Abstract
Internal combustion engine system. The system includes a single cylinder engine having an engine volume, the single cylinder engine having an intake manifold for introducing air into the engine and an exhaust manifold for discharge of exhaust gases. A turbocharger communicates with the exhaust manifold to receive exhaust gases to power the turbocharger. The turbocharger includes a compressor section communicating with the intake manifold to pressurize ambient air. An air capacitor is arranged to receive the pressurized ambient air from the turbocharger and to deliver the pressurized air to the engine during an intake stroke.
