27 results about "Spark-ignition engine" patented technology

A spark-ignition engine (SI engine) is an internal combustion engine, generally a petrol engine, where the combustion process of the air-fuel mixture is ignited by a spark from a spark plug. This is in contrast to compression-ignition engines, typically diesel engines, where the heat generated from compression together with the injection of fuel is enough to initiate the combustion process, without needing any external spark.

Method for controlling a spark-ignition engine running on gasoline and alcohol

Method for controlling a spark-ignition engine running on gasoline and alcohol. The invention relates to a method for adjusting a gasoline and alcohol engine within a thermal protection zone close to full load, for which the fuel mixture is set to a target value strictly greater than 1. This target value is determined for each operating speed-load point within this zone as a function of the alcohol content (AB) to limit the exhaust temperature to a predetermined maximum value. Starting from the determination of a first AB value (AB), obtained with an uncertainty of plus or minus x percent, a corrected AB value (AB) is determined by subtracting x percent from the first AB value. The fuel mixture target is then set within the thermal protection zone to the value corresponding to the corrected AB for each point within the zone. (Short figure: Fig. 2)
