Embodiment Construction

[0030] This specification relates to a two-stroke cycle, double crankshaft, opposed-piston engine having a cylinder block with a plurality of cylinders arranged in a row such that a single plane contains the longitudinal axes of all engine cylinders. The row-by-row alignment of the cylinders is referred to as an "in-line" configuration in accordance with standard terminology in the engine field. Furthermore, an in-line arrangement may be "straight", wherein the plane containing the longitudinal axis is substantially vertical, or "slanted", wherein the plane containing the longitudinal axis is inclined. Thus, while the following description is limited to in-line configurations, it applies to straight and angled variants as well. It is also possible to position the engine so that the plane containing the longitudinal axis is disposed substantially horizontally, in which case the in-line arrangement would be "horizontal".

Abstract

An opposed-piston engine has a cylinder block with a plurality of cylinders arranged inline, with each cylinder including an intake port longitudinally separated from an exhaust port. The engine's air handling system includes open intake and exhaust chambers in the cylinder block. The open chamber constructions eliminate the need for multi-pipe manifolds and smooth the flow of charge air.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This application contains subject matter related to commonly-owned U.S. Patent Application 13 / 782,802, published July 11, 2013 as US 2013 / 0174548, and U.S. Patent Application 14 / 039,856, published January 30, 2014 as US 2014 / 0026563 Theme of. This application also contains subject matter related to that of co-owned US Patent Application 14 / 284,058, entitled "Air Handling Constructions for Opposed-Piston Engines," filed concurrently. Background technique [0003] The field relates to air handling systems for opposed-piston engines that deliver charge air to cylinders of the engine and exhaust gas from the cylinders of the engine. The cylinders are arranged in-line in the cylinder block. The cylinder block includes an open intake chamber and an open exhaust chamber. All intake ports of the cylinders are located in the intake chamber and all exhaust ports of the cylinder are located in the exhaust chamber. [0004] A two-stroke cycle engine...
