Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, methods, and techniques relating to engine start/stop functionality are disclosed. Automatic engine start/stop controls can be disabled during engine operating conditions in which one or more combustion parameters indicate a lack of combustion stability in one or more cylinders of the engine. Engine start/stop controls are enabled when the one or more combustion parameters satisfy combustion parameter conditions indicating combustion stability in the one or more cylinders.

Abstract: A method of making a piston for an opposed-piston engine comprises providing a piston. The piston comprises a substantially cylindrical portion including a sidewall and a piston crown located at an end of the piston. The piston crown comprises an end surface structured to form a combustion chamber when disposed within a cylinder bore in cooperation with an end surface of a cooperating opposing piston. A bonding layer including a bonding material is deposited on the end surface of the piston crown using a high velocity oxy-fuel spray process. At least one thermal barrier layer comprising ceramic material is deposited above the bonding layer.

Abstract: A piston for an opposed-piston engine has a thermal barrier coating on at least the piston crown. The piston, at least the piston crown, is made of titanium or a titanium alloy. The thermal barrier coating includes a bonding material and a ceramic material. The bonding material can be present in the thermal barrier coating at an interface of the thermal barrier coating and the bulk of the piston material. The ceramic material can be a high R-Value material. In particular, the piston with a thermal barrier coating can be an exhaust piston for an opposed-piston engine.

Abstract: A system includes an exhaust passage and a waste heat recovery system. The exhaust passage is structured to fluidly couple to an exhaust manifold of an engine, and to receive exhaust gas from the engine. The waste heat recovery system includes a working fluid circuit, a superheater, and an expander. The working fluid circuit includes a pump to circulate a working fluid through the working fluid circuit, including through the engine. Heat is transferred from the engine to the working fluid. The superheater is positioned along the working fluid circuit downstream of the engine. The superheater is fluidly coupled to the exhaust passage and transfers heat from the exhaust gas to the working fluid. The expander is positioned along the working fluid circuit downstream of the superheater. The expander generates useful energy from the heat transferred to the working fluid from the exhaust gas and the engine.

Abstract: One exemplary embodiment is a system comprising a multi-fuel engine structured to selectably combust varying proportions of a first type of fuel and a second type of fuel, and an electronic control system structured to control the provision of at least one of the first type of fuel and the second type of fuel to the engine using a multi-factor cost optimization. The multi-factor cost optimization may account for a plurality of factors including one or more environment factors, location factors, mission factors, warranty factors, operator-specified factors and/or fleet-specified factors.
