reciprocating combustion engine


Explanation:
Not sure about the "зажигания"="combustion" part, but that might be what has been meant. I am certain about "поршневый"="reciprocating" though. Can be also called "piston engine" as GaryG suggests.
As far as I understand, it refers to combustion engines as opposed to electric motors.
