Description: |
| Abstract:
This invention is designed to improve gas engines. Two cycle engines have been made in which the air for combustion is delivered to the engine and gas for combustion delivered in a separate charge, the gas pressure being sufficient for the injection. Engines have also been made in which the gas and air are drawn into a compressor and delivered as mixture to the engine. The separate injection of gas to the engine is more economical than where the air and gas are delivered together as a mixture and it is, there- ore, desirable to provide engines for normal running with such delivery of fuel. But it is often desirable in the starting of the engine, and under certain conditions, to provide means whereby the engine may have its gas and air delivered together as a mixture.
Claim:
In a gas engine, the combination of a cylinder; a piston in the cylinder; an air delivery means comprising a compressor; a gas supply means; and means controlling the delivery of gas either directly to the cylinder with the gas supply under pressure, or to the air delivery means at the will of the operator. |
