Abstract:
A piston crown is provided for a piston in an internal combustion engine arrangement that includes a cylinder, the piston crown having a piston bowl surface adapted for facing a combustion chamber in the cylinder, wherein the piston bowl surface including a circumferential rim portion, a floor portion connected to and surrounded by the circumferential rim portion, a plurality of circumferentially spaced protrusions in the circumferential rim portion, at least one spray impingement portion, located between two adjacent protrusions. The spray impingement portion includes a reflection surface, being defined by that each possible normal to the reflection surface is directed towards a central axis of the piston, and forming an angle being within a range of a constant angle ±10° with the central axis, wherein the constant angle is at least 50°.
