  • Patent number: 10711728
    Abstract: A control device for an internal combustion engine provided with a combustion control part successively performing at least first main fuel injection and second main fuel injection for causing premix charged compression ignition of fuel so that a pressure waveform showing a change of a rate of cylinder pressure rise over time becomes a two-peak shape and a peak ratio which is a ratio of a first peak value of a first peak of the pressure waveform and a second peak value of a second peak falls within a predetermined range. The combustion control part calculates the ignition delay time of the fuel injected by the second main fuel injection (second ignition delay time) and reflects the injection correction amount in the target injection amount of the second main fuel injection (second target injection amount) if an injection correction amount is set for the amount of fuel injected from the fuel injector and the second ignition delay time is less than a predetermined value.

  • Patent number: 10190527
    Abstract: An action of injection of the main injection fuel (QM) from the fuel injector (3) is started within a range of crank angle from 10 degree before the compression top dead center to 10 degree after the compression top dead center. A smaller amount of the auxiliary injection fuel (QN) than the main injection fuel (QM) is made to be injected from the fuel injector (3) before the main injection fuel (QM) so as to make the auxiliary injection fuel (QN) ignite by the premixed charge compression ignition. The injection timing of the auxiliary injection fuel (QN) is controlled to a timing whereby a heat generated by the premixed charge compression ignition of the auxiliary injection fuel (QN) causes the premixed charge compression ignition of the main injection fuel (QM) after the start of injection of the main injection fuel (QM).

    Abstract: A turbine generator system includes a turbine power generation unit including a generator and a turbine for driving the generator. The turbine generator system also includes an evaporator, a condenser, a medium feeding pump, a circulating pump, and a feeding passage. The evaporator receives heat from a heat source and supplies a working medium in a vapor phase containing a lubricant to the turbine power generation unit. The condenser condenses the working medium which has flowed through the turbine. The medium feeding pump raises a pressure of the condensed working medium and feeds the working medium to the evaporator, and the working medium extracted from the evaporator is supplied through the feeding passage to bearings in the turbine power generation unit.

  • Patent number: 8261755
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to control the discharge amount of unburned fuel components in the internal combustion engine. According the present invention, the number of times of execution of sub fuel injection is changed based on the operation range within which the operation state of the internal combustion engine falls so that the lower the engine load of the internal combustion engine is, and the lower the number of engine revolutions of the internal combustion engine is, the more the number of times of execution of sub fuel injection is increased. Furthermore, the lower the atmospheric pressure is, the lower the temperature of the cooling water of the internal combustion engine is, or the lower the temperature of the intake air of the internal combustion engine is, the more an operation range in which the number of times of execution of sub fuel injection is large is expanded to higher loads and higher revolutions.
