    摘要: In a specified operating area including a low engine-speed and low engine-load area, an excess air ratio λ is set at a specified ratio which is two or greater and three or smaller and an ignition timing θig of a spark plug is set at a timing of MBT to provide the maximum torque as a normal combustion control (S4). In case a catalyst temperature Tc is lower than a predetermined first temperature T1 in this area, a control of retarding the ignition timing from the MBT timing and/or a control of decreasing the excess air ratio λ to a ration below the above-described ratio are executed (S6, S8, S9). Accordingly, the temperature of the catalyst can be prevented simply and effectively from decreasing excessively, maintaining combustion conditions to provide a properly high thermal efficiency.

    摘要: An engine is designed to allow a compression self-ignition combustion under an air-fuel ratio leaner than a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio to be performed at least in a partial-load range of the engine. Under a condition that an engine speed varies at a same load in an engine operating region of the compression self-ignition combustion, a compression end temperature Tx, which is an in-cylinder temperature just before an air-fuel mixture self-ignites, is controlled to be raised higher in a higher engine speed side than in a lower engine speed side. As one example of control for the compression end temperature Tx, an internal EGR amount is controlled to be increased larger in the higher engine speed side than in the lower engine speed side, to raise a compression initial temperature T0 which is an in-cylinder temperature at a start timing of a compression stroke. This makes it possible to perform the compression self-ignition combustion under a lean air-fuel ratio in a wider engine speed range to effectively enhance engine thermal efficiency.

    摘要: A supercharged engine has a geometric compression ratio ser to 16 or more and is designed to perform a compression self-ignition combustion under an air-fuel ratio leaner than a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio at least in a low engine speed range. On a lower engine load side than a given engine load within an engine operating region at which the compression self-ignition combustion is performed, a fresh air amount is reduced and an effective compression ratio (ε′) is increased, as compared with a higher engine load side than the given engine load within the engine operating region, and, on the higher engine load side than the given engine load, a supercharging pressure based on a supercharger (25) is increased to increase the fresh air amount, and the effective compression ratio (ε′) is reduced, as compared with the lower engine load side than the given engine load. This makes it possible to perform the compression self-ignition combustion under a lean air-fuel ratio in a wider engine load range to effectively enhance engine thermal efficiency, while eliminating a need for an operation of forcedly raising/lowering a temperature of fresh air.
