本论文叙述TACOM/卡明斯绝热发动机方案的目标、进展及未来的计划。绝热发动机的原理是采用高温材料隔绝柴油机燃烧室,使发动机在接近绝热的高温工况下工作。由于通过采用涡轮机械和高温材料,将通常损失在冷却和排气系统中的那部分热能转换为有用功,因此获得了更多的功率并改善了效率。发动机的试验已经反复证明绝热发动机是世界上 This paper describes the TACOM / Cummins adiabatic engine program objectives, progress and future plans. Adiabatic engine principle is the use of high temperature materials isolated diesel engine combustion chamber, the engine at close to adiabatic work under high temperature conditions. By using turbomachinery and high temperature materials, the portion of the heat energy that is typically lost in the cooling and exhaust systems is converted to useful work, thereby gaining more power and improving efficiency. Engine tests have repeatedly proven that adiabatic engines are in the world
