    Abstract: A cylinder head includes novel designs for undercuts, contours of the outer enclosure, coolant jackets, and other cavities within an outer enclosure of the cylinder head. The cylinder head design enables the reduction of weight of the head while maintaining structural integrity of the head, and improves control of temperatures in intake side and exhaust side zones of the heads to improve operational efficiency of the engine. A method is provided for additive manufacturing of the cylinder head including the disclosed designs.

    Abstract: An apparatus for a combustion cylinder of a reciprocating piston engine includes a combustion cylinder end face component including a first side configured to face the combustion cylinder and extending in a radial direction of the combustion cylinder and a pocket recessed into the first side and including a recessed pocket surface. The combustion cylinder end face component may be one of a piston and a cylinder head. A thermal barrier coating is inlaid in the pocket. The thermal barrier coating includes a ceramic-metallic layer directly coating the recessed pocket surface and a ceramic layer directly coating the ceramic-metallic layer and including an outer surface facing the combustion cylinder.

    Abstract: A system includes an engine and a controller in operative communication with the engine. Engine operating conditions are determined. At least one engine operating condition is determined. Based on the determined at least one engine operating condition, brake-specific fuel consumption is determined for each of a plurality of candidate cylinder pressures. A target cylinder pressure is selected from the plurality of candidate cylinder pressures. The target cylinder pressure is the candidate cylinder pressure at which brake-specific fuel consumption is minimized. Intake valve timing of the engine is modulated so as to achieve the target cylinder pressure.
