摘要:
A control system for fuel delivery systems associated with cylinders of a multi-cylinder engine is provided. The control system includes a detector, a processor, and an actuator. The detector is configured to sense a signal to change from a compression ignited fuel to a spark ignited fuel in a pre-determined number of cylinders. The processor is configured to receive the signal from the detector and generate one or more actuation signals. The controller is configured to receive the actuation signals and tandemly control the fuel delivery systems associated with the pre-determined cylinders based on the actuation signals.

An ignition system for use with an engine is disclosed. The ignition system may have an igniter connected to selectively ignite a fuel mixture within the engine, an injector located to inject a non-combustible gas into the engine, and a controller in communication with the igniter and the injector. The controller may be configured to energize the igniter during a first mode of engine operation to ignite the fuel mixture, and cease energizing the igniter during a second mode of engine operation. The controller may also be configured to actuate the injector during the second mode of engine operation to promote auto-ignition of the fuel mixture.
摘要:
A reciprocating internal combustion engine used a crankshaft to develop rotating motion. A rotary pulse detonation engine can be adapted to rotate a shaft. A combustor portion of the rotary pulse detonation engine is spaced from an axis of the shaft a preestablished distance therebetween in a mass member. An intake portion and an exhaust portion of the combustor portion is positioned in a parameter of the mass member. A combustion portion of the combustor portion is interposed the intake portion and the exhaust portion. The combustion portion has a frustoconical first position which converges to form a deflagration wave and progresses into a detonation. The deflagration to detonation transition occurs in the transition region. A combustible fuel and air mixture is combusted in the combustor portion creating a high speed jet exiting the exhaust portion and rotating the shaft.

An internal combustion engine includes at least one cylinder having a reciprocable piston, an intake system directing intake air to the at least one cylinder, and an exhaust system directing exhaust gasses from the at least one cylinder. A first fuel injector disposed to inject a first fuel into the cylinder, and a second fuel injector disposed to inject a second fuel into said cylinder. At least one intake valve of said cylinder is configured to open and close with a variable timing in accordance with a Miller thermodynamic cycle. An exhaust gas recirculation system, provides exhaust gas to said cylinder through the intake valve. An electronic controller is disposed to monitor and receive at least one input signal indicative of the operating conditions of the internal combustion engine, and adjusts at least the amount of exhaust gas recirculation.
摘要:
An internal combustion engine includes a cylinder that is connectable to an intake manifold through an intake valve, to an exhaust manifold through an exhaust valve, and to a transfer manifold through transfer and combustion valves. A fuel injector associated with the cylinder is adapted to provide fuel to the cylinder. During operation, the cylinder performs an intake stroke, followed by a compression stroke. A compressed charge from the cylinder passes to and is collected in the transfer manifold through the transfer valve. The cylinder is filled by a compressed charge from the transfer manifold through the combustion valve at the same time as the fuel injector provides fuel. The cylinder then undergoes combustion and exhaust strokes. In this way, cylinder operation alternates between combustor and compressor split combustion modes.

A control system (12) for an engine (10) having a combustion chamber (22) is disclosed. The control system may have a fuel injector (40) configured to selectively inject fuel into the combustion chamber, and a controller (54) in communication with the fuel injector. The controller may be configured to activate the fuel injector during a first compression stroke to initiate fuel injection in an amount and at a timing that results in a stratified lean air/fuel mixture within the combustion chamber during a first combustion event of a six- stroke cycle. The controller may also be configured to activate the fuel injector during a first power stroke to initiate fuel injection in an amount and at a timing that results in a homogenous lean air/fuel mixture within the combustion chamber during a second combustion event of the same six-stroke cycle.

A fluid handling system for a use with an engine is provided. The fluid-handling system may have a first turbine connected to receive a portion of an exhaust flow from the engine, a first compressor driven by the first turbine to pressurize an airflow, and a heat exchanger configured to receive a remaining portion of the exhaust flow from the engine and the airflow from the first compressor. The fluid-handling system may also have a second turbine connected to receive the airflow from the heat exchanger, and a generator driven by the second turbine to generate power.
摘要:
A control system for an engine having a first cylinder and a second cylinder is disclosed having a first engine valve movable to regulate a fluid flow of the first cylinder and a first actuator associated with the first engine valve. The control system also has a second engine valve movable to regulate a fluid flow of the second cylinder and a sensor configured to generate a signal indicative of a pressure within the first cylinder. The control system also has a controller that is in communication with the first actuator and the sensor. The controller is configured to compare the pressure within the first cylinder with a desired pressure and selectively regulate the first actuator to adjust a timing of the first engine valve independently of the timing of the second engine valve based on the comparison.
