Libertine LPE free piston technology targeting power generation, waste-heat recovery and range-extended EV applications; feasibility study with PETRONAS

Green Car Congress

Unlike a conventional internal combustion engine, a free piston engine does not have connecting rods and a crank shaft to govern each piston’s movement and convert the reciprocating action into rotary motion. Each piston is free to move along its axis under the action of linear forces including those due to combustion pressure.
