    摘要: An apparatus for providing a gas phase film lubrication between a reciprocal piston and a cylinder of an uncooled oilless internal combustion engine; the piston is effective to drive a rotary crankshaft in response to an expanding gas charge. The apparatus comprises: (a) means connecting the crankshaft to said piston for transferring reciprocal thrust into rotary thrust, such means aligning the piston concentrically within the cylinder wall to limit the imposition of side loads on said piston (i.e., less than 80 psi); (b) interfacing walls on the piston and cylinder (i) sized to provide a predetermined annular gap therebetween at ambient conditions that has a radial dimension in the range of 0.001.+-.0.0005 inches, (ii) consisting of matched materials that prevent closure of the gap due to thermal expansion under the maximum temperature differential to be experienced between the piston and cylinder wall, and (iii) are preshaped to anticipate any thermal growth of the interfacing walls for maintaining the annular gap substantially constant at elevated temperatures.

    摘要: An apparatus is disclosed for regenerating a filter trap used to collect particulates from the exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine. The apparatus comprises: (a) an assembly providing a flow of a heat transfer medium through the filter trap: (b) an assembly for heating the heat transfer medium to a temperature effective to incinerate the particulates in the filter trap: and (c) a flow mask stationed in the flow of heat transfer medium, upstream from said filter trap, effective to divert the heat transfer medium away from the radially inner zone of the filter trap while guiding the heat transfer medium to engage and ignite the particulates along a radially outer region of the filter trap. The mask is a circular disc and spaced upstream from the filter trap effective to mask a central core area of the flow of heat transfer medium.The assembly for heating comprises one or more electrically heated resistance elements arranged in a planar coil configuration extending transversely across the flow of heat transfer medium. A flow diffuser is stationed upstream from the mask and is comprised of a plurality of foraminous plates effective to diffuse and slow down the flow of heat transfer medium for increasing heat exchange. The flow diffuser has a radiation reflective coating to limit heat losses and a member is employed for depressing the temperature required to ignite the particulates.

    摘要: An exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system and construction is provided in which an EGR flow valve and an air flow valve are mounted on a common shaft or, alternatively, interconnected by stepper motors or electric motors to ensure equal response times for the flow of EGR gases and air flow into the engine combustion chamber. In one embodiment, a secondary EGR valve is provided in the EGR passage to bleed the exhaust back pressures to approximately atmospheric level to equal that of the air being inducted past a main air throttle valve. Finally, an EGR control system is provided for calculating the EGR flow rate as to be able to set the spark timing of the engine according to previously determined mapping data that provides values required for best fuel economy at any EGR rate.
