Patent number: 6915776Abstract: A premixed charge compression ignition engine, and a control system, is provided which effectively initiates combustion by compression ignition and maintains stable combustion while achieving extremely low nitrous oxide emissions, good overall efficiency and acceptable combustion noise and cylinder pressures. The present engine and control system effectively controls the combustion history, that is, the time at which combustion occurs, the rate of combustion, the duration of combustion and/or the completeness of combustion, by controlling the operation of certain control variables providing temperature control, pressure control, control of the mixture's autoignition properties and equivalence ratio control. The combustion control system provides active feedback control of the combustion event and includes a sensor, e.g. pressure sensor, for detecting an engine operating condition indicative of the combustion history, e.g. the start of combustion, and generating an associated engine operating condition signal.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2003Date of Patent: July 12, 2005Assignee: Cummins Inc.Inventors: Axel O. zur Loye, Omowoleoa C. Akinyemi, Russ P. Durrett, Patrick F. Flynn, Gary L. Hunter, Greg A. Moore, Jackie M. Mudd, George G. Muntean, Julie A. Wagner, John F. Wright

Patent number: 6408625Abstract: An electric power generation system is disclosed, which includes a back-up electric power generator driven by a four-cycle internal combustion engine. The engine includes a plurality of reciprocating cylinders each rotatably coupled to a crankshaft, which drives the electric power generator. The engine also includes a compressor along an intake pathway to deliver pressurized air to the cylinders and a turbine along an exhaust pathway to power the compressor when driven by exhaust discharged from the cylinders. The engine is prepared to accept a generator load by increasing boost pressure provided by the compressor. This increase is accomplished by skip-firing the cylinders in a selected pattern, retarding ignition timing for the cylinders, or a combination of these techniques. A unique skip-fueling control pattern is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2000Date of Patent: June 25, 2002Assignee: Cummins Engine Company, Inc.Inventors: Peter V. Woon, Axel O. Zur Loye, Larry J. Brackney, Jay F. Leonard, Eric K. Bradley, Terry M. Vandenberghe, Jacqueline M. Yeager, Julie A. Wagner, Greg A. Moore
