The solution of the invention is an internal combustion engine with oxygen concentrating equipment (80) wherein the air compressed in the compression stroke is not yet used for combustion but taken out of the cylinder space (15) and used for operating the oxygen concentrating equipment (80). The essence of the invention is that the cylinder space (15) and one or more cells of the oxygen concentrating equipment (80) are temporarily connected during each compression stroke of the engine. The air taken in the cylinder space (15) during the intake stroke and pushed out by the piston (5) during the compression stroke charges one or more cells (41 A-41Z, 51 A-51Z) of the oxygen concentrating equipment (80) and after separating most of the nitrogen in the cells (41 A-41Z, 51A-51Z), the oxygen rich air is injected into the cylinder space (15) through a compressor (33) at the beginning of the expansion stroke by an injector (11). The fuel is also introduced into the cylinder space (15) at the beginning of the expansion stroke by an injector. The ignition may be spark ignition, self-ignition (heat ignition) or their load dependent, speed dependent or power requirement dependent dynamic combination. The invention further relates to the method, the computer program product and the computer-readable medium operating the internal combustion engine with oxygen concentrating equipment.

A split cycle internal combustion engine includes a combustion cylinder accommodating a combustion piston and a compression cylinder accommodating a compression piston. The engine also includes a controller arranged to receive an indication of a parameter associated with the combustion cylinder and/or a fluid associated therewith and to control an exhaust valve of the combustion cylinder in dependence on the indicated parameter to cause the exhaust valve to close during the return stroke of the combustion piston, before the combustion piston has reached its top dead centre position (TDC), when the indicated parameter is less than a target value for the parameter; and close on completion of the return stroke of the combustion piston, as the combustion piston reaches its top dead centre position (TDC), when the indicated parameter is equal to or greater than the target value for the parameter.

A robust apparatus to improve the efficiency and emissions of a combustion process using a plurality of cell elements disposed within a housing that is placed in the air intake to a combustion chamber. Each of the plurality of cell elements include an inner electrode and an outer electrode. The inner electrodes are electrically and physically bonded to a bonding ring. The bonding ring with the bonded inner electrodes may then be encased in a potting material to provide a robust element assembly. The opposing end of the element assembly may also be bonded together in a potting material. The robust element assembly as described herein is better suited to survive the harsh environment of the ozone cell place in or near a combustion engine or process.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide an engine with reforming cylinders which are fuel reforming devices capable of supplying a reformed fuel according to the outputs of outputting cylinders. The engine is provided with the outputting cylinders for burning the fuel and the reforming cylinders which are the fuel reforming devices for reforming the fuel through the reciprocating motions of pistons. The amount of reformed fuel supplied to all the outputting cylinders is changed according to the outputs of the outputting cylinders while maintaining the amount of supplied fuel and the amount of suctioned gas, which are supplied into one reforming cylinder.
