Abstract:

Compressed air engines, compressed air using piston-cylinder engine mechanism design is an alternative that can be obtained on the job. In this study, a four cycle- single cylinder, internal combustion engine has been transformed into a pneumatic engine with rotary valve operating according to two cycle engine principle due to per unit time more power. Performance tests made of fixed working pressure, different engine loads in exhaust valve timing ExOA 20°. At the ExOA 20o exhaust valve timing 25 bar working pressure, engine speed of 800 rpm were obtained 17.28 Nm engine torque, 1.48 kW engine power and maximum motor efficiency 24.42%.

Keywords:

compressed air engine, low emission engines, air-breathing engines, two-stroke engines
