Abstract: A method and system for controlling combustion mode in an internal combustion engine is disclosed. A method for controlling a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine includes operating a portion of the cylinders according to a first combustion mode and operating a second portion of the cylinders according to a second, different combustion mode. The net torque produced by the cylinders equals driver demanded torque. By this invention, a first combustion mode, which has a desirable combustion characteristic such as high fuel economy or low emissions, but which cannot provide driver demanded torque if used in all cylinders, can be used in combination with a second combustion mode, thereby meeting driver demand for torque and gleaning the benefits of the first combustion mode.

Abstract: A stratified charge is formed in an engine by injecting fuel at an impingement surface adjacent an outlet of the injector. The injected fuel thereby forms a cloud shallowly penetrating the combustion chamber so as to float therein to reduce wall-wetting and subsequent soot formation. A substantially flat top piston urges the cloud upwardly during a compression stroke of the engine. The cloud remains substantially unmixed with the inducted air, thereby producing the stratified charge. The continued motion of the piston causes the cloud to move toward the spark plug for ignition.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine employs fuel injectors positioned to inject fuel directly into combustion chambers of the engine, and an electronic engine controller (EEC) to control operation of the engine. The EEC implements a cold start routine which controls the amount of fuel injected, the time at which the fuel is injected and spark timing to achieve a rapid increase in temperature of the engine and the exhaust system components, thereby decreasing tailpipe hydrocarbon emissions during cold start.

Abstract: A free piston engine is configured with a pair of opposed engine cylinders located on opposite sides of a fluid pumping assembly. An inner piston assembly includes a pair of inner pistons, one each operatively located in a respective one of the engine cylinders, with a push rod connected between the inner pistons. The push rod extends through an inner pumping chamber in the fluid pumping assembly and forms a fluid plunger within this chamber. An outer piston assembly includes a pair of outer pistons, one each operatively located in a respective one of the engine cylinders, with at least one pull rod connected between the outer pistons. The pull rod extends through an outer pumping chamber in the fluid pumping assembly and forms a fluid plunger within this chamber. The movement of the inner and outer piston assemblies during engine operation will cause the fluid plungers to pump fluid from a low pressure container into a high pressure chamber as a means of storing the energy output from the engine. Alternatively, the piston assemblies may drive a linear alternator. Each fuel injector is located so that it injects directly into its cylinder near the intake ports, while also being covered during combustion events in order to avoid exposing the fuel injector to the harsh environment of combustion.
