SYSTEM DEVICE FOR STRATIFIED INJECTING EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION FOR CLEAN COMBUSTION OF INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE
20230193859 · 2023-06-22 ·

Disclosed are two system devices for stratified injecting the recirculated exhaust gas and high-specific-heat-capacity or inert gas for clean combustion of an internal combustion engine. The former is composed of an exhaust gas recirculation system, an injection system, and a power system. The latter is composed of four parts, and a high-specific-heat-capacity gas or inert gas channel is added. Injectors can be arranged at any position in the cylinder between a top dead center and a bottom dead center of a piston in a cylinder; 1-3 layers of injectors can be arranged; and 2-6 injectors can be arranged on each layer. Gas participating in combustion enters the cylinder from two intake channels, namely, a scavenging port of the internal combustion engine and the injectors; an in-cylinder swirl ratio can be remarkably increased through kinetic energy carried by the gas; and fuel-gas mixing is promoted, and the combustion rate is increased.

Method of estimating actual EGR ratio in EGR system and EGR system
11680533 · 2023-06-20 · ·

A controller, in shifting the state of the EGR system from the EGR operating state to the EGR non-operating state at the time of performing the deceleration of the vehicle, calculates a provisional EGR ratio that is a provisional value of the current EGR ratio, estimates the provisional EGR ratio as the actual EGR ratio when a fore-and-aft differential pressure of the EGR valve is equal to or more than a predetermined value, performs correction to make the provisional EGR ratio smaller, and estimates the corrected provisional EGR ratio as the actual EGR ratio when the fore-and-aft differential pressure of the EGR valve is less than the predetermined value.
