摘要:
In order to avoid the formation of smoke and HC when the compression ratio of a swirl chamber type Diesel engine is lowered either by design or by operation in rarified atmospheres, the fuel injector is located on one side of the center axis of the swirl chamber so as to maximize the distance for which the injected fuel can travel before contacting a wall of the chamber and the auxiliary transfer port through which a fraction of the injected fuel is fed to the main combution chamber is arranged so that the axis thereof intersects the axis of the fuel injector and therefore the trajectory along which fuel is injected, at a point defined within the swirl chamber per se and on the opposite side of the center axis with respect to the fuel injector.

An engine cooling system is disclosed for use with an internal combustion engine including first and second engine banks arranged with a V-angle, first and second cylinder units arranged in the first and second engine banks, respectively, the second cylinder unit being disabled under low load conditions. An engine coolant is circulated from a radiator through a cooling jacket disposed in the first engine bank to a cooling jacket disposed in the second engine bank and hence to the radiator.
摘要:
An internal combustion engine is disclosed which includes first and second cylinder units each including at least one cylinder, means for cutting off the supply of air and fuel to the second cylinder unit so as to render it inactive when the engine load is below a given value, a three-way catalytic converter for purifying the exhaust from the cylinders, a sensor exposed to the exhaust from the cylinders to provide a signal indicative of the air/fuel ratio at which the engine is operating, and means responsive to the signal from the sensor for controlling the fuel supplied to the engine to maintain the stoichiometric air/fuel ratio. Means is provided for introducing a predetermined amount of air into the second cylinder unit.

An internal combustion engine is disclosed which comprises a plurality of cylinders split into first and second groups, means responsive to engine low load conditions for cutting off flow of fuel and fresh air to the second group of cylinders, an exhaust passage provided at its downstream end with a catalyzer, a partition extending through the exhaust passage to the vicinity of the catalyzer to divide the exhaust passage into two passages, one connecting with the first group of cylinders, the other connecting with the second group of cylinders, an EGR passage bypassing the second group of cylinders for exhaust gas recirculation, and an EGR valve provided in the EGR passage and adapted to open the same in response to engine low load conditions.
摘要:
A spark ignition reciprocatory internal combustion engine with dual induction system and with EGR system is provided in which under engine operating conditions when only a primary throttle valve opens, a fluid charge from a primary induction system will swirl around the cylinder axis, while, under engine operating condition when both the primary and secondary throttle valves open, a fluid charge from a secondary induction system will impede and reduce swirling motion of fluid charge from the primary induction system. With the EGR system, the recirculation of exhaust gas is effected through the primary induction system under the engine operating condition with low and intermediate loads. At high loads, the recirculation of exhaust gas is effected not only through the primary induction system but also through the secondary induction system. For this end the EGR system includes a load responsive valve which will permit admission of exhaust gas into the secondary induction system at a position downstream of the secondary throttle valve in response to loads of the engine.

An internal combustion engine is disclosed which includes first and second cylinder units each having at least one cylinder, and a control unit responsive to engine load for rendering the first and second cylinder units active at high load conditions and rendering the second cylinder unit inactive when the engine load is below a predetermined value. A rapid acceleration detector is provided which is responsive to rapid engine acceleration for causing the control unit to render the first and second cylinder units active regardless of the engine load.
摘要:
An internal combustion engine is disclosed which includes active and inactive cylinders, a load detector adapted to provide a low load indicative signal when the engine load is below a predetermined value, first means responsive to the low load indicative signal for cutting off the flow of air to the inactive cylinders, and second means for supplying a controlled amount of fuel into the active and inactive cylinders so as to achieve a somewhat lean air-fuel mixture therein. The second means is responsive to the low load indicative signal for cutting off the supply of fuel to the inactive cylinders and increasing the amount of fuel supplied to the active cylinders so as to achieve a somewhat rich air-fuel mixture therein. Third means is provided for monitoring the oxygen content of the exhaust from the engine to control the second means so that the fuel supplied to the engine is correct to maintain the stoichiometric air/fuel ratio.
摘要:
An internal combustion engine is disclosed which includes active cylinders being always active and inactive cylinders being inactive when the engine is below a predetermined value. The engine has an exhaust passage divided by a partition into first and second branches leading from the active and inactive cylinders. The second branch is connected through an EGR passage with the inactive cylinders at low load conditions. An exhaust gas sensor is provided in a through-hole formed in the partition at a position downstream of the opening of the EGR passage for monitoring one content of the engine exhaust to provide a signal indicative of the air/fuel ratio. The second branch has a volume, upstream of the opening of the EGR passage, larger than the stroke volume of the inactive cylinders.
摘要:
A spark ignition reciprocatory internal combustion engine with dual induction system is provided which has within a cylinder head a primary induction passage or a primary intake port passage to direct fluid charge into a cylinder to swirl therein and a secondary induction passage or a secondary intake port passage to direct fluid charge into the cylinder in such a direction as to impeded and reduce the swirling motion of the first fluid charge to provide a low "swirl ratio" within the cylinder, thereby to maintain the volumetric efficiency of the engine at a sufficiently high level. A primary throttle valve is provided to control the quantity of fluid charge entering into the primary induction passage and a secondary throttle valve is provided to control the quantity of fluid charge entering into the secondary induction passage. The secondary throttle valve is coordinated with the primary throttle valve so that the secondary throttle valve will remain closed until the primary throttle valve opens wider than a predetermined opening degree. Under engine operating conditions when only the primary throttle valve opens, fluid charge from the primary induction passage will swirl at a high "swirl ratio" in the range of 1.5 to 6, while, under engine operating conditions when both the primary and secondary throttle valves open, fluid charge from the secondary induction passage will impede swirling motion of fluid charge from the primary induction passage to provide a low "swirl ratio" in the range of 0.5 to 1 within the cylinder, and to maintain a high volumetric efficiency of the engine.
摘要:
Disclosed is a split engine control system wherein the intake manifold is segmented by a shut-off valve into a first chamber portion leading to a first group of cylinders and a second chamber portion leading to a second group of cylinders. During periods of relatively low load, the cylinders of the second group are deactivated and the shut-off valve is closed to isolate the second chamber from the first chamber to cut off air supply to the deactivated cylinders. Exhaust gases are recirculated through the deactivated cylinders so that their pumping loss is minimized. A pressure detector is provided to detect a pressure difference which might develop between the first and second chambers during the partial cylinder operation to control the flow rate of the recirculated gases until the pressure difference reduces substantially to zero.
