Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for producing a multi-part piston (10, 110) for an internal combustion engine, comprising the following method steps: producing an upper piston part (11) and a lower piston part (12), each having an inner support element (22, 26; 122, 126) having joining surfaces (24, 28; 124, 128) and an outer support element (23, 27; 123, 127) having joining surfaces (25, 29; 125, 129), applying a high-temperature solder material in the area of at least one joining surface (24, 28 or 25, 29; 124, 128 or 125, 129), assembling the upper piston part (11) and the lower piston part (12) to form a piston body by establishing a contact between the joining surfaces (24, 28 or 25, 29; 124, 128 or 125, 129), placing the piston body in a vacuum furnace and evacuating the vacuum furnace; heating the piston body at a pressure of at most 10 -2 mbar to a soldering temperature of at most 1300°C; cooling the soldered piston (10, 110) at a pressure of at most 10 -2 mbar until the high-temperature solder material is completely solidified. The present invention further relates to a piston (10, 110) that can be produced by means of said method.
Abstract:
An engine having improved combustion characteristics is provided. The engine includes a fuel injection system that is variable between two operational states. In the first operating state, the fuel injectors provide a fuel spray having first spray pattern characteristics. When the system detects that an operation characteristic exceeds a threshold, the fuel injectors are displaced into a second operating state. In the second operating state, the fuel injectors provide a spray pattern having first spray pattern characteristics. The combustion cycle may be characterized by timing the fuel injection so that the fuel is sprayed into the cylinder early in the compression stroke. Further still, the combustion cycle may be characterized by controlling the fuel pressure so that the fuel pressure is inversely related to the load on the engine.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a piston (100) for an internal combustion engine. The piston has a surface on the combustion side (110) wherein a depression (130) having a depression edge (140) and a depression floor (132) is arranged in the surface and the depression has a maximum depth of t max in the axial direction of the piston, measured from the combustion side surface. The combustion side surface furthermore has at least one protrusion (150) that is arranged on a section of the depression edge (142) and has a depth t aus , wherein the depth t aus of the protrusion is smaller than the depth of the depression t max in the axial direction of the piston.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for operating a direct-injection, self-striking internal combustion engine, and a correspondingly configured internal combustion engine. Into a piston head (5) of the piston (2), a piston recess (6) is formed, which passes into an essentially ring-shaped staging chamber (7) in the transition region of the piston head (5). Injection jets (9, 9') of an injection unit (8) are fed to the staging chamber (7) and there diverted in such a way that a first partial quantity (11) of fuel is diverted into the piston recess (6) in an axial direction (14) and a radial direction (15), that a second partial quantity (12) of fuel in the axial direction (14) and the radial direction (15) is diverted into the combustion chamber (4) via the piston head (5), and that a third partial quantity (13) of fuel is diverted into a circumferential direction (16), wherein each of the three partial quantities (13, 13') of adjacent injection jets (9, 9') meet together in the circumferential direction (16) and are subsequently diverted inwards in the radial direction (15).

L'invention propose un piston (26) pour un moteur à combustion interne (10) à allumage par compression et à injection directe, comportant dans sa face supérieure (24), un bol (56) délimitant la partie inférieure d'une chambre de combustion (20), caractérisé en ce que le bol (56) comporte une première zone centrale de combustion (60) et au moins une deuxième zone périphérique de combustion (62), qui entoure la première zone centrale (60), et en ce que des moyens d'injection (44, 58) sont susceptibles, en fonction de paramètres de fonctionnement déterminés du moteur, d'injecter du carburant sélectivement vers la première zone centrale (60) et/ou au moins vers la deuxième zone (62) du bol.
Abstract:
A piston (10) for an internal combustion engine has a re-entrant type combustion bowl (13). The combustion bowl (13) comprises two re-entrant volumes (16, 17) in fluid communication and cascaded with respect to the longitudinal axias of the piston. The cascaded re-entrant volumes (16, 17) enhance gas velocities within the combustion bowl to improve fuel combustion.
