摘要:
A process and a system for preventing pre-ignition in an internal combustion engine (ICE). The process includes providing an ICE that has a combustion chamber and an exhaust. Also provided is a total hydro-carbon (THC) sensor in communication with the combustion chamber. The THC sensor senses a THC level of the combusted gas for a given combustion cycle i (THCi) of the ICE. In the event that THCi is greater than a reference THC level (THCref), a pre-ignition countermeasure prior to an immediate subsequent combustion cycle i+1 is executed. Furthermore, the executed pre-ignition countermeasure prevents pre-ignition from occurring in the immediate subsequent combustion cycle i+1 of the ICE.

Fuel management system for efficient operation of a spark ignition gasoline engine. Injectors inject an anti-knock agent such as ethanol directly into a cylinder of the engine. A fuel management microprocessor system controls injection of the anti-knock agent so as to control knock and minimize that amount of the anti-knock agent that is used in a drive cycle. It is preferred that the anti-knock agent is ethanol. The use of ethanol can be further minimized by injection in a non-uniform manner within a cylinder. The ethanol injection suppresses knock so that higher compression ratio and/or engine downsizing from increased turbocharging or supercharging can be used to increase the efficiency or the engine.

There is provided a saddle-type vehicle that can secure a sufficient space below a fuel tank and efficiently arrange a fuel filter in a vehicle space while a fuel tank and the fuel filter are made closer to each other. The saddle-type vehicle has a seat frame 17 for supporting a seat 12, and a suspension bracket 16 extending upwards from the rear end of a main frame 14. The front portion of the seat frame 17 is secured to the upper portion of the suspension bracket 16, the front end portion of the seat frame 17 extends to the rear end portion of the fuel tank 24, and a space 241 is formed in front of the seat frame 17 and below the fuel tank 24 by the main frame 14, the suspension bracket 16 and the fuel tank 24.

A miller cycle engine system is provided, which includes a motorized supercharger, and a miller cycle engine (having low compression and high explosion) having the motorized supercharger mounted thereon to improve a low-revolution performance of an engine using a scavenging phenomenon due to an operation of a variable valve device (variable valve timing, variable valve lift and variable valve duration) during an operation of the motorized supercharger and to improve a fuel efficiency through down-speeding of a gear ratio of a vehicle.

Fuel management system for enhanced operation of a spark ignition gasoline engine. Injectors inject an anti-knock agent such as ethanol directly into a cylinder. It is preferred that the direct injection occur after the inlet valve is closed. It is also preferred that stoichiometric operation with a three way catalyst be used to minimize emissions. In addition, it is also preferred that the anti-knock agents have a heat of vaporization per unit of combustion energy that is at least three times that of gasoline.

A vehicle internal combustion engine wherein the vertical length of a crankcase is made short in addition to making short the anteroposterior length of the crankcase. A vehicle internal combustion engine is configured such that a crankshaft, a main shaft, a counter shaft and an output shaft are arranged in parallel in a crankcase with the main shaft being disposed to the rear of the crankshaft and the counter shaft is disposed to the rear of the main shaft. The output shaft is disposed below and forward of the counter shaft.
