6342. Owen, C. T., and Kimmins, E. R. March 22, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Gas and like engines; compressed-air engines.- An explosion engine is provided with. a watercooled condenser to reduce the back-pressure on the piston ; the condenser surrounds the admission pipe to heat the charge and may surround the cylinder. The invention is described in connexion with a combined expansion and explosion engine using preferably oxygen and hydrogen stored in reservoirs D, D'. These expand first in a cylinder A and are then led through the condenser E to the explosion cylinders B, C. In small plants, the cylinder A may be dispensed with, and the initial expansion of the. gases used for cooling the exhaust only. Instead of hydrogen, other liquefied or highly compressed gases, such as carbonic oxide, methane, water gas, and producer gas, or hydrocarbon liquid or vapour may be used ; air may be used instead of oxygen.
