This engine is one of‘ the vertical Otto cycle type, with cylinder at base, and is made by Henry J. Hartig, of 45 York street Brooklyn. Designed in 1890, it has gradually been brought to its present form and some 100 or more are now in active use, ranging from ½ to 6 H. P. in size. Flame ignition is used, in conjunction with a balanced ignition piston valve ; the gas and exhaust valves are of the poppet form. A fly-wheel governor regulates by diluting the explosive charge. In efficiency it approximates similar size Otto engines, and the special claims of simplicity, of high compression, good, workmanship and ease of cleaning seem borne out by the design. The cut well represents it, and a more detailed account may be found in Cassier's Magazine for August, .93. It is said that larger sizes, to be built, will be of horizontal form. |
