摘要:
A novel and improved engine and method are provided which includes a premixed charge compression ignition engine capable of operating over a wide load range without the need to vary the IMT beyond easily achievable or desirable temperature levels. The engine and method adjust the start of combustion by adjusting the engine speed and torque while delivering a targeted engine horsepower output.

The performance of a gas-fueled unthrottled internal combustion engine is improved by optimizing excess air ratio (lambda) in the engine. Lambda is optimized by selecting automatically and continuously the optimum fraction of cylinders firing (OFF) as a function of engine operating parameters, eliminating the fuel charge from one or more cylinders to obtain firing in the OFF, and distributing the unused fuel to the OFF, thereby decreasing lambda in the firing cylinders to an optimum level. OFF may be calculated according to mathematically derived and empirically weighted equations, or obtained with reference to suitable look-up tables. In addition, optimum lambda and OFF may be adjusted to take into account the effects of exhaust gas recirculation (egr), engine speed, and/or engine timing. Further lambda adjustment can be performed by suitable control of egr, ignition timing, and/or turbo air bypass (TAB).
摘要:
A system for controlling an air/fuel ratio of an internal combustion engine supplied with a blended fuel of gasoline and alcohol and equipped with a blowby gas ventilator. An oxygen sensor is provided and an amount of fuel supply is corrected in response to the detected air/fuel ratio within a range having a lower limit set in the lean direction and an upper limit set in the rich direction. At engine starting, injected alcohol may not vaporize but leak into the crankcase and will then vaporize to pass into the air intake passage along with the blowby gas when the engine temperature rises, causing the air/fuel ratio to be become rich beyond the correction lower limit. For that reason, in this system, engine coolant temperature and alcohol content in the fuel are detected. And if the temperature is within a range defined from the alcohol boiling point when the alcohol content is above a reference value, the lower limit of the range is shifted in the leaner direction. The air/fuel ratio can therefore be corrected in the lean direction.

An important for a diesel engine by injecting LP gas into the diesel engine. A solenoid valve and a pressure controller are provided in a line between an LP gas cylinder and a gas injector mounted on the air inlet of the diesel engine. The solenoid valve is activated only when the engine temperature has risen above a predetermined level and only after the vehicle speed has exceeded a predermined level. This arrangement increases the output of the diesel engine, saves the fuel cost and eliminates black smoke.

Systems and methods for improving engine torque response are presented. In one example, engine idle speed is increased to shorten engine torque response based on engine operating conditions. The methods and systems may be useful for operating an engine that is supplied a gaseous fuel.

A technique for fuel system protection for an internal combustion engine includes introducing a directly injected fuel into a combustion chamber through a direct fuel injector, introducing a fumigated fuel upstream of an intake valve, selectively operating the internal combustion engine with at least one of the directly injected fuel and the fumigated fuel, determining a temperature of the direct fuel injector as a first function of engine operating parameters, and performing a temperature mitigation technique when the temperature rises above a first predetermined value such that the temperature is maintained below a second predetermined value.
摘要:
A control system for an engine capable of operating on more than one type of fuel includes an engine control unit that determines a default fuel volume to be injected into the engine based on relevant engine parameters and characteristics of a default fuel type. A default mass fuel flow rate is derived from the default fuel volume and relevant engine parameters. The actual mass fuel flow rate into the engine is inferred from the mass air flow rate into the engine and the exhaust gas air-to-fuel ratio, which is determined using a wide range oxygen sensor. A fuel correction factor is calculated from the default mass fuel flow rate and the inferred mass fuel flow rate. The fuel correction factor is used to increment or decrement the default fuel volume in a subsequent fuel injection cycle thereby incrementing or decrementing the inferred mass fuel flow rate toward the default mass fuel flow rate.

The present invention discloses a method of introducing fuel into a diesel engine for combustion within the engine. A combustible gas in liquid form is injected into the engine for combustion therein with diesel fuel so as to maintain a combustible gas concentration derived from the liquid in the range of 0.2%-0.6% of air intake by volume of combustible gas. Suitable gases include LPG or liquid petroleum gas, natural gas, hydrogen, ethane, methane, propane, butane, hexane, heptane, pentane, acetylene, carbon monoxide, ammonia or other combustible gas, or a combination of two or more thereof.
