Study on the Motion Characteristics of a Hydraulic Free-Piston Engine

Article Preview

Abstract:

Hydraulic free-piston engines have potential advantages of cost and fuel efficiency. Due to no crankshaft system, it is difficult and important to control the piston motion and working frequency precisely. This paper studies on the motion characteristics for the hydraulic free-piston engine effects of operation parameters, and results are presented. The TDC (Top Dead Center) position and CR (Compression Ration) are great influenced by starting pressure and fuel injection timing, and working frequency is mainly influenced by piston mass, starting pressure and fuel quantity.
