. The technology of the time required compressed air to atomize the fuel in the combustion chamber, and air compression pumps and other devices made the engine heavy, so diesel engines developed as stationary and marine engines. ...

…このほか,容積形内燃機関で円滑な円運動を実現する試みは数多くあるが,現在実用になっているのはF.ワンケルにより発明された火花点火式のロータリーエンジンのみである。 一方,R.ディーゼルはN.L.S.カルノーの理想サイクルの実現を目ざし,92年圧縮点火機関,すなわち今日のディーゼルエンジンに関する特許をとり,97年に単筒4サイクル水冷エンジンを実現した。燃焼室における燃料の霧化は当時の工作技術では圧縮空気に頼らねばならず,空気圧縮ポンプなどで重くなり,ディーゼルエンジンは定置機関や船用機関として発達した。…
