Abstract:
The present invention relates to a arrangement and a method for a combustion engine of the type where self-ignition of a fuel mixture takes place. The arrangement comprises first means adapted to supplying a first partial quantity of the fuel mixture to the combustion space (3), and a second means adapted to supplying a second partial quantity of the fuel mixture to the combustion space, which second partial quantity of the fuel mixture is at a different fuel concentration from the first partial quantity of the fuel mixture. Said means is adapted to supplying the first partial quantity of the fuel mixture and the second partial quantity of the fuel mixture in such a way as to create in the combustion space (3) at least one region which is at a higher fuel concentration than other regions and in which the self-ignition of the fuel mixture is intended to start.

Abstract:
The invention relates to an internal combustion engine of four-stroke type, comprising a first valve control means (21), which is arranged to control the first valve (18) to open at a bottom dead centre (BDC) for the piston (P1 ) in a first cylinder (C1), between an expansion stroke and an exhaust stroke, and to close at a top dead centre (TDC) for the piston (P1) in the first cylinder (C1), between the exhaust stroke and an inlet stroke. A second valve control means (22) is arranged to control a second valve (19) to open when the first valve (18) closes, and to close at the bottom dead centre (BDC), between the inlet stroke and a compression stroke. A deactivation device (34) is arranged to control a third valve (24), so that it remains closed during all the strokes of the engine (2). The invention also pertains to a vehicle (1) comprising such an internal combustion engine (2) and a method to control an internal combustion engine (2)
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an arrangement and a method for controlling a combustion engine (1), e.g. of the type called HCCI engine. The arrangement comprises a control unit (19) adapted to controlling the self-ignition of the fuel mixture towards an optimum crankshaft angle (cad iopt ) within a load range (L tot ). Said load range (L tot ) can be divided into at least two subranges (L II , L III ) and the control unit (19) is adapted to controlling the self-ignition of the fuel mixture towards an optimum crankshaft angle (cad iopt ) within one of said subranges (L II ) by means of a strategy (II) which entails the effective compression ratio (c) in the cylinder (2) being varied, and within the second subrange (L III ) by means of another strategy (III) which entails a variable amount of cooled exhaust gases (ceg) being led to the combustion chamber (3) so that it becomes possible also in the second subrange (L III ) to control the self-ignition of the fuel mixture towards an optimum crankshaft angle (cad iopt ) by variation of the effective compression ratio (c) in the cylinder (2) without it falling below a lowest acceptable value (c min ).
