Принадлежит: Mazda Motor Corp

The disclosure provides a turbo-charging apparatus for a vehicle engine, which includes a first and second turbocharger, an inter-turbine passage connecting a discharging port of a first turbocharger turbine with an introducing port of a second turbocharger turbine, a bypass passage connecting an introducing passage of the first turbocharger turbine with the inter-turbine passage, and a control valve for opening and closing the bypass passage. The inter-turbine passage extends substantially straight from the discharging port of the first turbocharger turbine toward the second turbocharger when viewed from a direction parallel to turbine shafts of the first and second turbochargers, which are arranged substantially parallel to each other, so that the inter-turbine passage connects with an outer circumferential part of the second turbocharger turbine so as to extend in a direction tangent to an outer circumference direction of the second turbocharger turbine.

An engine having improved combustion characteristics is provided. The engine includes a fuel injection system that is variable between two operational states. In the first operating state, the fuel injectors provide a fuel spray having first spray pattern characteristics. When the system detects that an operation characteristic exceeds a threshold, the fuel injectors are displaced into a second operating state. In the second operating state, the fuel injectors provide a spray pattern having first spray pattern characteristics. The combustion cycle may be characterized by timing the fuel injection so that the fuel is sprayed into the cylinder early in the compression stroke. Further still, the combustion cycle may be characterized by controlling the fuel pressure so that the fuel pressure is inversely related to the load on the engine.

Принадлежит: Denso Corp

When an engine is driven in a compression self-ignited combustion region, a fuel injector injects a fuel into a cylinder in a negative-valve-overlap period where an exhaust valve and an intake valve are both closed. Then, the fuel is injected into the cylinder in an intake stroke. The injected fuel is compressed in a compression stroke to be self-ignited. When it is determined that a steep combustion occurs and a fuel injection quantity in the negative-valve-overlap period is greater than a lower determination threshold, the fuel injection quantity in the negative-valve-overlap period is reduced. When the fuel injection quantity is not greater than the lower determination threshold, an oxygen quantity in the cylinder is reduced.

A difference between a reference energizing time, which becomes the reference for a fuel injection valve, and an actual energizing time based on a frequency component corresponding to a variation in an engine speed which is generated in the minute injection is learned. A correction control corrects an energizing time and timing. The correction control is corrected corresponding to a presence or non-presence of an operation of an exhaust brake and a magnitude of a supercharging pressure, and an amount of variation in an engine speed calculated based on a rotational variation frequency component.

Exhaust gas throttle valve

Номер: US20130199176A1

A method for driving exhaust gas recirculation comprising the steps of restricting exhaust gas flow into the turbine inlet to create backpressure in the exhaust system under low engine operating conditions, and providing an unrestricted exhaust gas flow to the turbine under normal engine operating conditions. Restriction of exhaust gas flow is accomplished through the use of an exhaust gas throttle valve disposed upstream of the turbine inlet. The valves can be adjustable knife edge flap valves or D-shaped valves situated in each passageway of a divided exhaust manifold, which are closed to varying degrees to generate desired levels of backpressure while allowing exhaust gas to pass though open regions of the partially obstructed flow pathway to reach the engine turbocharger. This allows the turbine to continue to spin, while at the same time exhaust gas back pressure upstream of the turbocharger is used to drive exhaust gas recirculation.

An internal combustion engine is configured to operate in a homogeneous-charge compression-ignition combustion mode. Operation of the engine includes determining a combustion pressure parameter for each cylinder. Fueling for each cylinder is controlled responsive to a target state for the combustion pressure parameter for the corresponding cylinder. An end-of-injection timing and a corresponding spark ignition timing for each cylinder are controlled responsive to a target mass-burn-fraction point for an engine operating point.
