Abstract:
The invention relates to a pre-chamber arrangement for a cylinder (1) of an internal combustion engine fitted for premixed combustion (Otto cycle), the pre- chamber arrangement including a first chamber (7) for mixing and igniting of the fuel and a second chamber (8) of substantially smaller volume for communication between the first chamber (7) and the main combustion chamber (4) of the cylinder (1), the first chamber (7) being provided with pilot injection means (9) and having a chamber top substantially opposite to the second chamber (8). The first chamber (7) has substantially oval shape with curved walls between the chamber top and the second chamber (8). The second chamber (8) is asymmetrically positioned with regard to the first chamber (7) so as to provide a tumble flow motion (A) in the first chamber (7) for the gaseous fuel pressed from the main combustion chamber (4) and guided by curved wall of the first chamber (7) towards and past the fuel of pilot injection means (9) to be ignited.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a prechamber arrangement to be fitted into the cylinder head (2) of a combustion engine (1), comprising a separate body part(4) and a nozzle part (5), which together mainly define a prechamber (3), which is connected to a main combustion space (7) of a cylinder (6) through nozzle openings (5a) of the nozzle part (5). According to the invention, the body part(4) is supported on the cylinder head (2) and provided with joint surfaces (4b) for supporting the nozzle part (5) on the body part(4).
Abstract:
The invention relates a two-stroke internal combustion engine (10) comprising at least one cylinder (20) with a piston (24) arranged reciprocateably between its top dead center and bottom dead center, and a cylinder cover (26) defining a combustion chamber (22), oxygen containing gas inlet (18) in the lower part of the cylinder (20) to be open into the combustion chamber (22) at least while the piston is at its bottom dead center position, a gaseous fuel inlet (30) arranged in the cylinder between the oxygen containing gas inlet (18) and the cylinder cover(26), and an exhaust valve (28) arranged to the cylinder cover at a center axis of the cylinder. The cylinder cover(26) is provided with pilot ignition pre-chambers (36) opening into the combustion chamber (22) through pre-chamber ports (34). Invention relates also to method of operating a two-stroke engine (10).
Abstract:
A pre-chamber arrangement to be fitted onto the cylinder head (2) of a combustion engine (1), which comprises a separate body portion (4) and nozzle portion (5), which are supported by one another and which together substantially define the pre-chamber (3), which is connected to a main combustion area (7) of the cylinder (6) through nozzle openings (5a) of the nozzle portion (5). The pre-chamber arrangement further comprises a separate pre-chamber bracket (8), which is arranged between the cylinder head (2) and the pre-chamber (3) and through which the body portion (4) and the nozzle portion (5) are supported on the cylinder head (2).
