Wolverine Motor Works
In Fig. 103 is illustrated the two-cycle stationary motor. The charging-chamber and valve are located at the upper end of the cylinder, and the exhaust ports at the lower end of the stroke in the walls of the cylinder, and are uncovered by the piston at near the end of its down-stroke. The operation is as follows: The up-stroke of the piston draws a charge of air and gas into the crank chamber of engine, the down-stroke compresses the gas slightly in the base, and when the piston is near the end of the down-stroke a port is opened in the cylinder head which permits the compressed gas in the crank chamber to pass through a passage at the side of the cylinder through the open port of the cylinder head into the upper end of the cylinder. The next up-stroke of the piston compresses the explosive gas mixture, and when the piston is near the end of the up-stroke the charge of explosive gas is exploded by an electric spark, which drives the piston down. When the piston is near the end of the down-stroke it uncovers an annular port on the side of the cylinder which permits the exhaust to escape, and immediately after the exhaust port opens, the port in the cylinder head is opened, admitting a new charge, at the same time driving the balance of the exploded charge out of the exhaust port. This is repeated at every revolution.
The stationary engines are made in sizes of ¾, 1, 2, and up to 12 H.P. |
