摘要:
A full time lean air fuel mixture running spark ignited air cooled aircraft piston engine. In one embodiment, a drop-in substitution is provided for an equivalent make, model, and engine size, wherein the new, rebuilt, or reconfigured engine provides as much or more horsepower when compared to the original engine, but runs at a lean air fuel ratio condition during normal operating modes, including takeoff, climb, and cruise, thus saving significantly on fuel. In yet another embodiment, a drop-in substitution having a somewhat larger cylinder displacement volume may be provided to attain equivalent or enhanced maximum horsepower while operating at lean air fuel ratios.Enhanced engine life may be anticipated, since cylinder head temperatures (CHTs) may be reduced, compared to engines using rich air fuel ratios for climb and cruise conditions. Aircraft using such engines are also disclosed.

A two-stroke engine, (1) is disclosed which includes (I) transfer channels (15, 15′, 15″, 16, 16′, 16″) which open into the crankcase (8) and fluidly connect the crankcase (8) to the combustion chamber (3) at specific positions of the piston (4) and (ii) an intake channel (11) for supplying an air/fuel mixture into the crankcase (8) via an inlet (9) and is connected to an air filter (13). At least one air channel (12) supplies additional combustion air into at least one transfer channel (15, 15′, 15″, 16, 16′, 16″). For a good load-independent air/fuel mixture ratio, the length (a) of the intake channel (11) is up to 60% of the length (b) of the clean air path; and, length (b) is the mean channel length from the air filter (13) to the opening (19, 20) of a transfer channel (15, 16) into the crankcase (8).

A method is provided for controlling the combustion parameters of an internal combustion engine without a PCV solenoid during a boil-off condition. The methodology records the temperature of the engine when the vehicle is turned off. When the vehicle is restarted, the methodology determines the amount the engine has cooled since it was shut down. Based on the difference in engine temperature and the current engine temperature, the methodology determines the amount of boil-off corruption remaining. The methodology then determines a new boil-off corruption fuel multiplier based on the amount of boil-off corruption remaining. The new boil-off corruption fuel multiplier is used to modify fuel control until the boil-off condition ceases.

A hydrogen fuel system including an engine is mounted on a vehicle and is operable when the engine is running, for generating and storing hydrogen on the vehicle. The system includes a hydrogen gas tank, a chemical reactor with catalyst, a heat exchanger, an alcohol tank and an acetic ether tank. The alcohol from the alcohol tank is vaporized in the heat exchanger, reacts with the catalyst in the chemical reactor and forms hydrogen which passes to the hydrogen gas tank and acetic ether, which is stored in the acetic ether tank.

It is determined whether an engine for a flexible fuel vehicle is in a start enabling state based on alcohol concentration of fuel supplied to the engine. When it is determined that the engine is in the start enabling state, a heater for vaporizing fuel is energized. Current flowing in the heater is compared with a reference current representing completion of warmup of the engine. When the current becomes smaller than the reference current, the heater is de-energized, and the fuel is injected to start the engine.

The combination of an intake air supply system with an internal combustion engine having a charge air cooler, a cylinder charging air intake and an exhaust discharge is provided. The intake air supply system includes a Roots-type positive displacement blower having inlet and outlet means and an exhaust gas driven turbo-compressor connected in series with the blower. The intake air supply system further includes a bypass passage connecting the blower inlet and outlet and a valve in the bypass passage to control the flow of fluid through the bypass. The valve is operative to open and close the bypass passage in response to engine operating parameters and to modulate the flow area of the passage in response to the same engine operating parameters so as to infinitely vary the flow area between the open and closed positions of the valve. The valve is modulated to operatively maintain the bypass passage at least partially open at engine idle, whereby the valve means permits bypass flow to recirculate air flow from the blower outlet to the inlet to reduce or limit the engine power absorbed by the blower or to conduct additional air flow around the blower directly from the turbo-compressor to the engine intake to avoid the restriction of the blower to increased charging air flow. A single valve means thus provides a dual function capability.

We provide a torch fuel cell for a dual gas-liquid fuel engine, the torch fuel cell being positioned internally of the variable volume chamber formed by the cylinder, piston and cylinder head which accepts and is adapted to compress the air/gas mixture forming the main fuel source. Preferably, the torch fuel cell is carried by the piston at, or adjacent to, the end face thereof. Suitable means are provided to deliver liquid fuel into an auto-ignition chamber in the fuel cell and other means for delivering the thermal and chemical products of such auto-ignition into the variable volume chamber to ignite the main gaseous fuel source.

Ceramic materials to be insert-cast are disclosed, which each contain not less than 65% by volume of aluminum titanate as a crystalline phase, and have an average particle diameter of crystals thereof being not less than 10 .mu.m, Young's modulus of 50 to 2,000 kgf/mm.sup.2, compression strength of 5 to 40 kgf/mm.sup.2, and porosity of 5 to 35%. Ceramic port liners are also disclosed, which are free from cracking due to compression force during insert-casting, peeling-off during use, and facilitate insert-casting. To attain this, a reinforcement which meets either one or both of requirements that differences in coefficient of thermal expansion at 800.degree. C. and Young's modulus between the reinforcement and a material constituting the port liner body are in a range of .+-.0.1% and in a range of .+-.1,000 kgf/mm.sup.2, respectively, is filled into a depressed portion at an outer peripheral surface of the port liner body to form an integrated structure with a flat or swelled surface. Alternatively, the outer peripheral surface of the port liner body is worked to give uneven portions at a joining surface of the port liner body to a metal to insert-cast the port liner. Another alternative is to utilize a stress-releasing slit formed in a wall of the port liner body. Further, the outer peripheral surface of the ceramic port liner body may be covered with a ceramic sheet which is irreversively expandable by heating.

A fuel injector is mounted in said torch cell at a predetermined angle to an axis of said torch cell. The torch cell has an auto-ignition chamber that is in operative communication with the injector by an injector nozzle passageway. The injector nozzle passageway enters the auto-ignition chamber at a predetermined angle relative to the cell axis. The torch cell provides an improved dual fuel engine and method for operating a dual fuel engine by use of its autoignition chamber. We also provide a cylinder head which can replace present dual fuel engine cylinder heads. Our cylinder head has at least one of our torch cells operatively connected to the cylinder head.
