Description

05~L

The present invention relates to a four-stroke engine ~
with two valves per cylinder. ~;
Known four-stroke diesel engines with two valves per cylinder and with a combustion chamber incorporated in the piston can be classifled into three main categories:
The first category which is practically obsolete comprises a lateral injector remote from the centre and only able to open into the piston chamber because of the use of a piston having a head which is not flat or which includes an inlet channel to the chamber which itself is not symmetrical.
Alternatively, an injector transfer channel to the chamber situated in the piston is included in the cylinder head. The combustion chamber is then not totally incorporated in the piston.
The second and third categories provide the majority o~ engines which are now manufactured inclustrially with the chamber incorporated in the piston.
The engines of the second category have relatively open, shallow combustion chambers in the piston head and injectors relatively near to the axes of the cylinders, each injector emitting several jets distributed around the periphery of the correspondinc3 chamber.
The perEormAnce of khese en~Ji.nes is excellent, ~or they give good output wlth A low fuel consumption over the whole range of use, and lower temperatures in the critical zones;
they start well ;Erom cold, And give low pollution (liktle smoke) exhaust.
On the other hand, each injec-tor is very near to the inlet and outlet ~penings in the cylinder head, so that the eorJ7 ~a c f 3~ cylinder head~leaving little room to provide sufficiently large cooling water ducts.

~a~87~)5~L ~

The third category concerns enginès which are referred to as having "parietal injection". These engines carry in the piston heads relatively deep combustion chambers .:
wikh f~irly restricted throats which are generally symmetrical, but sometimes include a small channel facilitating the passage of the jets from the injector to the combustion chamber.
The injectors have jets directed in such a way as to spread :
over the surface of the combustion chamber, hence the term ".parietal injector".
Each injector may have a smaller number of jets than the corresponding number for an engine of the second category and in addition, it is, fairly remote from the centre of the corresponding cylinder. ~.
These engines therefore have more accessible injectors, which is advantageous for maintenance and repairs, and it is easier to provide large passages in the cylinder head for the flow o cooling water.
Accordlngly, the invention provides a four-stroke ;
diesel engine having two valves per cylinder, wherein 20 each injector is located in the cylinder head in such a way as to project at least three jets of fuel in the direction of a combustion chamber formed in a corresponding piston head, the eccentricity of each injec-to.r in its cylinder being at least equal to O.lS times the d.iameter o.E the cylinde.r, the height oE the combustion chamber formed in the head of ~nos~
each piston being at 14a~ equal to 0.55 times the maximum diameter oE the chamber, the eccentricity of the injector being deined as beiny the distance between the point of intersection of the axis of the cylinder with the plane containing the lower flat face of the cylinder head and the point of intersection of the axis of the injector with the same plane, the height of :

the chamber beiny defined as being the greatest depth of the 5~

chamber measured parallel to the axis of the cylinder, and the maximum diameter of the chamber being the greatest diameter measured parallel to the lower face of the cylinder head.
~s the injector is generally inc].ined in relation to the axis ofthe cylinder, its position in relation to the latter demands accurate positioning of the intersection of its axis with the lower flat face of the cylinder head, preferably, -~:
each injector has at least three jets of which the impact zones are distributed all around the chamber, these chambers forming a cone of which the apex angle is greater than 90.
The invention will now be descrlbed in more detail, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying : ....
drawings, in which:- :
Figure 1 is an axial section of an engine cylinder according to the invention, and Fiyure 2 is a plan view of the cylinder shown in Fic3ure 1.
In the clrawings, an engine cylinder comprises a liner 1 and a cylinder head 2 provided with avalve 3 mounted in an inlet port, and a vaLve 4 mounted in an exhaust port and an iniector 5.
A combustion chamber 6 is defined within the head o a piston 7 which slides vertically inside the cylinder. This chamber 6 is toroidal, or cylindrical with a ~lat or curved bottom, and has a maximumdiameter 8 and a maximum heigh-t or depth 9.
The cylinder i~ bored to a diameter 10, and the injector is eccentric by a distance 11 in relation to the cylinder, the degree of eccentr.icity being defined as the distance between the point of intersection of the axis of the .~ cylinder with the plane containing the lower flat face of the cylinder and the point of intersection of the axis of the injector with the same plane.
The injector is designed to emit three jets of fuel 12 ~87~

of which the zones of impact are distributed all around the chamber 6 along a cone of which the apex angle is greater than 90.
It can be seen that the described engine has a flat piston and a symmetrical combustion chamber situated in the ~-piston. The eccentricity 11 of the injector in the cylinder is at least 0.15 times and should be between 0.18 and 0.3 times the bore diameter 10 of the said cylinder for optimum performance.
The maximum depth 9 of the combustion chamber 6 of the piston head should be less than 0.55 times the maximum diameter 8 of the said chamber.
Tests have shown that this diesel engine has qualities at least equal and sometimes superior to those oE an engine with direct injection, as regards output, low consumption, stArtiny or reduced pollution, whilst linking the performance with a better distribution oE components in -the cylinder head.
In fact, the injector 5 is sufficiently far away from the valves 3 and 4 for it to be possible to provide large cooling channels for the flow of water and the injectors are.very Accessible .
I'he ~cope oE the invention will not be exceeded by u~lny in~cc~ors capable oE emtttincJ a numbex oE jets oE Euel other than three, or by giving the axis oE the injectors a larger or smaller inclination with regard to the axis oE each cylinder.
