Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Regeneration eines Partikelfilters in einer Abgasanlage eines Verbrennungsmotors. Dabei wird der Verbrennungsmotor in einem Normalbetrieb mit einem stöchiometrischen Verbrennungsluftverhältnis betrieben. Zur Regeneration des Partikelfilters ist vorgesehen, dass das Verbrennungsluftverhältnis in Richtung mager verstellt wird und gleichzeitig die Verbrennung in den Brennräumen des Verbrennungsmotors durch eine entsprechende Anpassung der Zündenergie, der Zünddauer und/oder der Zündhäufigkeit stabilisiert wird, um Zündaussetzer und den damit verbundenen unkontrollierten Eintrag von unverbranntem Kraftstoff in die Abgasanlage zu vermeiden. Durch das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zur Regeneration des Partikelfilters ist eine schnellere und emissionsärmere Regeneration des Partikelfilters möglich. Die Erfindung betrifft ferner einen Verbrennungsmotor mit einer Abgasanlage und einem Steuergerät, welcher dazu eingerichtet ist, ein erfindungsgemäßes Verfahren durchzuführen.
Abstract:
A controller for an internal combustion engine includes a crank angle detector and an ECU. The ECU is configured to: (a) calculate a mass fraction burned; (b) acquire the crank angle, which is detected by the crank angle detector when the mass fraction burned reaches a predetermined mass fraction burned, as a specified crank angle; and (c) control at least one of an amount of fuel injected, an amount of intake air, or ignition energy on the basis of a first difference. The first difference is a difference between a first parameter and a second parameter. The first parameter is a crank angle period from an ignition time to the specified crank angle or a correlation value of the crank angle period. The second parameter is a target value of the crank angle period or a target value of the correlation value.
Abstract:
The purpose of the present invention is to provide an engine control system that is capable of promoting mixing of fuel and air during exhaust gas recirculation, thereby suppressing combustion fluctuation of a gasoline engine, such that efficiency and exhaust gas purification can be simultaneously achieved. The engine control system controls an engine and is equipped with an injection device for injecting fuel directly into a cylinder and a recirculation device for recirculating exhaust gas to the intake side. When the temperature of the recirculating exhaust gas recirculated by the recirculation device is high as opposed to when the temperature is low, or when the amount of the recirculating exhaust gas recirculated by the recirculation device is large as opposed to when the amount is small, at least one of the following is executed: advancing of the fuel injection timing (IT_SP (n-2) of the injection device; increasing of the fuel pressure (FP) to be supplied to the injection device; reducing the frequency (n) of divided multi-stage injection to be performed by the injection device during the period between intake top dead center and compression top dead center; and reducing of the interval of divided multi-stage injection (IT_RE (n-2)).

Abstract:
To effectively improve flame propagation speed utilizing active species in an internal combustion engine 10 that promotes combustion utilizing active species. The internal combustion engine 10 is provided with an internal combustion engine main body 11 that combusts fuel air mixture in a combustion chamber 20 and an active species generation unit 13 that generates active species in a region which a flame surface has not yet reached during flame propagation in the combustion chamber 20. In a region which the flame will eventually pass through, the active species generation unit 13 generates the active species while the flame surface has not yet reached the region.
Abstract:
The ignition system (10) of an engine (particularly for a UAV) has a primary (10a), and a secondary (10b) ignition system to provide redundancy for ‘get you home’ capability should the primary ignition system fail. The secondary ignition provides a lower energy or shorter duration spark than the higher energy or longer duration sparking of the primary ignition system, and is retarded relative to primary sparking. Timing of the secondary sparking can be advanced in the event of primary sparking failure. Fuelling strategy can be shifted from a leaner stratified charge to a richer homogenous charge when relying just on the secondary ignition system for ignition. The secondary ignition system can be of a lower spark energy and/or duration than the primary ignition system, avoiding the cost, complexity and weight of replicating the primary ignition system, and to improve packaging within the engine housing, particularly within the limited payload and space limits of a UAV.

Abstract:
An ignition device of the present invention repeatedly applies a high voltage across electrodes of an ignition plug with work of a high voltage generating circuit. In a combustion chamber that has a gas flow therein, active species produced by an initial discharge are forced to flow downstream by the gas flow, and thus a resistance Rdc of an air-fuel mixture of that portion is temporarily lowered, and thus, the high voltage application is carried out at a short discharge interval T in such a manner that a resistance ratio (Rdc/Rg) provided relative to a resistance Rg of an air-fuel mixture placed along the shortest distance lg between the electrodes is smaller than 1 (one). With this, a discharge channel produced is gradually extended toward the downstream side of the gas flow thereby elongating the length of the discharge channel. The extension of the discharge channel contributes to growth of a flame core and shortening of an initial combustion period and thus brings about assured ignition.
Abstract:
Based on one or more monitored operation parameters of an internal combustion engine, a set of engine operation conditions necessary to provide combustion stability in a combustion volume of the engine, optimized fuel efficiency, and minimized production of pollutants such as nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and unburned hydrocarbons can be determined. The new set of engine operation conditions can be dynamically implemented in response to changing engine loads and changing engine speeds to maintain a combustion mixture and combustion conditions within a combustion chamber of the engine constrained flammability limits, pollutant generation rates, and fuel efficiency considerations. Related articles, systems, and methods are described.
Abstract:
A system, circuit, and method are provided for generating continuous plasma to control combustion including the ignition and maintenance of the combustion process. An electric potential difference is generated across a pair of electrodes in a combustible bulk gas in the form of an oscillating driving potential just below the arcing threshold which alternates in polarity to cause an alternating gap current between the electrodes which generates continuous plasma to contribute to combustion of the bulk gas by providing for more efficient combustion.
