Abstract:
An internal combustion engine at least two intake valves and one exhaust valve per cylinder. The valves are actuated by an intake camshaft and an exhaust camshaft operating with variable timings. The internal combustion engine is also provided with an intake system having separate intake ducts leading to the intake valves. One control flap is provided in at least one intake duct. To optimize the operation of the internal combustion engine with regard to exhaust emissions, fuel consumption, performance, and torque, the timings of the valves and the throughputs of the intake ducts are influenced as a function of the defined characteristic map areas of a torque-rpm graph.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an internal combustion engine comprising a combustion chamber, a piston mounted within the combustion chamber and arranged to be sealingly engaged with walls of the combustion chamber, the piston being arranged for reciprocating motion between a first position in which combustion chamber is of maximum volume and a second position in which the combustion chamber is of minimum volume, wherein the combustion chamber further comprises an inlet-outlet control valve means in a region of the combustion chamber within the minimum volume defined by the piston in its second position, a fluid fuel injection means in a region of the combustion chamber within the minimum volume defined by the piston in its second position, a combustible mixture ignition means located in the region of the combustion chamber within the minimum volume defined by the piston in its second position, and the engine comprises an antechamber comprising an inlet means and spent combustible mixture outlet means, which antechamber is in communication with the inlet-outlet control valve means of the combustion chamber.
Abstract:
Internal combustion engine, with cylinders' body (1) being an individual component, separate from the crankshaft base (29), thus enabling it to move and the cylinder head (3) of which features a common induction-exhaust valve (4) per cylinder, driven by a cam (5), and two secondary auxiliary valves (7), (8), or alternatively (19), (20) per cylinder, for the assistance the main valve during the induction and exhaust strokes. Each engine cylinder (1) has a port (26), at a specified height, where a displacement variation valve (25), and alternatively (27), is mounted, through which a controllable amount of air escapes, during compression as well as when a displacement variation is desired. With the common induction-exhaust valve (4), the compression ratio can be increased to high levels, since this valve is sufficiently cooled, thus preventing the occurrence of self-ignition. With the displacement variation valve, the engine's displacement and, consequently, its fuel consumption and emission level can be reduced, when desired. With the upward and downward movement of the cylinders' body, the combustion area is increased and decreased respectively, and therefore, the combustion ratio is altered, regardless of the displacement.
Abstract:
An internal combustion cylinder assembly includes a cylinder having a combustion chamber and a piston. An intake valve provides a working fluid to the combustion chamber while the piston moves from a top dead center position to a bottom dead center position. A pre-combustion chamber is connected communicably to the combustion chamber via a Suder valve and conveys a portion of the working fluid to the pre-combustion chamber while the Suder valve is substantially open. The Suder valve may open substantially simultaneously with the intake valve, remain substantially open while the piston moves from the top dead center position to the bottom dead center position during an intake stroke, and close substantially while the piston is returning to the top dead center position during a compression stroke.
