A four-stroke internal combustion engine operates on the Otto cycle, a design conceived by German-born Nicolaus August Otto as early as 1861 and eventually awarded patent number 365701.
Unlike its high-pressure cousin ME-GI, the ME-GA is an Otto cycle rather than a diesel engine. The ME-GA was targeted specifically at LNG carriers that use their cargo boil-off gas as fuel ...
Contrast to all modern combustion engines that run the four-stroke Otto cycle that typically features one compression and ignition phase, Porsche’s system adds another. The result is that in ...
