Abstract:
An accumulator type fuel injection nozzle having a relief valve for the control chamber that is controlled by an electromagnet constructed in such a way so as to reduce flux losses to the outer housing of the injection nozzle. In addition, the inlet and return ports of the nozzle are formed in the outer end of the nozzle and extend axially so that the mounting position of the nozzle will not be critical to the fuel connections to the pump and return lines.

Abstract:
An accumulator type fuel injection nozzle including a resistor in the actuating electromagnet of the relief valve for controlling the operation of the valve. In the illustrated embodiment, there are provided two electromagnets, one of which opens the relief valve and the other of which closes the relief valve. In addition, a thermistor is provided in the circuit to the electromagnet so as to render the device substantially temperature insensitive.
Abstract:
A high pressure fuel injection device including an accumulator type fuel injection nozzle for an internal combustion engine. High pressure fluid is delivered to the accumulator chamber by a reciprocating pump and the amount of fuel discharged is controlled by controlling the discharge pressure of the high pressure pump. This is done by varying the timing phasing of the pump.
Abstract:
An engine induction system having a check valve upstream of the intake port for precluding reverse flow. A plenum device is communicated with the induction system downstream of the check valve for reducing inertial effects and improving charging efficiency. The plenum device may be the crankcase chamber of the engine. In that case crankcase ventilation may also be controlled and improved. Crankcase supercharging may also be generated. These features may be combined with variable valve timing to further improve engine performance.
Abstract:
In an electric vehicle driven by a drive motor with electric power generated by an engine-driven generator and with electric power from a battery, the electric vehicle includes a residual battery power detecting module for detecting a residual power capacity of the battery, and a motor control module. When the residual power capacity decreases below an established (e.g., preset) lower limit, the motor control module lowers a voltage of an accelerator output signal, which is output in response to a rotational angle of an accelerator, to a value less than a voltage given under a condition where the residual power capacity is greater than or equal to an established (e.g., preset) lower limit. In this manner, the larger rotational movement of the accelerator required to control a rotational speed of the drive motor provides a rider with a sensory indication of the operating state of the vehicle (e.g., the residual power capacity of the battery).
Abstract:
In constructing a suction device for a crank chamber supercharged engine 1 wherein intake air pressurized by a supercharge mechanism is supplied to a combustion chamber, it is arranged that the supercharge mechanism and the combustion chamber are communicatively interconnected by suction passage 38, 46, with an intake valve 7 disposed open/close operably at a downstream end of the suction passage 46, the intake valve 7 being adapted to close between 70 and 100 degrees after a bottom dead center.
Abstract:
A control system and method for a multi-combustion chamber internal combustion engine. Balance running between the combustion chambers is achieved by varying the engine operating parameters or the parameters of a load driven by the engine. In addition, knocking can be detected and corrected by also sensing the rate of acceleration of the engine output shaft at certain crank angles.
Abstract:
A combustion chamber and method of operating a diesel engine to insure maximum air utilization. The engine has a main chamber and a subchamber that communicates with the main chamber through a communication passageway. Fuel injection into the subchamber is begun at a time when the throat area of the engine by which the main chamber communicates with the communication passageway is equivalent to approximately the effective flow area of the communication passageway so as to insure maximum air utilization.
Abstract:
A measurement device measures engine oil consumption of an engine lubricated by engine oil. The measurement device includes a sensing pipe housing in which a sulfur dioxide sensing pipe arranged to sense the sulfur dioxide is disposed, an exhaust gas introduction passage connecting the engine and a first end of the sulfur dioxide sensing pipe, and arranged to introduce the exhaust gas from the engine to the sulfur dioxide sensing pipe, and a flow amount measurement device arranged to measure the flow amount of the exhaust gas flowing in the sulfur dioxide sensing pipe. The engine oil measurement device is small in size and able to measure engine oil consumption easily.
