    摘要: A method to control combustion in an HCCI engine, to mitigate effects of combustion chamber deposits is detailed. The method comprises applying a specific surface coating to a combustion chamber surface. The surface coating has thermal properties substantially similar to the combustion chamber deposits. The thermal properties preferably include a) thermal conductivity, b) heat capacity, and c) thermal diffusivity. Applying a surface coating results in a reduction of combustion variability due to variation in combustion chamber deposits, and an improvement on combustion stability at low loads due to reduced heat loss. A preferred thermally insulating surface coating includes thermal parameters of a heat capacity in a range of 0.03×106 J/m3-K to 2.0×106 J/m3-K; a thermal conductivity in a range of 0.25 W/m-K to 2.5 W/m-K; and, a thermal diffusivity in a range of 1×10−7 m2/s to 8×10−6 m2/s.

    摘要: A method is provided for control of transition between combustion modes of a direct-injection engine operable in a homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) mode at lower loads and a spark ignition flame propagation (SI) mode at higher loads. The engine includes a variable valve actuation system including two-step high and low lift valve actuation and separate cam phasing for both intake and exhaust valves. The method includes operating the engine at steady state, with fuel-air-exhaust gas mixtures at predetermined conditions, for each speed and load, and controlling the engine during mode changes between the HCCI mode and the SI mode by switching the exhaust and intake valves between low lift for HCCI operation and high lift for SI operation. High load may be an SI throttled mode with an intermediate unthrottled mode (SI/NTLC} in which transition between HCCI and SI/NTLC modes requires switching only the exhaust valve lift and transition between SI/NTLC and SI throttled modes requires switching only the intake valve lift, with predetermined phase adjustments in the valve timing phasing.

    摘要: The invention provides a method for operating a multi-cylinder, spark-ignition, direct-injection, four-stroke internal-combustion engine adapted to operate in a controlled auto-ignition mode selectively operative at stoichiometry and lean of stoichiometry. The method comprises adapting an engine valve actuation system to control engine valve opening and closing, and monitoring engine operating conditions and ambient barometric pressure. The engine is operated unthrottled and the engine valve actuation system is controlled to effect a negative valve overlap period when the engine operating conditions are within predetermined ranges. A mass of fuel is injected during the negative valve overlap period. The magnitude of the negative valve overlap period is decreased with decreasing ambient pressure and increased with increasing ambient pressure.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for controlling engine operation to compensate for effects of combustion chamber deposits (CCDs) on combustion in a controlled auto-ignition engine is presented. Control methodologies comprise operation of variable valve actuation, fuel injection, spark timing, and intake air and coolant temperature to dynamically compensate for the effect of CCDs. A sensitivity to core gas temperature and chamber wall thermal conditions is shown, which is correlatable to in-cylinder CCD formation. Intake charge or coolant temperature control can be used to compensate for CCD effects. An engine control scheme relies upon a parametric input that quantifies instantaneous CCD formation in the combustion chamber. The result is further applicable to control pre-ignition in a conventional spark-ignition engine.
