Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of controlling the combustion process in the combustion chamber in a four-stroke internal combustion engine with at least one cylinder having at least one inlet valve and at least one exhaust valve, comprising supply of a homogeneous fuel/air mixture to the combustion chamber and compression of the mixture to self-ignition.
- the invention also relates to a four-stroke internal combustion engine with at least one cylinder having at least one inlet valve and one exhaust valve, means for supplying a homogeneous fuel/air mixture to the cylinder combustion chamber and control means for at least varying the degree of opening of the exhaust valve.
- HCCI Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition
- the purpose of the present invention is to achieve a method of controlling the tem- perature in the cylinders in an HCCI engine, so that the ignition time will be correct at various engine speeds and loads, thereby making it practically possible to use HCCI engines in motor vehicles, thereby reducing their fuel consumption and emissions.
- the exhaust valve during the exhaust stroke of the piston is controlled so that it, at least within a lower rpm range, closes before the piston has reached its upper dead center point, the degree of opening of the valve being varied, depending on engine load and rpm so that the amount of residual gas at closing of the valve is greater at low loads and high rpm than at high loads and low rpm, to thereby vary the ignition delay by varying the degree of dilution of the fuel/air mixture with residual gases in the combustion chamber.
- the inlet valve is so controlled during the inlet stroke of the piston, that, at least within said lower rpm range, it opens a certain number of crankshaft degrees after the upper dead center point of the piston, the degree of opening being varied relative to the degree of opening of the exhaust valve, to reduce residual gas pressure in the combustion chamber to the inlet air pressure.
- An HCCI engine which must be able to operate within a wide rpm range, e.g. with an upper limit of about 6000 rpm, is preferably equipped with an ignition system which is controlled so that it is deactivated within said lower rpm range, the upper limit of which can lie between 3000 and 4000 rpm.
- the ignition system is activated at the same time as the control of the exhaust and inlet valves is changed to normal engine operation, i.e. the exhaust valve is controlled so that it closes after the piston, during the exhaust stroke, has reached its upper dead center, at the same time as the inlet valve is controlled so that it begins to open before the exhaust valve is completely closed.
- An internal combustion engine of the type described by way of introduction which is to be controlled in the above described manner, is characterized in that the control means are so arranged to control the exhaust valve during the exhaust stroke of the piston, that the valve, at least within a lower rpm range, closes before the piston has reached its upper dead center point, and that the degree of opening of the valve is varied, depending on the engine load and rpm, so that the amount of residual gases in the combustion chamber at the closing of the valve is greater at lower loads and higher rpm than at higher loads and lower rpm.
- Figs. 1- 4 show schematically a cylinder with associated piston in a four-stroke internal combustion engine
- Figs. 5-7 show various valve control diagrams.
- Fig. 1, 1 designates a cylinder in the engine block of a four-stroke internal combustion engine, which in the example shown is an Otto-engine, having a sparkplug 2 projecting into the combustion chamber 3.
- the cylinder 1 has a piston 4, which is connected via a connecting rod 5 to a throw 6 on the crankshaft 7.
- the combustion chamber 3 has an inlet 8 for supply of fuel/air mixture.
- An inlet valve 9 is arranged in the inlet port of the combustion chamber.
- An exhaust valve (not shown) is arranged in an outlet port to the exhaust conduit.
- the opening and closing of the inlet and exhaust valves 9 and 11 are electromag- netically controlled with the aid of electromagnetic devices 12 and 13, respectively.
- the valves can be of a type which is known per se with a valve spindle, joined to a metal disc located between two electromagnets. The electromagnets are magnetized alternatingly and the metal disc is drawn towards that magnet which is momentarily magnetized. With electromagnetically controlled valves of this known type, the degree of opening of the valves can be freely controlled, both from cycle to cycle and for individual cylinders.
- the sparkplug 2 is joined to an ignition system 14 with a control unit, into which, La., signals representing engine rpm and accelerator pedal position are fed for controlling the ignition as a function of engine rpm and load.
- the electromagnets of the valves 9,11 are controlled by a control unit 15, into which there is fed a signal from a sensor (not shown), which directly or indirectly measures the pressure P in the cylinder chamber, and/or a signal representing the ion flow. This signal can be obtained with the sparkplug as a sensor.
- Figs. 1- 4 show HCCI operation, i.e. the ignition system is deactivated and ignition of the fuel/air mixture supplied to the combustion chamber 3 is effected by self- ignition during compression of the mixture.
- Fig. 1 illustrates the position EC of the plunger when the exhaust valve 11 closes during the exhaust stroke, at low load and high rpm within the low rpm range, i.e. up to ca. 3000 - 4000), while
- Fig. 2 shows the position IO of the piston when the inlet valve 9 opens during the inlet stroke under the same operating conditions.
- Figs. 3 and 4 show in a corresponding manner the piston position EC and IO at higher load and lower rpm. In Figs.
- EO designates exhaust open, EC exhaust closed, IO inlet open and IC inlet closed.
- Fig. 5 shows the valve times at low load and high rpm while
- Fig. 6 shows the corresponding times at high load and low rpm.
- a shorter ignition delay is obtained the earlier the exhaust valve closes, because the amount of trapped hot residual gases will in this case increase in the combustion chamber.
- the opening and closing of the valve can be regulated so that the combustion can be correctly positioned during HCCI opera- tion within the entire lower rpm range.
- the valve control is switched to normal Otto-engine operation, i.e. with said valve overlap, as shown in Fig. 7, at the same time as the ignition system is activated.
- the engine load exceeds 50-70% of the maximum engine load.
- the degree of opening of the valves can in principle be regulated in two manners for controlling the amount of residual gas during the exhaust stroke or during the pres- sure reduction during the inlet stroke.
- Either the length of stroke of the valves can be constant and the times for closing the exhaust valve and opening the inlet valve can be varied, as illustrated in Figs. 1-4, or the length of stroke of the valves can be varied and the opening time can be constant or they can be controlled with a combination of the two methods.
- Double fuel injectors are required in this case, however, viz. firstly, injectors for injecting fuel into the inlet tube for HCCI operation within a lower rpm range, and, secondly, injectors for direct injection at normal diesel operation within the rpm range thereover. Furthermore, devices are required for switching the fuel injection.
- Variable valve control can also be obtained with other means than electromagnets.
