Abstract: A piston crown for a piston of an internal combustion engine, the piston crown comprising an annular surface at a first end of the piston crown; and a recessed piston bowl. The piston bowl comprises: a raised floor in the center of the piston bowl; an arcuate surface located radially outward relative to the raised floor; and a lip chamfer surface extending from the arcuate surface to the annular surface. A radially inmost portion of the lip chamfer surface is radially inside the outermost portion of the arcuate surface. The radial distance between the center axis and the innermost edge of the annular surface is between 2.3 and 3.2 time the bowl height. The acute angle between a line extending in the radial direction and a line tangent to the arcuate surface closest to the first end of the piston crown is between 40 and 80 degrees.

Abstract: A piston crown for a piston of an internal combustion engine, the piston crown extending in an axial direction along a central axis and in a radial direction outwardly from the central axis. The piston crown comprises an annular surface at a first end of the piston crown in the axial direction; and a piston bowl located radially within the annular surface and recessed relative to the first end of the piston crown. The piston bowl comprises a raised floor in a radially central region of the piston bowl; an arcuate surface located radially outward relative to the raised floor; and a lip chamfer surface extending radially outwardly from the arcuate surface and radially inwardly from the annular surface. A radially inmost portion of the lip chamfer surface is radially inside the radially outermost portion of the arcuate surface. A bowl maximum radius, Rmax, is defined as a distance in the radial direction between the central axis of the piston crown and an innermost edge of the annular surface.

Abstract: A piston for a compression ignition internal combustion engine includes a crown portion, torroidal portion, and a reentrant portion. The piston further has a recess portion about a central axis of the piston designed to reduce temperatures near a tip portion of the fuel injector.

Abstract: A piston for an internal combustion engine has a re-entrant type combustion bowl. The combustion bowl has two re-entrant volumes in fluid communication and cascaded with respect to the longitudinal axis of the piston. The cascaded re-entrant volumes enhance gas velocities within the combustion bowl to improve fuel combustion.
