Abstract
A structure for mounting a sub-combustion chamber in an internal combustion engine includes a ceramic sub-combustion chamber and a metal casing separated therefrom by an adiabatic air gap. The air gap is locate opposite to a portion of the external surface of the casing that is in contact with a cylinder head so that the negative effects of differences in the thermal characteristics of the sub-combustion chamber, the casing, and the cylinder head are eliminated.
