Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-004018

Opposed-Piston Opposed-Cylinder, an internal combustion engine design where two pistons operate in a single cylinder, moving towards each other to compress the air-fuel mixture. This configuration eliminates the cylinder head and valve train, potentially reducing complexity and heat loss. Achates Power is a company actively developing and commercializing OPOC engine technology.
