.~ Gas engines (diesel type) convertible from liquid to gas or operable with liquid and gas
Unofficial Alpha Subclasses: R GE A
DEFINITION
Classification: 123/27
Internal-combustion engines in which air or equivalent noncombustible gas is supplied to the working cylinder and compressed therein by a distinct compression-stroke of the working piston to such a degree that the temperature of the gas rises to such a point that a combustible supplied thereto will be ignited by the highly- compressed noncombustible gas upon coming into contact therewith, after which and after the beginning of the working stroke a combustible upon being supplied to the body of the compressed noncombustible gas ignited as it comes into contact therewith and burns at constant pressure or perhaps constant temperature. The cycle upon which the engines occurring in this subclass operate, is sometimes designated by text-writers as the "Diesel" cycle.
(1) Note. For engines in which gas is burned at constant pressure, see this class, subclasses 61 and 68.
