Abstract:
An internal combustion engine (11) comprises an engine block (13) having a cylinder (17), a cylinder head (21) fixed to the block and a piston (31), defining a combustion chamber (51). The piston face (37) has a bowl (39) with a cylindrical wall (41) extending about an axis (43) inclined in relation to the cylinder axis (19). A fuel injector nozzle (55) is mounted in the cylinder head (21) at an inclined angle to the cylinder axis (19) and a spark plug (71) is mounted at an inclined angle to the cylinder axis (19) on the opposite side of the cylinder (17) from the fuel injector nozzle (55). Fuel injected into the combustion chamber (51) is reflected by the bowl (39) in the direction of the spark plug (71).
Abstract:
An internal combustion engine assembly including an internal combustion engine including an engine block having at least one cylinder, a piston mounted within the cylinder for reciprocal movement in the cylinder, a fuel injector for injecting fuel into the cylinder, the fuel injector initiating a fuel injection event at a predetermined time and a circuit for generating a spark in the cylinder a predetermined amount of time after the injection event to cause combustion of fuel in the cylinder. 00000
