Green Engine
Green engine is the internal combustion engine with
some or major modifications in its parts and design

Construction and Working of Green Engine:Green engine is really evolutionary concept. Its
construction is a lot varied from the conventional
reciprocating engine. Green engine have rotary type
construction. Central shaft is provided with the four
vanes around it. These vanes run on the internal
wall of engine as shaft rotates. Small chambers are
provided at two inlet ports in which various
functions like intake, compression, mixing and finally
combustion is achieved. Then power of expanding
gases is released in expansion chamber and then
flue gases are sent to exhaust.
Intake: - The air arrives to the engine through the
direct air intake port in the absence of an air inlet
pipe, throttle and inlet valves on the air intake
system. A duct is provided on the sides of the vane
and rotor. The duct is so shaped that when the air
moves through, strong swirls generate when it gets
compressed in the chamber. The air pushes the vane
blades which in turn impart a proportionate rotation
in the small rotor which houses the chambers. The
inlet air duct ends with a very narrow opening to the
chamber.
Compression: - The rushing air from the duct is
pushed by the blades into the small chambers in the
rotor. The volume of these chambers is
comparatively
very
small.
Naturally,
the
compression obtained by such a procedure is very
satisfactory. As earlier mentioned, the compressed
air is in a swirling state, ready to be mixed with the
fuel which will be injected into the chamber when it
will be place before the injector by the already
rotating rotor.
Mixing: - As soon as the chamber comes in front of
the fuel injector, the injector sprays fuel into the

compressed air. Because of the shape of the

chamber, the fuel mixes well with the compressed
air. The importance of ideal mixing leads to deletion
of CO emission. And also because of the strong
swirling, a centrifugal effect is exerted in the air-fuel
mixture. Moreover, the rotation of the burner,
makes this centrifugal affects all the more effective.
Mixing phase has enough time to produce an ideal
air-fuel mixture as the spark plug is positioned
towards the other end of the rotor or burner.
Combustion: - As the chamber rotates towards the
end of its path, it is positioned before the spark
plug. A spark flies from the plug into the air-fuel
mixture. Because of the mixing phase, the air-fuel
mixture is denser near the spark plug, thereby,
enabling lean-burning of the charge and also a
uniform flame front. As soon as the whole charge is
ignited, the burner rotates to position itself in front
of the narrow exit.
Power: - The expanded gas rushes out of the
chamber through the narrow opening, thereby
pushing the name in the process. The sudden
increase in volume ensures that more power is
released. Or in other words, the thermal energy is
fully utilized.
Exhaust: - As the thermal energy is fully utilized, the
exhaust gases bring along comparatively less heat
energy. This mainly helps in the thermal efficiency of
the engine. It raises the engines thermal efficiency
and also because of the complete burning of the
charge, poisonous gases like CO are absent in the
exhaust emissions.

Technical Feature:- Compared to conventional

piston engines, operated on four phases, the Green
engine is an actual six phase internal combustion
engine with much higher expansion ratio. Thus it has
six independent or separate working processes:
intake, compression, mixing, combustion, power and
exhaust, resulting in the high air charge rate.
Satisfactory air-fuel mixing, complete burning, high
combustion efficiency and full expansion. The most

important characteristic is the expansion ratio being

much bigger than the compression ratio. Also, the
other main features are the revolutionary
innovations of the sequential variable compression
ratio, constant volume combustion and selfadapting sealing system. Therefore, an engine
having extremely high thermal efficiency, near-zero
emissions, quietness, light and small, lower cost with
capability of burning of various fuels has come into
being.
Direct Air Intake:- Direct air intake means that there
is no air inlet pipe, throttle and inlet valves on the
air intake system. Air filter is directly connected to
the intake port of the engine, and together with the
less heating effect of air intake process, benefited
from lower temperature of independent intake
chamber, a highest volumetric efficiency which
makes engine produce a high torque of output on all
speed range is achieved. The pump loss which
consumes the part of engine power is eliminated.
Also fuel measuring facilities are built-in, and parts
are saved.
Sequential Variable Compression Ratio: - This
greatly revolutionary innovation can provide the
most suitable compression ratio for the engine
whatever operation mode it works on with burning
variety of fuels. Therefore, an excellent combustion
performance is attained.
Direct Fuel Injection: - Direct fuel injection can
provide higher output and torque, while at the same
time it also enhances the response for acceleration.

conventional engine whose performances lack of

efficient combustion time, resulting in heavy CO
emission and low fuel usage rate, the Green engine
has a sufficient controllable combustion time to
match any fuels.
Strong Swirling :- As a tangential air duct in between
combustion chamber and compression chamber, a
very swirling which could lost until gas port is
opened, can be formed while air is pumped into the
combustion chamber. Consequently, the air-fuel
mixing and the combustion process can have a
satisfying working condition.
Self-Adapting Sealing System: - This is another
revolutionary innovation applied in the Green
engine: it can eliminate a number of seal plates or
strips to achieve gapless seal and to provide most
efficient and reliable sealing system with less
friction.
Modular Design: - Use of modular design is the best
way for engine mass production. Thus stacking of
rotors easily extends range of available power.
Limited Parts and Small Size: - There is only a few
dozens of parts which can be easily manufactured in
the engine structure when compared with modern
piston engine which comprises of more than a
thousand parts. It suggests that the cost will be very
low. Also, due to the compact structure the package
and the weight of the Green engine will be only 1/5
to 1/10 of the regular engine on the same output.
Advantages:-

Super Air-Fuel Mixing: - Since the independent airfuel mixing phase is having enough time for mixing
air and fuel under strong swirling and hot situation,
the engine is capable to burn any liquid or gas fuels
without modifications. An ideal air-fuel mixture
could delete CO emission. Also centrifugal effect
coming from both strong swirling and rotation of the
burner makes the air-fuel mixture denser near the
spark plug. It benefits to cold starting and managing
lean-burning.
Lowest Surface to Volume Ratio: - The shape of
combustion chamber herein can be designed as
global as possible. Thus, a lowest surface to be
obtained, and the engine is having less heat losses
and high combustion efficiency.
Controllable Combustion Time:- Due to the
independent combustion phase, compared to the

Higher Efficiency.
Lower exhaust temperature.
Emission control.
For low weight and size green engine
delivers much better performance.
Better performance.
Low cost engine.
Less noisy and less vibrations and hence
high efficient.

Conclusion:- The Green engines prototypes have

been recently developed, and also because of the
unique design, limitations have not been
determined to any extent. But even in the face of
limitations if any, the Green engine is sure to serve
the purpose to a large extent.
