The compression ratio control valve opens and closes an air passage that connects the main combustion chamber with an intake port. In gas operation, the valve opening time of the compression ratio control valve is adjusted in accordance with the operating state, and the compression is adjusted by allowing a portion of the air gas mixture inside the main combustion chamber to escape to the intake port. Fuel gas is ignited by a pilot quantity of liquid fuel from the electromagnetic fuel injection valve and is then combusted. In diesel operation, the compression ratio control valve is closed and liquid fuel injected at a high compression ratio from the electromagnetic fuel injection valve is combusted by a precombustion method.

Engine, engine exhaust temperature controlling device and controlling method

An engine exhaust temperature controlling device and a controlling method for maintaining the cylinder exhaust temperature of a gas engine within a specified range to prevent misfire and knocking. If an engine revolution speed is higher than a specified one at S1, a cylinder exhaust temperature is sampled at specified time intervals at S2, an average of exhaust temperatures is calculated at S3, a load percentage at that point of time is judged at S4, and an average exhaust temperature Tave and an exhaust temperature T(n) at each cylinder are compared at S5 to judge which is larger, its deviation ΔTn or a set deviation Tlimit at the above load percentage. If the former is smaller, an exhaust temperature is within a set deviation, thereby not requiring the adjustment of a fuel injection period and allowing the system to return to S2. If the former is larger, whether to increase or decrease the opening period of the electronic fuel injection valve is judged at S6. If the valve opening period is to be increased, the system moves to S7; and if it is to be decreased, the system moves to S8. If an engine revolution speed is higher than a specified one at S9, steps S2-S6 are repeated; and if lower than a specified one at S9, a control operation is stopped.
