摘要:
In an opposed-piston engine, two or more fuel injectors are mounted to a cylinder for direct side injection into the cylinder. The injectors are controlled so as to inject either a single fuel pulse or a plurality of fuel pulses per cycle of engine operation in order to initiate combustion during varying engine speeds and operating conditions.

A rocking journal bearing is provided in a piston coupling mechanism. The bearing includes a sleeve and a wristpin constructed with two sets of eccentrically-disposed bearing surfaces which alternate in accepting a compressive load during an operational cycle of the bearing. The sleeve includes a network of grooves to transport oil to the bearing surfaces. Lubricating oil flow through the bearing is minimized by limiting provision of pressurized oil from the wristpin to the network of grooves to portions of the cycle when one or the other of the sets of bearing surfaces receives the compressive load.

Load transfer point offset of rocking journal bearings in uniflow-scavenged, opposed-piston engines with phased crankshafts includes differing offsets for the load transfer points of opposed pistons. More specifically, under the condition that a first crankshaft leads the second crankshaft, an angular offset of a rocking journal wristpin of a piston coupled to the first crankshaft proportional to an offset of the first crankshaft relative to the second crankshaft is made to ensure adequate oil film thickness to the wristpin when it experiences a peak combustion pressure during a power stroke.

A rocking journal bearing for a two-stroke cycle engine includes a bearing sleeve (200) having a bearing surface (202) with a plurality of axially-spaced, eccentrically-disposed surface segments (204) and a rocking journal (220) having a plurality of axially-spaced, eccentrically-disposed journal segments (221). The rocking journal is retained for rocking oscillation on the bearing surface. Space (335) for receiving oil is provided in the rocking journal (220) and oil delivery outlets (242) acting through the journal segments deliver received oil to the bearing surfaces.
摘要:
A fuel injection system for an internal combustion engine includes a common rail, a plurality of accumulator injectors, and at least one accumulator controller separate from the accumulator injectors and connected to the common rail. Each accumulator controller includes a solenoid-controlled valve to control the fuel injection operations of one or more accumulator injectors.

摘要:
In a fuel injection spray pattern for an opposed piston engine, the individual spray plumes have both radial and tangential components with respect to an injection axis (102, 114, 121), which adds a swirl component to a spray pattern of fuel directly injected into the combustion chamber of the opposed piston engine.
