ABSTRACT More than 60 % of the heating value of the fuel consumed in the usual internal combustion engines is wasted past remedy. The present invention, which is applicable in combination with any type of internal combustion engine, is devised to reduce the heat losses and to improve the ef- ficiency of the thermodynamic cycles by making practicable an increase of the compression ratio, while suppressing knocking. Besides, a reduction in the emission of pollu- tants is achieved. The invention embodies apparatus to generate super- heated steam, comprising a water preheater, a forced - cir- culation steam generator, a steam separator, a steam super- heater which forms the actual jacketed cooling system of the engine, and a feasibly complete thermal insulation sys- tem. Said apparatus is integrated with the internal combus- tion engine, its steam generating constituent parts being arranged in countercurrent to the flow of the combustion products generated by the engine's process. The superheated pressure steam is utilized as mo- tive power for an injector-compressor serving to pre-com- press the combustion air for compression-ignition or other fuel injection engines, or to supercharge the air-fuel mix- ture in the case of carburetor engines. In all cases, the compressed gaseous intake, incorporating the injected su- perheated steam, enters the engine's working space with in- creased enthalpy. If superheated steam is produced in excess of the demand of the compressor, it will be fed directly into the working space with appropriate timing. The invention offers the convenience of reducing the usual heat losses to the only heat being rejected with the cooled exhaust gases.
