Description

SPECIFICATION Compression ignition internal combustion engines This invention relates to internal combustion engines of the liquid fuel injection compression ignition type.
Such engines are described in United Kingdom paten specification No 901 982. In that specification, it was proposed to provide a series of closely spaced projections or depressions in one or more combustion chambers in open communication with the space between the piston face and cylinder head, in order to disturb to a substantial degree the smooth flow of those portion of the air charge which sweep over and/or between the projections and depressions.
In order to improve the combustion process in compression ignition engines, it has also been proposed to incoporate a platinum catalyst in a combustion chamber in the piston crown, in the form of a mesh extending across a diametrical plane of the chamber. It is thought that this interferes deterimentally with the combustion process however by reducing swirl in the chamber.
The present invention provides an internal combustion engine of the liquid fuel injection compression ignition type of the kind in which the greater proportion of the air charged is forced during each compression stroke into one or more combustion chambers in open communication with the space between the piston face and cylinder head, the chamber or each chamber being approximately a figure of revolution about an axis and the arrangement being such that the air charge in the chamber is caused to be in a state of organised rotation within the chamber or chambers at the end of each compression stroke, in which a fuel injector is arranged to inject fuel into the chamber in the general direction of the axis of the injector, and in which there is disposed within the chamber a series of closely spaced projections or depressions such as to disturb to a substantial degree the smooth flow of those portions of the air charge which sweep over and/or between them, at least part of the surface of the projections or depressions having thereon a finely divided catalytic film of a ,platinum group metal or a compound thereof.
The arrangement of the invention allows advantage to be taken of the projections or depressions and of the platinum catalyst, without the disadvantage of a mesh interferring with the swirl in the combustion chamber, The catalytic film may comprise platinum or one of the platinum group metals such as paladium or rodium, or the film may comprise a compound of one of these metals. The amount of metal or compound used will vary depending on the particular catalyst used. In all cases however, sufficient will be employed to produce a notable effect on the combustion initiation process.
The engine may have any of the features described in patent specification No 901982, the contents of which are incoporated herein by reference. In particular, the form of the projections or depressions may vary widely. It may be for example of conical or thimble-like form with each projection spaced from its neighbor by depressed areas of surface and can extend either actually or partially at right-angles to or parallel to or in a direction inclined to the general direction of flow of the portions of the air charge over and between them. The projections or depressions preferably have a height or depth of at least 0.22 millimeters, which is to say substantially greater than typical surface roughness.
Advantageously the member is of substantially conical or modified conical shape projecting from the wall of the chamber opposite to the injector and pointing towards the direction from which the fuel is injected.
Advantageously the chamber or each chamber is formed substantially wholly within the piston crown.
The invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: Figure 1 is a vertical section through a piston and cylinder of a direct injection compression ignition engine, in which the combustion chamber is substantially wholly within the crown of the piston; Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1 showing a different form of combustion chamber; and Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 2, showing a different form of combustion chamber.
Referring first to Figure 1, a piston 1 reciprocating vertically in a cylinder 2 has formed in its crown a combustion chamber 3 in the shape of two superimposed toroids, and liquid fuel is injected directly into this chamber from an injector 4, disposed in the cylinder head 5 and inclined at a small angle to the cylinder axis. The inlet and exhaust valves are not shown. This general shape of open combustion chamber is designed to ensure thorough mixing of the injected fuel with the air charge, which has been in rotation in the form of toroidal eddies by the action of "squish" in the final part of the compression stroke of the piston 1.
In this chamber embodying the invention, there is an insert 6 which is dispersed substantially in the upper part of the chamber 3 and secured by a stud 7 passing up through the underside of the piston crown. The insert 6 is of heat resisting material and is of a modified conical shape with its axis substantially coincident with that of the injector 4. Its curved surface is covered with a series of small conical projections 8, one effect of which is to break up the smooth flow of those portions of the rotation air charge which are closely adjacent to the surface of the insert 6. In this way the intimate mixing of the injected fuel charge with the air charge in this region is ensured and the process of combustion improved.
A more important effect of these projections, however, is the rapid transfer of heat to the fuel and air mixture from the insert 6, which is hot as it has a limited heat-conducting path with the remainder of the walls of the chamber. The presence of the projections 8 increases the area of the surface of the insert 6, as compared with a smooth surface of the same overall dimensions, and the transfer of heat to the charge is accordingly more rapid.
In accordance with the invention the projections 8 are covered by a film of finely divided platinum. During combustion fuel and air will be mixed in the vicinity of the projections which will ensure that the platinum catalyst is advantageously located to assist in the initiation of the reaction. Moreover it will be appreciated that the means for advantageously locating the catalyst are not such as to interfere with the swirling motion of the air charge as has been the case in prior arrangements.
In the double toroidal chamber shown in Figure 1, the air charge has a toroidal rotation in the upper toroid as a result of "squish" by the piston, and then, on combustion, the charge rotates also in the lower toroid.
The arrangement shown in Figure 2 is similar to that of Figure 1 and like parts have been numbered the same, but here the chamber, shown at 9, is of simpler shape, and the insert 10 is of conical shape with a smaller cone angle. The projections 8 are similar to those of Figure 1. The turbulence may be achieved solely by "squish" or it may be assisted by masking of the inlet valve or the use of swirl ports.
The number and size of the projections is not critical in any of the examples and, as indicated earlier, conical or other similar depressions would achieve a similar result. 1t has been found that for best results the height of each projection or depth of each depression should not be less than 0.22 millimeters and they should be of such a form as to increase the area of wall or insert surface over which they extend by at least 10% as compared with a smooth surface of the same overall dimensions. The projections or depressions may be provided on an integral portion of the wall of the combustion chamber or, as indicated in the examples, on a separate insert, and the insert could be of a kind which has limited heatconducting contact with the body of the piston or cylinder head in which it is mounted.
There may be projections on the side walls in addition to a cone covered with projections. In both the arrangements shown the projections are formed on an insert which is bolted to or cast into the piston, but in fact the entire combustion chamber may be formed in an insert, for example by the "lost wax" process, and this insert is cast into the piston. In this case the projections (or depressions) would be integral with the remainder of the combustion chamber wall.
In Figure 3 an annular insert 14 is used coaxially arranged with the fuel injector 1 2 in the combustion chamber 11 in the piston. This is provided with slightly larger conical projections 13 all around its circumference.
