    摘要: A turbocharger apparatus of an internal combustion engine and method of controlling the same is provided with electrically coupled fully variable turbo-compound capability. The turbocharger includes an exhaust gas turbine and an intake air compressor. A first electric machine coupled to the engine generates electricity and adds power to an output shaft of the engine depending on electricity flow to and from the first electric machine. A second electric machine coupled to the turbine and/or the compressor generates electricity and drives the turbine and/or the compressor depending on electricity flow between the first and the second electric machines. A planetary gearset connects the turbine, the compressor, and the second electric machine, and varies rotational speeds of the turbine, the compressor, and the second electric machine depending on electricity flow between the first and second electric machines to maximize efficiency and power of the engine.

    摘要: A system according to the present disclosure controls first and second fuel injectors to inject fuel into a cylinder of an engine based on a measured crankshaft position. The system controls the first and second fuel injectors based on a first target injection parameter once every N firing cycles of the cylinder, where N is equal to the number of fuel injectors that are operable to inject fuel into the cylinder. The first target injection parameter includes at least one of a first pulse width and a first start-of-injection (SOI) timing. The system controls the first and second fuel injectors based on a second target injection parameter once every N firing cycles of the cylinder. The second target injection parameter includes at least one of a second pulse width and a second SOI timing that are different than the first pulse width and the first SOI timing, respectively.

The nozzle has first and second ends and extends along a first longitudinal axis from the first end to the second end. The nozzle includes a nozzle body defining a first longitudinal passage that extends along the first longitudinal axis and through the second end of the nozzle. The needle is disposed within the first longitudinal passage and is movable between a first position in which the needle prevents fuel from flowing through the second end of the nozzle and a second position in which the needle allows fuel to flow through the second end. The pressure control section extends along a second longitudinal axis that is angularly offset relative to the first longitudinal axis of the nozzle. The pressure control section includes an electromechanical actuator that actuates the needle between the first and second positions.

    摘要: A design for a piston engine, cylinder block, and piston is provided. The cylinder block includes a cylinder wall defining at least one cylinder bore for receiving the piston disposed therein. A combustion chamber disposed within the cylinder bore is defined by the piston and the cylinder wall. The combustion chamber has a non-circular cross-section and the cylinder wall includes a first pair of opposing faces and a second pair of opposing faces that converge at rounded intersections. A pair of opposing fuel injectors extend through the cylinder block to the cylinder bore. The pair of opposing fuel injectors are positioned along the second pair of opposing faces of the cylinder wall such that the pair of opposing fuel injectors spray converging fuel plumes into the combustion chamber to reduce air/fuel stratification across the non-circular cross-section of the combustion chamber.
