Abstract: A fuel system includes a fuel injector having a fuel passage and a purging fluid passage formed therein. A nozzle tip inner surface defines a sac forming a blind end of the fuel passage in the fuel injector. A coaxial concentric check assembly includes a purging check movable to admit a purging fluid such as pressurized air into the fuel passage to purge the sac of fuel. Reduced injector dribble is observed from the purging of fuel.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for controlling a movable element in accordance with a speed command. The movable element, which may be an excavator swing platform, is moved via an actuator that is driven in accordance with a torque command. The speed of the movable element is sensed, and a torque command is generated via PID control based on the speed command and the sensed speed. The PID control uses a set of gains including a P-gain, an I-gain, and a D-gain. At least one of these gains is set based on a counter, and the counter is set, cleared, incremented, or decremented based on one or more of the speed command, the torque command and the sensed speed. In this way, the movable element responds aggressively to operator input, but stability is maintained.

Abstract: Operating an engine system includes calculating a crank angle timing term corresponding to an in-cylinder temperature sufficient for autoignition of a first fuel injected at a first injection location. Operating an engine system further includes calculating, based on the crank angle timing term, at least one of an injection amount or an injection duration, to increase the in-cylinder temperature sufficiently via burning of the first fuel to ignite a second fuel injected into a mixture of the first fuel and pressurized intake air. The first fuel may include a blend of dimethyl ether (DME), methanol (MeOH), and water. Based on expected progression of in-cylinder temperatures, and fuel injection amount and/or duration based thereon, desirable controllability of combustion phasing and/or other combustion properties may be realized.

Abstract: Operating a hybrid power system for a machine includes combusting a direct injected gaseous hydrogen fuel in an engine operating an electrical generator, and increasing a load demand of the hybrid power system. Operating the hybrid power system further includes operating an electrical-assist compressor to supply an increased airflow into the engine based on an increased engine power demand to satisfy the increased load demand. Air-fuel equivalence ratio of the engine (so-called “lambda”) is maintained at a ratio of about 2 or greater to limit NOx emissions, and between a hydrogen fuel misfire limit and a hydrogen fuel preignition limit. Related apparatus and control logic is also disclosed.

Abstract: An engine includes a piston movable in a cylinder and having a combustion bowl, and an annular rim forming a scoop extending axisymmetrically around a piston center axis. A fuel injector tip extends into the cylinder and includes a first orifice set and a second orifice set offset from one another and offset from the piston center axis. A plurality of orifice-rim distances are defined between orifices in the second orifice set and an annular rim of the piston. The orifices in the second orifice set having a range of orifice sizes varied in direct relation to the respective orifice-rim distances. Related methodology is also disclosed.

Abstract: A piston for an internal combustion engine includes a crown portion having a bowl that includes a plurality of protrusions. Each of the plurality of protrusions includes a first side surface and a second side surface. Other features including at least one ledge formed between protrusions in segments, and a generally flat, inward facing surface on the protrusions may also be used.

Abstract: A fuel injector includes a nozzle having at least one first orifice. The at least one first orifice selectively injects a first fuel. An outer check is located movably within the nozzle. The outer check includes at least one second orifice. The at least one second orifice selectively injects a second fuel. An inner check is located movably and concentrically within the outer check. The at least one first orifice is adapted to selectively inject at least one of the first fuel and the second fuel therethrough based on a position of each of the outer check and the inner check.

Abstract: A fuel injector includes a nozzle having at least one first orifice provided therein. The at least one first orifice is adapted to selectively inject one of a fuel and an oxidant. An outer check is disposed movably within the nozzle. The outer check includes at least one second orifice provided therein. The at least one second orifice is adapted to selectively inject an other of the oxidant and the fuel. An inner check is disposed movably and concentrically within the outer chock. The at least one second orifice is adapted to align with respect to the at least one first orifice to selectively inject the fuel and the oxidant together through the at least one first orifice based on a position of each of the outer check and the inner check.
