    摘要: An engine control apparatus includes a control system including one or more memories and one or more processors communicably coupled to one another, and controlling ignition timing of a spark plug. The one or more memories hold first and second ignition timing maps that provide setting of the ignition timing for each engine operation point. The one or more processors determine the number of injection stages of an injector. When the number of injection stages of the injector is the first number of injection stages, the one or more processors control the ignition timing of the spark plug based on the first ignition timing map. When the number of injection stages of the injector is the second number of injection stages greater than the first number of injection stages, the one or more processors control the ignition timing of the spark plug based on the second ignition timing map.

    摘要: A method for determining a combustion gas composition of a combustion gas for an internal combustion engine includes operating the engine, and establishing an operating point of the internal combustion engine during operation. The method also includes detecting a nitrogen oxide emission of the internal combustion engine at the operating point. The method further includes detecting an exhaust gas temperature of the internal combustion engine at the operating point, and detecting a combustion air ratio of the internal combustion engine at the operating point. The combustion gas composition of the combustion gas is determined based on the operating point, the detected nitrogen oxide emission, the detected exhaust gas temperature and the detected combustion air ratio.

    摘要: An engine is configured to ignite an air-fuel mixture with an electric spark to ignite an air-fuel mixture. The engine includes: a cylinder head including a chamber partition wall having through holes and defining a main combustion chamber and a sub-combustion chamber; a fuel injector that injects fuel into the main combustion chamber; an air injector that injects air into the sub-combustion chamber; an ignition device causes an electric discharge between an ignition electrode and the chamber partition wall; and a control system that controls the fuel and air injectors, and the ignition device. At a compression stroke during a warm-up operation, the fuel is injected throughout a first period, and the air is injected throughout a second period at least partially overlapping the first period. At a power stroke during the warm-up operation, the electric discharge is caused after the fuel is injected.

    摘要: An ignition device is used in an internal combustion engine that uses a flame-retardant fuel. The ignition device includes a spark plug, a discharge circuit, and a control unit. The spark plug is placed in a cylinder of the internal combustion engine. The discharge circuit induces a high voltage in the spark plug, to thereby discharge the spark plug. The control unit controls a timing at which the spark plug is discharged by the discharge circuit. The control unit causes the discharge circuit to discharge the spark plug a plurality of times while a piston performs a reciprocating operation once in the cylinder. As a result, even when a flame-retardant fuel is used for the internal combustion engine, the ignition rate of the fuel can be enhanced.
