METHOD FOR OPERATING AN AXIAL PISTON MOTOR, AND AXIAL PISTON MOTOR
First Claim
1. A method for operation of an axial piston motor (10), in which method fuel and compressed combustion medium are continuously combusted in a combustion chamber (20) to produce working medium, and delivered to successive working cylinders (30), in which working pistons (35) move back and forth, which pistons in turn drive a power take-off (50) and compressor pistons (45), which move back and forth in compressor cylinders (40), in which the combustion medium is compressed, wherein the combustion medium is drawn in by way of compressor inlet valves (41), and the compressed combustion medium is delivered to the combustion chamber (20) by the compressor cylinders (40), by way of compressor outlet valves (42), wherein at least one of the compressor outlet valves (42) is closed with positive control, and opened by way of a compressor pressure that builds up in the respective compressor cylinder (40).

Abstract
In an axial piston motor in which fuel and compressed combustion medium are continuously burned in a combustion chamber so as to be turned into the working fluid and successively be delivered to working cylinders, at least one of the compressor discharge valves is closed in a positively controlled manner and is opened by a compressor pressure building up in the respective compressor cylinder.

- 9. An axial piston motor (10) having a combustion chamber (20) that combusts continuously compressed combustion medium and fuel to produce working medium, having working cylinders (30) that are connected with the combustion chamber (20) by means of shot connections (25) that can open and close cyclically, and in which working pistons (35) move back and forth, having compressor cylinders (40) in which compressor pistons (45) move back and forth, which pistons are driven by the working pistons (45), and having at least one combustion medium feed line (56) that leads from compressor outlet valves (42) of the compressor cylinders (40) to the combustion chamber (20), wherein at least one of the compressor outlet valves (42) has a closure part (71) that opens away from the compressor cylinder (40), wherein the closure part (71), which interacts with a valve drive (60), opens counter to a restriction arrangement (73), and wherein the valve drive (60) can be released in the opening direction (72) and/or acts on the closure part (71) only in the opening direction (72).
