Abstract: An apparatus for diagnosing and controlling combustion of an internal combustion engine is provided which makes smooth operation of an engine possible by adjusting the combustion condition at the occurrence of knock, misfire, and flame quenching and also makes it possible to detect the occurrence of abnormality in cylinder pressure detectors without delay and deal with the abnormality without stopping the operation of the engine. The apparatus comprises a means to calculate the maximum pressure ratio Pp/P0, Pp being the maximum cylinder pressure, P0 being the compression pressure at one or a plurality of crank angles in the compression stroke, a means to compare said Pp/P0 with pressure ratios (threshold pressure ratios) predetermined for each of diagnosis categories, and a means(step) to diagnose the combustion condition such as cylinder pressure by judging the result of said comparison every cycle or every plural cycle. For example, the ratio of the pressure P1 at a crank angle in the combustion stroke to said pressure P0 in the compression stroke, i.e. combustion pressure ratio P1/P0 is calculated, when said maximum pressure ratio Pp/P0 is equal to or smaller than the predetermined permissible minimum pressure ratio (Pp/P0nullPn) and at the same time said combustion pressure ratio P1/P0 is equal to or smaller than the predetermined pressure ratio Pm of misfire (P1/P0nullPm), a misfire is judged to have occurred in the combustion chamber.

Abstract: A liquified gas delivery system for a motorized platform includes a holding tank configured to receive liquified gas. A first conduit extends from a vapor holding portion of the tank to a valve device. A second conduit extends from a liquid holding portion of the tank to the valve device. Fluid coupled to the valve device is a vaporizer which is in communication with an engine. The valve device selectively withdraws either liquified gas or liquified gas vapor from the tank depending on the pressure within the vapor holding portion of the tank. Various configurations of the delivery system can be utilized for pressurizing the tank during operation.

Abstract: A method of operating an internal combustion engine under high charge dilution conditions using a hydrogen-rich fuel is disclosed. The high charge dilution conditions are attained by diluting the hydrogen-rich fuel with gases such as excess air or recycled exhaust gas. The mixture to be charged to the combustion chamber is thoroughly mixed before it is introduced into the combustion chamber while the combustion chamber maintains a substantially quiescent state such that the charge mixture is introduced with an angular momentum lower than that of a typical low emission engine. The result is an internal combustion engine with both high efficiency and low emissions, particularly, low NOx emissions.
