Abstract:
A method of forming a thermally isolated exhaust port, the method comprising applying an endothermic material to an exhaust port core in a mold for an engine cylinder head, forming the engine cylinder head with an exhaust port using a casting process, generating, in the cylinder head with the exhaust port during the casting process, nodular graphite iron proximate the endothermic material around the exhaust port core, and forming the thermally isolated exhaust port containing nodular graphite iron in the cylinder head.

An apparatus for intake and exhaust of an engine includes: an outer tube including an outer-tube close end, an outer-tube open end, and a first outer-tube aperture set including a first aperture and a first outer-tube aperture group, an inner tube positioned in the outer tube about a concentric line, including an inner-tube close end, an inner-tube open end, and a first inner-tube aperture set including a second aperture and a first inner-tube aperture group, in which the inner-tube close end is proximate to the outer-tube close end, and a shaft connected to the inner-tube open end for rotating the inner tube in the outer tube about the concentric line, in which when the inner tube rotates, the second aperture sweeps across a portion of the first aperture and the first inner-tube aperture group sweeps across a portion of the first outer-tube aperture group.
Abstract:
A four stroke internal combustion engine is disclosed comprising at least one cylinder arrangement, an exhaust conduit, and at least one turbine. The cylinder arrangement comprises an exhaust port arrangement configured to open and close an exhaust flow area, ACYL. The cylinder arrangement has a maximum volume, VMAX. The exhaust conduit extends between the exhaust flow area, ACYL, and a turbine wheel inlet area, ATIN, of the turbine and has an exhaust conduit volume, VEXH that is ≤0.5 times the maximum volume, VMAX. The exhaust port arrangement is configured to expose the exhaust flow area, ACYL, at a size of at least 0.22 times the maximum volume, VMAX, when a piston of the cylinder arrangement is at the bottom dead centre, BDC.
Abstract:
There is provided a secondary air introduction device configured to introduce air into an exhaust port provided in a cylinder head of an engine by using a negative pressure in the exhaust port. A back-flow restriction member is provided between a reed valve and the exhaust port in an air introduction passage, and includes a plate part intersecting with an extension direction of the air introduction passage. The plate part has an air passing region in which the air flowing through the air introduction passage from an air intake unit toward the exhaust port is enabled to pass therethrough and a back-flow cutoff region in which exhaust air, which flows in a direction of directly colliding with at least a valve body of the reed valve, of exhaust air flowing back through the air introduction passage from the exhaust port is cut off.
Abstract:
Systems are provided for exhaust gas passages in integrated and conventional exhaust manifolds. In one example, a system may include an exhaust gas passage that has a cross section which features curved limb shapes. This passage may also feature other shapes of cross sections at other points along the passage.
Abstract:
A first coolant flow passage is provided to extend in a longitudinal direction of a cylinder head. In at least one of cross sections perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, the first coolant flow passage is located between a flat plane including central axes of a plurality of combustion chambers and parallel to the longitudinal direction and a central line plane including central lines of a plurality of intake ports. In at least one of cross sections perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, at least a portion of a second coolant flow passage is located between the combustion chamber and the first coolant flow passage. A coolant at a temperature lower than that of a coolant flowing in the second coolant flow passage flows in the first coolant flow passage.
Abstract:
A water jacket for a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine includes a coolant chamber arranged to permit the flow of coolant within the water jacket and a coolant conduit positioned to permit the flow of coolant proximate to a recess for receiving an exhaust valve mounted to the cylinder head. The coolant conduit is in fluid communication with the coolant chamber, and the coolant conduit is shaped as a complex curve. A water jacket includes a pair of apertures arranged to receive a spark plug and a fuel injector. The apertures are separated by a separating member, and a coolant chamber is arranged to permit the flow of coolant about the apertures. The separating member includes a coolant channel in fluid communication with the coolant chamber so as to permit the flow of coolant between the apertures.
Abstract:
Intake and exhaust valve seat inserts for aircraft cylinder heads. The inserts are configured for low pressure loss as inlet air and hot exhaust gas passes through the respective valve seat inserts. In an embodiment, the intake and exhaust valve seat inserts may have a plurality of faces or facets, at prescribed angles, in order to minimize pressure loss of gases passing therethrough. In an embodiment, rather than a plurality of faces or facets, the intake valve seat sidewall, and/or the exhaust valve seat sidewall may be provided in the configuration of a smooth curve approximating a set of selected angles, as if the component were made with a plurality of facets.
Abstract:
An internal combustion engine is provided. The internal combustion engine includes at least one cylinder head and at least one exhaust pipe having at least one flange, whereby the flange has at least two flange fastening holes that have at least two fastening screws for fastening the exhaust pipe to the cylinder head of the internal combustion engine, whereby the exhaust pipe can be arranged so as to be connected to the cylinder head by means of the fastening screws in such a way that it can be dismantled, whereby at least one centering device is provided essentially in the area of the flange holes.
Abstract:
A system in an internal combustion engine is provided. The system a combustion chamber, a first exhaust port in fluidic communication with the combustion chamber, a second exhaust port in fluidic communication with the combustion chamber, and a direct fuel injector positioned between the first and second exhaust port and fluidly communicating directly with the combustion chamber.
