ABSTRACT:
This steam engine uses an external combustion chamber where fuel is burned in the presence of air, both under pressure. Steam is forced into the combustion chamber at a medium pressure, thereafter being heated by combustion. Steam from the combustion chamber is released to do work in the engine, the pressure falling. Exhaust steam heat is recovered in a heat exchanger by condensed water which is turned back to steam. This new steam is compressed, after which the steam is injected into the combustion chamber to be heated.
