Conditioning of a pre-chamber gas flow for a combustion engine

The present invention pertains to arrangements for a pre-chamber of a combustion engine as well as pre-chambers comprising such arrangements, in particular to condition or temper a gas flow within a gas-purged pre-chamber prior to entering a combustion area. Accordingly, an arrangement for a pre-chamber gas valve of a combustion engine is suggested, comprising a housing having an outer surface and comprising a channel, a first end of the channel being in fluid communication with the outer surface and a second end of the channel being connectable to a valve seat of the pre-chamber gas valve, and at least one protrusion extending from the outer surface of the housing. The first end of the channel is arranged upstream of the second end of the channel and downstream of at least one protrusion, wherein the arrangement is configured to absorb heat from a combustion portion of the combustion engine arranged downstream of the second end and to temper a gas upstream of the second end only using said heat, when the arrangement is in a mounted state.

Internal combustion engine with shrouded injection valve and precombustion chamber system

An engine is provided. In one embodiment, the engine includes a precombustion chamber having a body, a secondary combustion chamber disposed at least partially in the body, and a plurality of passages configured to place the precombustion chamber in fluid communication with a main combustion chamber.

Dual pre-chamber combustion system

In one embodiment, a combustion system for an engine is disclosed. The system includes a cylinder block that defines a cylinder bore and opposing pre-chambers located along a circumference of the cylinder bore. The system also includes a fuel injector located equidistant from the circumference of the cylinder bore that injects fuel in a direction perpendicular to a diameter of the cylinder bore. The system further includes spark plugs located within the pre-chambers that ignite at least a portion of the fuel from the fuel injector to direct ignition flames into the cylinder bore.

Prechamber system

A prechamber system for an internal combustion engine has a prechamber, a fuel introduction device, a dead space which connects the fuel introduction device to the prechamber. A channel is provided which connects the prechamber to the dead space.
