CA 2376594

An air bottoming powertrain, suitable for use in automobiles includes an internal combustion engine (18), a compressor (1) which receives gaseous working fluid and compresses it to an elevated pressure, a cooler (16) for operating the compressor isothermally, an expander (4) for deriving work from the compressed gas and a heat exchanger (3) located in the compressed gas line for indirect heat exchange between the compressed working fluid and exhaust gas from the internal combustion engine. The expander may have a cylindrical barrel with a plurality of cylinders arranged in a circle and open at one end face of the cylinder barrel, which end face is sealed closed by a valve plate. The cylinder barrel and valve plate allow relative rotation therebetween to drive an output shaft, driven by compressed gas from the compressor.

L'invention concerne un ensemble moteur à injection d'air en fin de cycle à utiliser dans les automobiles, qui comprend un moteur à combustion interne (18), un compresseur (1) qui reçoit le fluide de travail gazeux et le comprime à une pression élevée, un refroidisseur (16) permettant l'exploitation isothermique du compresseur, un détendeur (4) pour dériver le travail du gaz comprimé et un échangeur de chaleur (3) situé dans le conduit de gaz comprimé, de manière qu'un échange de chaleur indirect soit assuré entre le fluide de travail comprimé et le gaz d'échappement du moteur à combustion interne. Le détendeur peut être doté d'un barillet cylindrique comprenant plusieurs cylindres disposés en cercle et ouvert au niveau d'une face d'extrémité, ladite face étant fermée de manière étanche par une plaque soupape. Le barillet à cylindres et la plaque soupape sont rotatifs l'un par rapport à l'autre, de sorte qu'un arbre de sortie commandé par le gaz comprimé du compresseur soit entraîné.
