    摘要: A method of preventing a pre-ignition event within a cylinder (20) of a spark ignition engine (100) involves taking in-cylinder measurements and using the measurements to determine the instantaneous heat being released within the cylinder (20) as a function crank angle. If significant heat is being released before the intended spark timing, additional fuel is injected into the cylinder (20) immediately following the detection of early heat release (pre-ignition) within the same engine cycle, preferably within 45 crank angle degrees following the detection of pre-ignition. The additional fuel quenches the heat released within the cylinder (20) to prevent a pre-ignition event.

    摘要: Methods of mitigating the occurrence of a low-speed pre-ignition event in a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine (10), the engine (10) having a computerized engine management control module (70) and an ignition timing module (66) controllable by the engine management control module (70). The computerized engine management module (70) monitors the operating conditions of the internal combustion engine (10) and at certain operating conditions dithers the ignition timing of at least one cylinder (20) of the engine (10) to induce light to medium SI engine knock temporarily. Due to the high temperature, high frequency pressure waves caused by SI engine knock, fuel and/or lubricant related deposits accumulated on combustion chamber components, i.e. top piston land crevices or piston crown, are consumed so that said deposits (60) cannot become a source of pre-ignition

    摘要: Methods and a related system of preventing a pre-ignition event in a spark ignition engine. Unusual crankcase pressure fluctuations often occur prior to a Low-Speed Pre-Ignition (LSPI) event. A high speed high resolution pressure transducer (60) attached to the crankcase (30) of an engine (10) takes a plurality of engine crankcase pressure measurements and relays these measurements to an engine control module (70). The pressure measurements are analyzed to determine if unusual pressure fluctuations within the crankcase are occurring. If so, one or more engine control parameters are adjusted in order to mitigate a LSPI event. Various engine control parameters may be adjusted including fuel injection, engine load and combustion timing.

    摘要: A method for identifying a lubricant composition that reduces the propensity for knock in an engine. The lubricant composition is mixed with a solvent to reduce the viscosity of the lubricant composition, thereby forming a lubricant-solvent mixture having a viscosity similar to or less than that of engine fuel. A sample of a lubricant-solvent mixture is then subjected to a constant volume combustion test to determine the reactivity associated with the lubricant-solvent mixture. The test is repeated for a range of lubricant-solvent ratios, and statistical methods are used to calculate the reactivity of the lubricant composition without solvent.

    摘要: A method for improving ignition of a spark ignited internal combustion engine by controlling the composition of recirculated exhaust gas. It is assumed that the engine has a spark ignition system and an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) loop such that at least one of the combustion cylinders is an EGR cylinder that generates an EGR stream carried by the EGR loop. Thus, the combustion charge is a mixture of air, fuel and recirculated exhaust. A first step is receiving combustibility data representing the current ignitability of the charge. It is then determined whether the energy of the ignition system is sufficient to ignite the charge. If not, the amount of hydrogen in the EGR stream is increased, which increases the ignitability of the charge.

    摘要: A method and system for controlling recirculated exhaust gas composition and quantity provided to an internal combustion engine, which has one or more separately controllable combustion cylinders, a main exhaust line and an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) loop. A first exhaust valve is connected to the main exhaust line, and a second exhaust valve is connected to the EGR loop. The operation of the exhaust valves is controlled such that exhaust does not flow through both exhaust valves at the same time. Control of the exhaust valves is coordinated with the main fueling event used to control the exhaust composition exiting each valve for every cylinder on every cycle. During each engine cycle, a post-combustion fuel injection event is also used to add fuel to the exhaust in-cylinder, which flows only through the second (EGR) exhaust valve.
