Abstract: There is provided an engine control unit to ensure operational performance and safety performance of a vehicle by carrying out switchover of combustion according to an operating condition of a vehicle (automobile). A vehicle peripheral condition such as vehicular gap, etc., a traveling geographical state, a condition that ensures vehicle stability, etc. are acquired, and switchover of combustion, for example, switchover between compression ignition combustion and spark ignition combustion is effected correspondingly.

Abstract: There is provided a scroll compressor having high overall adiabatic efficiency and reliability in a wide pressure operating range. A backside excess-suction-pressure region is provided such that pressure higher than suction pressure by a constant value is applied to a backside of scroll members to produce an attractive force to attract both scroll members. A control bypass is also provided for communicating compression chambers with a discharge system only when pressure in the compression chambers is high.

Abstract: In a multi-cylinder engine having a compression ignition combustion mode, a vibration detecting sensor that is preferably mounted in a cylinder block or a cylinder head is used to detect a frequency and the detected frequency is appropriately analyzed to detect or estimate a cylinder pressure peak value and peak timing for each cylinder. An amount of internal EGR, a fuel injection condition, an engine speed and the like are then controlled so as to bring each of these parameters into an appropriate range thereof. The control apparatus suppresses variations in combustion states among different cylinders and different cycles arising from unit-to-unit variations or deterioration in the engine or part-to-part variations or deterioration in a component thereof.

Abstract: In an engine cogeneration system in which power generators 5 to 8 are driven by a plurality of engines 1 to 4 to thereby supply electric power to power load 22 of a general household, at the same time, heat produced by cooling each of the engines 1 to 4 and heat generated from the exhaust gas are recovered by heat exchangers 18 and 19 to be stored as hot water into a hot-water tank 20 to supply heat to heat load 21 of the general household, the amount of power to be supplied and of the amount of heat to be supplied are controlled by a number of the engines 1 to 4 and the combustion modes of these engines 1 to 4. This engine cogeneration system can follow both the head demand and power demand in a high efficiency.
