Abstract

In a mixed cooling system for the piston of a rotary-piston internal combustion engine having a trochoid construction with a triangular piston and a liner surface in the form of a double arc of a circle, a fuel injector is arranged in a side-wall of the liner and its jet is directed toward the inside wall of the corresponding corner of the piston which forms the driving corner of the expansion chamber when the piston is about to reach its bottom dead point. The starting of the injection cycle is determined by a piston position in which the corner of the piston forming the driving corner of the expansion chamber intersects the straight line located in the axis of the injection jet, and the end of the injection cycle is determined by a piston position in which the driving corner of the expansion chamber has moved past the exhaust opening.
