An internal combustion engine 10 includes a fuel injection valve 37 for injecting a gasoline fuel into a combustion chamber 25, and a spark plug 35. When the internal combustion engine is operated in a light-load region, the fuel is injected at an early and/or middle stage of an intake strode, whereby a homogeneous air/fuel mixture is formed and compressed to thereby perform a premixed-charge compression auto-ignition operation in which the fuel is auto-ignited and combusted. When the internal combustion engine is operated in a middle-load region, a spark-ignition combustion operation is performed. When the internal combustion engine is operated in a high-load region, air taken into the combustion chamber is compressed, and the fuel is injected into the compressed air, thereby performing a diffusion combustion operation in which the fuel is diffusion-combusted.

The invention relates to a method of operating an internal combustion engine with a six-stroke process involving the following sequence of events: 1<st >stroke (I): air intake into the combustion chamber, 2<nd >stroke (II): compression of the air and injection (3a) of a first fraction of gasoline fuel into the combustion chamber, 3<rd >stroke (III): first working stroke after first ignition (5) of the mixture, said ignition (5) being initiated by an ignition device, 4stroke (IV): new compression of the contents of the combustion chamber, 5stroke (V): second working stroke after second ignition (6) of the fuel-air mixture contained in the combustion chamber, 6stroke (VI): expulsion of the exhaust gases from the combustion chamber, a second fraction of gasoline fuel being injected (3b) prior to the second ignition (6). In order to achieve the lowest possible fuel consumption and low emissions in an internal combustion engine it is suggested that the second fraction of gasoline be injected (3b) during the third stroke (III), preferably during the second half of the third stroke (III), that an at least almost homogeneous fuel-air mixture be formed in the combustion chamber prior to the second ignition (6) and that the second ignition (6) occurs by compression ignition of said homogeneous fuel-air mixture.

A hydrogen engine system is a low-carbon engine system which takes hydrogen-enriched gas produced by using alcohol cracking as fuel. The hydrogen engine system comprises a fuel storage tank and a fuel conveying device, a fuel heating gasifying and cracking device, a hydrogen-enriched gas compressor and an exhaust discharging pipe, wherein the fuel storage tank is connected with the fuel conveying device and then connected to the fuel heating gasifying and cracking device; fuel passes through the hydrogen-enriched gas compressor and is then input into an automobile engine to do work; the fuel heating gasifying and cracking device is installed inside a high-temperature chamber formed by an exhaust discharging device. The hydrogen engine system rarely changes an original gasoline-fueled automobile, keeps a function that the original automobile uses gasoline as fuel, and has unchanged dynamic performance; when an engine is started through cold start and no alcohol is supplied or a storage battery is low in power in the running process, common gasoline can be still used for driving the automobile or heating up a cracker to reach heat and temperature which are required by catalytic reforming hydrogen production, so that the hydrogen engine system has a good development prospect.

An engine capitalizes on the advantages of alternative fuels such as ethanol, E-85, and other alcohols, with a small displacement engine, two cylinders or more, and at least a divided fuel tank or alternatively two tanks. An electronic engine control module selects the fuel for operating conditions and delivers the fuel through separate injection systems. The module selects unleaded gasoline for starting, light load and light cruising conditions. Upon greater demands for engine power, the module adds or switches entirely to a secondary fuel such as alcohol, ethanol, E-85 or other ethanol/gasoline blends and reduces or eliminates the introduction of gasoline fuel. The secondary fuel provides more power than unleaded gasoline, thus reducing the engine displacement required for operating a vehicle under a variety of loads. The present invention seeks a substantial engine power increase, reduction in engine detonation, improved cold starting, re-evaluation of turbochargers, a decrease in gasoline consumption, and gasoline as the default fuel.

The engine control system allows a small and efficient engine to deliver increased power upon demand over conventional automotive engines. The system modulates boost pressure when using a secondary fuel for operations at an increased power level. The power level increase occurs from the combination of lower stoichiometric, or higher octane, fuel and increased dynamic intake pressures. The system maintains engine power as low, with little or no intake boost pressure, and the gasoline, 85 octane minimum, is delivered through injectors. When higher power is demanded, the system increases boost pressure, at intake, while a secondary power fuel (ethanol, E-85, alcohol and the like), is injected.

A bi-fuel internal combustion engine is intended for suppressing consumption of gasoline fuel and reducing exhaust emissions; under ordinary operations, a CNG fuel emitting smaller amounts of NOx, HC, CO, and the like as compared with a gasoline fuel, is used as a supply fuel to reduce the exhaust emissions; in this case, a fuel injection device is required for each of the two types of fuel, that is, the gasoline fuel and the CNG fuel and the problem is torque change and fluctuation occurring when the fuel is switched from gasoline to CNG, or vice versa. Control is provided for correcting a fuel injection quantity, an intake air quantity, and ignition timing when the type of fuel supplied to the engine is switched from one type to another. A single fuel injector is used as both an injector of gasiform fuel and an injector of liquid fuel.

Catalysts and conditions can be chosen to assist in attaining, or to optimize, desirable product yields and/or properties.

A thin layer of low mean-pore-size filter material that permanently accommodates the accumulation of exhaust particulates (as soot or a soot cake) is carried on a porous ceramic support. The supported filter material is closely coupled with the exhaust manifold of the engine, for the purpose of passive regeneration of stored particulates, and removes particulate matter from the exhaust which is directed through the filter layer and ceramic support. The oxygen content of the exhaust oxidizes the particulate matter on the filter material. In a preferred embodiment, a thin layer of the filter material is supported on inlet channel walls of a wall flow-through ceramic filter body to remove the particles from the exhaust. The filter body comprises an upstream exhaust gas flow inlet face with openings to a plurality of inlet channels and a downstream face with a like plurality of openings from outlet channels. The inlet channels are closed at the downstream face and the outlet channels are closed at the inlet face. So the exhaust stream enters the inlet channels and flows through the filter layers and supporting channel walls to an outlet channel. The filtered exhaust stream exits the outlet end of the filter body and is combined into an exhaust passage downstream of the filter body for further treatment as may be necessary.
