174 results about "Compression release" patented technology

A compression release mechanism works to ease the starting of internal combustion engines by allowing them to spin up to starting speed without having to work against the pumping action of the pistons. It does this through a release valve that is incorporated within the cylinder head that vents the cylinder pressure to the outside atmosphere until the engine has sufficient momentum to overcome it. At that point the valve closes and the ignition is engaged.

Overspeed control system for gas turbine electric powerplant

A turbine overspeed control system for a gas turbine electrical powerplant. The powerplant may employ an aeroderivative gas turbine engine for producing electrical power. The overspeed control system preferably comprises a compression relief system and an air directing system. When an overspeed condition of the gas turbine engine is detected, the compression relief system acts to remove air from a combustion section of the engine. Preferably, the air is removed to the atmosphere. The air directing system operates to ensure that air entering a compressor section of the gas turbine engine does not impinge on the blades of a compressor turbine located therein at the optimum angle. The result of operating the compression relief and air directing systems is a reduced combustor efficiency. Consequently, a reduced amount of hot gases are available to drive the turbines of the gas turbine engine, and the rotational speed thereof decreases.

In a two-stroke opposed-piston engine, a ported cylinder with a pair of opposed pistons is equipped with a decompression port including a valve and a passage with an opening through the cylinder wall that is located between the cylinder's intake and exhaust ports. The decompression port enables the release of compressed air from the cylinder after the intake and exhaust ports are closed. The valve controls airflow through the passage, and is opened to permit compressed air to be released from the cylinder through the passage, and closed to retain compressed air in the cylinder. Engine braking is supported by release of compressed air through the decompression port into an exhaust channel when the pistons are at or near top dead center positions as the cycle transitions from the intake / compression stroke to the power / exhaust stroke. Compression release from the cylinder via the decompression port after intake and exhaust, port closure can also support other engine operations.
