摘要:
A method of evaluating operability of a gaseous fuel admission valve of an internal combustion engine is disclosed. The method includes operating the internal combustion engine on gaseous fuel by repeatedly actuating the gaseous fuel admission valve. The method further includes measuring a sequence of temporal developments of an electrical operation parameter respectively associated with an actuation of the gaseous fuel admission valve. The sequence includes a first temporal development to be evaluated and a plurality of temporal developments preceding the first temporal development. The method also includes evaluating operability of the gaseous fuel admission valve based on the first temporal development of the measured sequence and at least one of the plurality of preceding temporal developments of the measured sequence.

A method of detecting an incomplete combustion, such as a misfire, in an internal combustion engine operating at least partly on a gaseous fuel, includes: receiving pressure data corresponding to a temporal development of a cylinder pressure during a combustion event within a combustion cycle; deriving from the pressure data a combustion energy value of the combustion; determining that the derived combustion energy value is beyond a predetermined combustion-cycle specific combustion threshold level; and associating the combustion event with an incomplete combustion in the combustion cycle.

A process of controlling operation in a multi-cylinder engine either during start of operation or low-load conditions is disclosed. The process may include skipping a supply of fuel in a first set of cylinders of the multi-cylinder engine for a pre-defined number of multiple working cycles. The process may further include supplying fuel-air mixture to a second set of cylinders of the multi-cylinder engine for the pre-defined number of multiple working cycles. The process may also include executing combustion of the fuel-air mixture supplied to the second set of cylinders for the pre-defined number of multiple working cycles. In addition the process may include either changing a selection of cylinders included in the first set of cylinders and the second set of cylinders respectively, or switching the supply of fuel, after the pre-defined number of multiple working cycles, from the second set of cylinders to the first set of cylinders.

A method for balancing a plurality of cylinders during operation of an internal combustion engine having a plurality of gas admission valves includes operating the internal combustion engine with a first common ignition timing for each of a plurality of cylinders. While operating with the first common ignition timing, a cylinder having an above-average knock level is determined, and an opening duration of the gas admission valve associated with this cylinder is reduced. This is repeated until the knock levels for all cylinders differ from each other by less than a predetermined amount. When the knock levels for all cylinders differ by less than the predetermined amount, the first common ignition timing is advanced to a second ignition timing.

A method for controlling an internal combustion engine operating on at least partly gaseous fuel is disclosed. The method may include providing a desired burn rate profile corresponding to a desired operation of the internal combustion engine. The method may further include selecting first operating parameters such that an operation of the internal combustion engine with a first gas composition produces a first burn rate profile that corresponds to the desired burn rate profile. The method may also include operating the internal combustion engine with the first operating parameters using a second gas composition. The method may include determining that the second burn rate profile differs from the desired burn rate profile. In addition, the method may include adjusting an operating parameter from among the first operating parameters of the internal combustion engine to approach the desired burn rate profile.

A method for controlling an engine is disclosed. The method may include receiving a pressure data set of a combustion event. The pressure data set may correspond to a temporal development of a cylinder pressure during the combustion event in a cylinder. The method may also include determining using a controller that the received pressure data set indicates an actual ignition timing within a preset ignition timing window. Further, the method may include deriving an actual combustion duration (D1) of the combustion event from the received pressure data set. The method may also include determining whether the actual combustion duration (D1) is shorter than a preset combustion duration for the cylinder. In addition, the method may include providing a control signal to control an operation of the internal combustion engine when the actual combustion duration is shorter than the preset combustion duration.

A method of evaluating operability of a gaseous fuel admission valve of an internal combustion engine is disclosed. The internal combustion engine includes a plurality of cylinders and at least one gaseous fuel admission valve for each cylinder of the plurality of cylinders. The method includes operating the dual fuel internal combustion engine on liquid fuel. The method further includes supplying gaseous fuel to the gaseous fuel admission valves at a pressure above an intake manifold air pressure thereby setting a differential gas pressure across the gaseous fuel admission valves. The method also includes operating the gaseous fuel admission valves to add gaseous fuel to intake air while operating the dual fuel internal combustion engine primarily on liquid fuel. Further, the method includes measuring combustion process parameters for the cylinders. The method also includes evaluating operability of the gaseous fuel admission valves based on the measured combustion process parameters.

A method for operating a spark ignited gaseous fuel internal combustion engine is disclosed. The engine may have at least one main combustion chamber and at least one ignition device configured to initiate an ignition event within an ignition region. The method may include supplying pressurized fuel to the ignition region at times between about 30° to about 0° crank angle before the ignition event is initiated by the ignition device for enriching the ignition region with fuel. The method may also include initiating an ignition event in the ignition region for combusting an enriched air/fuel mixture within the ignition region.

A method for operating an engine is disclosed. The method may include supplying air from a primary air supply unit to an intake conduit. The method may also include supplying air to the engine from the intake conduit. The method may further include selectively supplying air from a secondary air supply unit to the intake conduit. In addition, the method may include maintaining an air fuel ratio between a first threshold value and a second threshold value during an increase in engine load increase by controlling a supply of air from the secondary supply unit to the intake conduit.

A piston top structural unit for an internal combustion engine may include a piston crown structure providing a top surface and a peripheral surface, wherein, regarding a center axis of the piston, the top surface is configured to delimit the piston top structural unit axially with respect to a combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine and the peripheral surface is configured to delimit the piston top structural unit radially. The top surface may include a rim surface extending around the center axis, and an inner surface delimiting a piston bowl radially within the peripheral surface. The inner surface may include an area of lowest positions of the piston bowl, a first side wall surface extending essentially along the direction of the center axis from a first border section of the area of the lowest positions to the rim surface, a deflecting bottom surface raising from a second border section of the area of the lowest positions to form an asymmetric piston bowl bottom, and at least one second side wall surface extending essentially along the direction of the center axis from a respective border section of the deflecting bottom surface to the rim surface. The asymmetric shape may allow the generation of a tumble flow of charged air for improving ignition.
