    Abstract: The invention relates to a spark-ignition engine having direct fuel injection, the fuel injector (2) and the spark plug (3) being arranged centrally on the upper side of the combustion chamber (1). The fuel injector produces an asymmetrical injection volume, so that the electrodes of the spark plug (3) are not directly affected by liquid fuel. The electrodes are, however, situated in a region reached by evaporating fuel.

    Abstract: In a method for the injection of Diesel fuel into a combustion chamber of a Diesel engine by way of a fuel injection valve with a plurality of pilot and main fuel injection ports, the fuel is injected during partial load operation only by way of the pilot injection ports such that a homogeneous mixture is formed and, under full load operation, fuel is additionally injectednullafter a pausenullthrough the main fuel injection ports in such a way that a fuel jet bundle is formed in combination with the fuel jets formed by the pilot ports which is extends over the whole periphery of the combustion chamber. The fuel injection valve has the main fuel ports arranged in a piezo-actuated tappet in series in the direction of the opening movement of the tappet behind the associated pilot ports. With the piezo drive the opening stroke of the tappet can be controlled so as to provide fuel injection pauses between the pilot fuel injection and the main fuel injection.

    Abstract: A direct fuel injection engine has a fuel injection valve that injects fuel toward a cavity formed in a top of a piston, and a spark plug that ignites the fuel-air mixture resulting from the fuel injection. The direct fuel injection engine is configured to strengthen the penetration of the fuel streams, to improve the directionality of the fuel streams and to stably form an agglomerate fuel-air mixture close to the spark plug. The cavity preferably has a bottom surface, a curved surface, and a flat surface. In a plan view taken along the center axis of the engine cylinder, cavity C is shaped like an ellipse whose foci are located at the tip of fuel injection valve and the spark discharge gap of spark plug, respectively. The fuel injection valve has a plurality of injection vents that spray solid-core fuel streams.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating an internal combustion engine operated with a self-ignitable fuel, with an approximately homogeneous fuel-air mixture being produced in the combustion chamber in the self-ignition ranges (CI), a high compression ratio suitable for a self-ignition of the fuel being provided and the combustion occurring in the self-ignition ranges (CI) predominantly by self-ignition. In order to control the start of combustion in the self-ignition range (CI) in the easiest possible way it is provided that in the self-ignition range (CI) the pressure and/or temperature of the homogeneous fuel-air mixture are set in such a way, preferably depending on the charge composition and/or charge temperature, that the self-ignition would be achieved only after the actually desired start of combustion in the zone of the upper dead center and the combustion of the homogeneous fuel-air mixture is initiated locally in the self-ignition range (CI) by an external energy impulse.
