Definitions

  • the present invention relates to four stroke cycle internal combustion spark ignition engines and more specifically to a split four stroke cycle spark ignition reciprocating piston engine adapted to produce mechanical volume compression ratio of more than 60: 1.
  • the compression ignition (CI) engine has comparatively better thermal efficiency as compared to the SI engines. Having approximately "constant-pressure combustion cycle" and lean burn combustion ability, the CI engine can realize higher amount of heat energy to mechanical work during combustion. These are some of the major factors that enable the CI engines to use higher compression ratio. Moreover, the combustion cycle of the CI engine consumes a considerable portion of expansion stroke and thus reduces pure expansion work. Additionally, since the volume expandability of combustion chamber relies merely on the expansion piston displacement which is governed by the crank position and speed, the heat release rate does not fit well with the volume expansion rate, hence optimum benefit is not attainable.
  • Breathing efficiency is another criterion for all IC engines. Breathing efficiency or volumetric efficiency may indicate the maximum power capacity of an engine. Supercharger or turbochargers are often used to boost the breathing efficiency and thus produce greater power with a relatively smaller engine. These booster mechanisms, however, increase engine cost and bulk significantly.
  • Split four stroke cycle engines need fewer valves per cylinder to achieve similar breathing efficiency as existing engines.
  • Split cycle engines generally comprise a pair of piston-cylinder assembly in which one piston-cylinder assembly is used for the intake and compression strokes (hereinafter also referred to as “the compressor unit”) and another piston-cylinder assembly is used for the power and exhaust strokes (hereinafter also referred to as “the power unit”), wherein a crossover passage, being interconnected with the compressor unit and the power unit, transfers pressurized fluid or charge from the said compressor unit to said power unit where a combustion takes place consecutively.
  • US Patent No. 9458741 titled “Split Cycle Phase Variable Reciprocating Piston Spark Ignition Engine” of Mistry discloses an engine including an expansion chamber volume modifier.
  • the expansion chamber volume modifier comprising a free piston and cylinder assembly that makes the engine capable of starting ignition closer to TDC than the prior art split cycle engines but the engine still fires after TDC. Firing after TDC, more or less, invites some constraints like inability to run at high RPM which reduces peak power performance, produce lower peak combustion pressure that reduces work extraction ability. Moreover, a retarded ignition and combustion reduce expansion work which results in considerable loss of fuel energy to exhaust.
  • the above patent discloses a combination of expansion chamber volume modifier and phase altering mechanism in order to achieve an early induction of fresh charge in expansion cylinder as well as to control the effective compression ratio by means of altering phase relation between said compressor and the power unit.
  • the phase altering mechanism however, increase the introduction difficulties like higher manufacturing cost, increase in engine mass, packaging issues, higher operating expenses and complex control algorithm to operate the system.
  • Crower et al discloses an assembly of free piston-cylinder is disclosed.
  • Crower teaches a method and apparatus to modulate the peak combustion pressure spike and thus enable an SI engine to operate with diesel like fuel or allow higher turbo charging boost without exceeding ordinary gasoline cylinder pressures during combustion. This allows higher boost of the engine output without further engine reinforcement normally required.
  • Crower et al also demonstrate a multi-fuel capacity of their technology as well as efficiency to prevent the pollution of the atmosphere by decreasing the formation of oxides of nitrogen (NO x ) in internal combustion engines.
  • NO x oxides of nitrogen
  • Crower lacks demonstrating any significant benefit in thermal efficiency with their technology. Further, in all modern engines, the cylinder heads are crowded with four valves (two intake valves and two exhaust valves) per cylinder which is essential for enhancing breathing efficiency. Crower lacks demonstrating a practicable packaging solution for their device without sacrificing breathing efficiency.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a split cycle spark ignition engine, having a geometric volume compression ratio of about more than 60: 1, wherein the engine may be capable to produce significantly higher thermodynamic efficiency over the existing internal combustion (IC) engines by providing a four stroke internal combustion engine having at least a pair of piston-cylinder assembly, wherein the first assembly is a compressor unit which is used for the intake and compression strokes and the second assembly is a power unit which is used for the combustion cum expansion and exhaust strokes of a four stroke cycle.
  • the compressor unit preferably intakes and compresses only air and therefore the compressed air is delivered to the power unit through a crossover gas passage.
  • the gas passage comprises of an inlet valve on its one end connecting the compressor unit and an outlet valve on its other end connected to the power unit.
  • Fuel is injected into the gas passage where it mixes with compressed air and the fuel-air mixture is then delivered into the combustion chamber of the power unit where subsequently a combustion is initiated by a sparkplug.
  • An improved combustion chamber volume modifier is provided with the power unit for enabling the engine an early induction of fresh charge and particularly enabling the engine starting ignition before TDC.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a split cycle spark ignition engine with a novel and innovative combustion cycle, wherein a combustion of fuel-air mixture may be completed closer to TDC than conventional SI engines and at the same time the engine may attain significant expansion work during combustion.
  • Another object of the invention is the provision of the new combustion cycle that enables the engine for conversion of greater amount of heat energy to mechanical work during combustion and thus producing substantially higher peak combustion pressure at significantly lower combustion temperature than the existing SI engines.
  • a further object of the invention is the provision of the combustion chamber volume modifier for enabling the combustion chamber volume to expand in response to instantaneous chamber pressure, instead of being dependent on the crankshaft speed.
  • a still further object of the invention is to reduce pumping loss by accomplishing Atkinson cycle (late intake valve closing) by means of shifting phase relation between a multiple intake valves.
  • a furthermore object of the invention is to accomplish optimum torque through a significantly greater rpm range than existing IC engines.

  • the volume portion 21b of the combustion chamber volume 21 is too small that an adequate amount of combustible fluid cannot be transferred to the portion 21b, whereupon the volume would be even smaller at TDC.

Thus, at TDC the volume portion 21a becomes the major part of combustion chamber 21. Since the combustion starts before TDC, the progressive combustion pressure continues to cause further expansion of volume 21a until peak combustion pressure is accomplished.
  • the point of ignition is preferably configured to be 5 to 10 CAD before TDC and thus a peak combustion pressure is attainable within 10 to 15 crank angle degrees after TDC.
  • Air-fuel mixture is transferred to the combustion chamber 21 at nearly fully compressed condition and so the mixture enters into the combustion chamber at a very high velocity and thus produces a very strong turbulence in the combustion chamber 21. This turbulence is continued thereon with a squish generated turbulence. Since, at the point of ignition the air-fuel mixture is nearly fully compressed (contrary to the conventional SI engine where ignition initiate well before reaching full compression, i.e., about 20 to 25 CAD before TDC), during ignition the mixture density, pressure and turbulence is significantly higher than the prior art SI engines. Further, because no combustion occurs in the compressor unit, the compression chamber 11 contains no residual burned gas and only air is used for compression, the compression occurs at significantly higher specific heat ratio than conventional internal combustion (IC) engines. This produces considerably higher thermodynamic efficiency than the existing IC engines.
