Life

Trinkler began studying at the St. Petersburg Technological Institute in 1894 . While still a student he began a project to develop an engine with compression ignition . When he had completed his project in the summer of 1898 after completing the fourth year course, the Putilov plant hired him , where he began to build a compressorless high-pressure internal combustion engine, which he called the Trinkler engine. In 1899 he applied for the patent , which he received in 1904. The first attempts began in 1900. With the engine, he achieved an efficiency of 29%, which was widely admired and aroused fears among Russian and foreign heat engine manufacturers .

In the spring of 1902, the new director SI Smirnow of the Putilov plant ordered the cessation of all work on the new engine at the instigation of the petroleum industrialist Emanuel Nobel , who had bought the patent for Rudolf Diesel's engine in 1897 and, after working to improve the design, began series production the Ludvig Nobel (later Russian Diesel ) factory in St. Petersburg. In 1905, Trinkler went to the Körting brothers in Hanover and worked there as chief designer.

After the advantages of the Trinkler motor had been recognized by domestic manufacturers. Trinkler returned in mid-1907 and became head of the heat engine department at the Sormovo shipbuilding plant in Nizhny Novgorod . In 1910 his engines won the great gold medals at the Baku and Yekaterinoslav exhibitions . During the Soviet era , the first powerful two-stroke engine in the USSR was built there. Trinkler founded the Maschinenbau Technikum there and was its first director. In 1930 he received his doctorate in technical sciences without defending a dissertation . In 1934 Trinkler became a professor at the Institute for Shipping in Gorki , without giving up the connection to the Sormowo plant.

In Russia , Trinkler is considered to be the inventor of the Seiliger cycle , although he himself did not make the claim.

Trinkler was married and had two children, Yuri and Irina.
