摘要:
An engine having an even number of cylinders is caused to produce two differently composed exhaust gases, one rich in air and the other in unburned fuel and CO, from the two groups of cylinders each consisting of half the number of cylinders being fired in succession, which exhaust gases are fed separately to a thermal reactor and allowed to gradually mix with each other for mild and slow reaction therein.
摘要:
Under normal running condition of an internal combustion engine with a thermal reactor, the engine is fed with a relatively rich air-fuel mixture for regulating the concentration of unburned combustible compounds, such as hydrocarbons (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) in the exhaust gases emitted therefrom, in a manner that the thermal reactor effectively functions, and under high speed heavy load condition of the engine wherein the exhaust gas temperature becomes remarkably high, the engine is alternately fed with a relatively rich mixture and a relatively lean mixture in accordance with the operating cycles of the engine for not only achieving the improved fuel economy but also protecting the thermal reactor from heat damage.

A pulse generator of the corona discharge type for sensing engine crankshaft angle in an engine control system having a rotor with a plurality of pulse generating elements angularly spaced about the rotor axis. In order to generate as many pulses for each revolution of the rotor as desired to permit accurate measurement of the angular displacement of the rotor axis from a reference point, the rotor is constructed of a disc having a plurality of angularly equally spaced apart segmented regions to act as the pulse generating elements, and at least one electrode is stationarily mounted with respect to the disc to form an air gap to generate corona discharges thereacross in succession in cooperation with each one of the segmented regions upon rotation of the disc. An impedance element is provided to develop a voltage signal in response to the generation of the corona discharge.

A fuel supply control system comprising an electrostatic apparatus which produces an electric field in a section of a fuel discharge passage to cause a variation in the fuel flow rate in this section, a flow rate detector to provide a feedback signal representing an actual fuel flow rate and an electronic controller which controls the strength and/or polarity of the electric field so as to cancel any deviation of the detected actual fuel flow rate from an optimum flow rate determined by sensing some variables related to the operating condition of the engine.
摘要:
A temperature sensor is disposed at the upstream or middle portion of a reactor for oxidizing the unburned constituents contained in the exhaust gases discharged from the combustion chambers of the engine. The air-fuel ratio of the air-fuel mixture supplied to the combustion chambers is controlled so as to maintain the temperature of the upstream or middle portion of the reactor at the predetermined level in the vicinity of but higher than the temperature corresponding to the critical point where the temperature of the downstream portion of the reactor begins to decrease.

An exhaust gas recirculation system for an internal combustion engine includes an exhaust gas recirculation passage for communicating an exhaust port with an intake passage through a recirculation flow control valve. The recirculation system according to the invention comprises a timing valve in the recirculation passage adapted to open at specified moments for extracting exhaust gases containing highly concentrated hydrocarbons. According to the invention, moreover, the exhaust port is concentrically divided into a plurality of ports to extract exhaust gases having high concentrations of hydrocarbons from the outermost divided port adjacent to the inner peripheral walls of the exhaust port to recirculate them into intake mixtures, thereby reducing the concentrations of hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides in exhaust gases and thus fuel consumption.

A piston slidably received in a tubular housing is movable in response to the instantaneous flow of intake air to vary the number of small diameter tubes through which fuel can be jetted under the influence of a variable electrostatic force induced by the application of a variable high voltage across an electrode immersed in the fuel upstream of the nozzles and an electrode arranged about and spaced from the tubular housing.
摘要:
A fuel injection apparatus for an internal combustion engine has at least one fuel injection valve. An annular or ring-shaped electrode is mounted near the fuel injection valve to encircle the injected fuel. A high voltage generator produces an electric field between the electrode and the fuel injection valve as well as a surrounding wall which are both connected to the ground. Electrified fuel particles are finely atomized and prevented from attaching onto the surrounding wall to improve the operation, starting characteristic, and transient response of the engine.
摘要:
Apparatus for controlling the rotational speed of an I.C. engine in an idling operation comprises a constant pressure valve, a solenoid valve, and a control signal generator. A constant vacuum pressure produced by the constant pressure valve is modified by atmospheric pressure by means of the solenoid valve which is actuated by a pulsating signal produced in the control signal generator. The pulse width of the pulsating signal is variable in accordance with a detected engine speed. The modified vacuum pressure is coupled to a chamber of a main valve of a conventional boost controlled deceleration device to control the amount of air-fuel mixture supplied to the intake manifold of the engine.
摘要:
To effect EGR in an internal combustion engine with the maintenance of adequate balance between the suppression of NO.sub.x formation and preservation of stable engine operation, the condition of combustion in the engine is taken as the basis of feedback control of the volume of recirculated exhaust gas so as to correct a deviation of the total amount of the recirculated exhaust gas and unexhausted combustion gas in the combustion chamber from a desired amount. The intensity of an ionic current produced upon combustion in each combustion chamber, the magnitude of mechanical vibration of the engine or the frequency of misfire in a combustion chamber is detected as an exact indication of the condition of combustion.
