The camshaft is synchronized with the crankshaft to rotate at a same rotational speed as the crankshaft. A linkage arrangement is configured to prevent the motion of the valve head every alternate rotation of the camshaft, such that the exhaust opening remains closed during a compression stroke of the piston. Also a method for controlling a four stroke internal combustion engine is disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates a control system and a method for controlling exhaust flow in an exhaust line of a combustion engine comprising at least one exhaust treatment component and an evaporator of a waste heat recovery system. The control system comprises a valve arrangement in the exhaust line control unit, a temperature sensor to sense a temperature of the exhaust treatment component and a control unit configured to position the valve arrangement in a first position, when the exhaust treatment component has a lower temperature than a specific temperature of exhaust gases directed flow through to the exhaust treatment component before being directed to flow through the evaporator, and in a second position, when the exhaust treatment component has a higher temperature than said specific temperature of exhaust gases that are directed to flow through the evaporator before being directed to flow through the exhaust treatment component.

Abstract: An arrangement and a method for a combustion engine for self-ignition of a fuel mixture. A first device supplies a first partial quantity of the fuel mixture to the combustion space, and a second device supplies a second partial quantity of the fuel mixture to the combustion space, which second partial quantity of the fuel mixture is at a different fuel concentration from the first partial quantity of the fuel mixture. The devices supply the first and the second partial quantities of the fuel mixture as to create in the combustion space at least one region which is at a higher fuel concentration than other regions and in which the self-ignition of the fuel mixture is intended to start.

Abstract: An arrangement and a method for controlling a combustion engine, e.g. of the type called HCCI engine. A control unit for controlling the self-ignition of the fuel mixture towards an optimum crankshaft angel (cadiopt) within a load range (Ltot). The load range (Ltot) can be divided into at least two subranges (LI, LII) and the control unit is adapted to controlling the self-ignition of the fuel mixture towards an optimum crankshaft angle (cadiopt) within a first subrange (LI) by means of a strategy (I) which entails a variable amount of hot exhaust gases being supplied to or retained in the combustion chamber, and within a second subrange (LII) by means of another strategy (II) which entails the effective compression ratio (c) in the cylinder being varied.

Abstract: A combustion engine with compression-initiated combustion comprises at least one cylinder in which a piston is movable axially between a lower dead center point and an upper dead center point, with a dead volume between the cylinder and the piston at the upper dead center point. The dead volume comprises at least two substantially separate spaces in the piston and/or the cylinder at the upper dead center point which are designed to ensure that combustion is initiated at different times.

Abstract: A method for fuel injection in a four-stroke combustion engine (1) of piston-and-cylinder type with compression ignition, whereby a specified fuel quantity is supplied to a combustion chamber (2) for each working cycle, and whereby EGR gases are led back to the combustion chamber (2). At least a first portion of said fuel quantity is combined with hot EGR gases for supply to the combustion chamber (2). The invention also relates to a combustion engine working according to the method.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an arrangement for controlling at least one engine valve (25) of a combustion engine. The arrangement incorporates a hydraulic circuit with a pump (1), a control valve (2) which is designed to control a flow of medium in the circuit, and a power device (3) which is designed to move the engine valve (25) between open and closed positions. The pump (1) is designed to circulate a flow of medium continuously in at least part of the circuit during an operating state of the combustion engine, and the control valve (2) is designed to direct as necessary the flow of medium circulated by the pump (1) to the power device (3) so that the latter moves the motor valve (25) in a desired direction.
