Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present description generally relates to methods and systems for injecting fluid into a cylinder through an orifice in a valve seat. Background technique
[0002] Internal combustion engines have been designed with multi-fuel capabilities. In some cases, the injection of multiple fuels may be coordinated during the combustion cycle. Engines have, for example, utilized mixtures of ethanol and water to improve combustion efficiency and reduce emissions. Water is used to provide targeted cooling of the intake charge to increase charge density. Specifically, water has the potential to reduce nitrogen monoxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions in exhaust. Ignition of alcohol during combustion additionally allows for increased power output. Exhaust systems have also used fluid injection systems to inject diesel exhaust fluid into the exhaust upstream of the catalyst to reduce nitric oxide concentrations.
