摘要:
High exhaust gas temperatures whereby sulfur is removed from a lean NOx traps simultaneously with regeneration of a Diesel particulate filter is provided by alternating engine operation in respectively defined lean and rich combustion modes. The duration and frequency of the respective lean and rich operating modes, as well as the air/fuel ratio during the respective modes, are preferably controlled by the sensed temperature of the lean NOx trap substrate.
摘要:
At least two separate fuels, having different volatility characteristics, are used to control the combustion phasing in a compression ignition engine. Desirably, the separate fuels are produced by distillation by which a parent fuel is separated into separate fractions having different reactivity. The provision multiple fuels by distillation and the control method embodying the present invention are particularly useful in controlling the combustion phasing of homogenous charge compression ignition combustion processes.
