Abstract

Hydraulic free-piston engine is a compact machine which is composed of a conventional engine and a hydraulic pump. Compared to the conventional technology, the free piston engine has many potential advantages. In this paper, a simulation model for a single piston hydraulic free-piston engine (SPHFPE) is described, and the differences in motion characteristics between the free-piston engine and the conventional engine are presented. And varying piston mass and starting pressures have an impact on the motion characteristics of the free-piston engine.
