25 results about "Lean burn" patented technology

Lean-burn refers to the burning of fuel with an excess of air in an internal combustion engine. In lean-burn engines the air:fuel ratio may be as lean as 65:1 (by mass). The air / fuel ratio needed to stoichiometrically combust gasoline, by contrast, is 14.64:1. The excess of air in a lean-burn engine emits far less hydrocarbons. High air–fuel ratios can also be used to reduce losses caused by other engine power management systems such as throttling losses.

Internal combustion engine with sub-combustion chamber

In an internal combustion engine equipped with a sub-combustion chamber that enables lean burn, a structure is disclosed that allows for easy detection of blockage in the flame ejection hole of the sub-combustion chamber and also facilitates measures to restore the blockage. [Solution] A pressure sensor 25 capable of detecting pressure fluctuations in the main combustion chamber is provided in the cylinder head 3. When some of the flame ejection holes 22 in the sub-combustion chamber 15 become clogged, the size of the jet flame 23 ejected from the flame ejection holes 22 changes, causing the combustion pressure in the main combustion chamber to become uneven. This results in unevenness in the waveform of the pressure fluctuations during the expansion stroke, and it is also predicted that a unique pressure wave will be generated. The pressure sensor 25 detects the unevenness of the waveform and the unique pressure wave to detect clogging of the flame ejection holes 22. Subsequently, the internal air-fuel ratio of the sub-combustion chamber 15 is changed to the stoichiometric ratio to burn off deposits with a jet flame.
