Abstract: An electromagnetic ultrasonic flaw detection method is provided which ensures highly accurate inspection of an interior surface of a fin-implanted heat transfer tube for detection of corrosion and requires less time for the inspection, no contact medium such as water, and less time and less costs for a pretreatment. The method may include moving an EMAT in a fin-implanted heat transfer tube of an air cooling heat exchanger axially of the tube; causing the EMAT to generate an axially symmetric SH wave by utilizing an electromagnetic force to vibrate a tube body of the fin-implanted heat transfer tube to cause resonance; causing the EMAT to detect a resonant frequency; and if the detected resonant frequency is different from a resonant frequency observed when the tube body has a normal wall thickness, judging that an interior surface of the tube body has a corroded portion.

Abstract: An engine control device is configured to cause an engine to operate at the optimum combustion mode according to the load when warming up of an emissions purification catalyst is required, and to obtain reduced HC discharged from the engine and accelerated warm-up of the catalyst. The engine control device performs stratified combustion with a compression stroke injection in a low-load region according to the engine load, and performs double-injection combustion with an intake stroke injection and a compression stroke injection in an intermediate load region, when warming up of the catalyst is required. In a high-load region, the engine control device performs homogenous combustion with an intake stroke injection.

Abstract: A four-stroke cycle in-cylinder fuel injection internal combustion engine (1) comprises a fuel injector (8) which injects fuel directly into a combustion chamber (7), performs stratified charge combustion by means of compression stroke fuel injection, and performs homogeneous combustion by means of intake stroke fuel injection. Upon start-up of the engine (1), intake stroke fuel injection is performed at the first combustion opportunity, and compression stroke fuel injection is switched to from the second combustion opportunity onward. In so doing, switching of the combustion system is performed early and independently of the engine rotation speed.

Abstract: An engine control device is configured to perform optimum combustion control according to environmental conditions when warming up of a catalyst for emission purification is required. The engine control device performs stratified combustion by the compression stroke injection at the time of startup, when warming up of the catalyst is required. However, under conditions of low air density, stratified combustion by compression stroke injection is prevented, and either homogenous combustion by intake stroke injection is performed, or double injection combustion by intake stroke injection and compression stroke injection is performed. Thus, the engine control device maintains starting properties and prevents adverse effects on engine operability.

Abstract: An engine system is capable of switching between a first fuel injection mode, in which fuel is injected from a fuel injection valve 23 directly into a combustion chamber 6 in the compression stroke, and a second fuel injection mode, in which fuel is injected from the fuel injection valve 23 directly into the combustion chamber 6 in the intake stroke. A controller 30 determines the characteristic of the fuel that is supplied to the fuel injection valve 23, selects either the first fuel injection mode or the second fuel injection mode according to the fuel characteristic, and starts an engine 1 in the selected fuel injection mode.

Abstract: An in-cylinder fuel injection internal combustion engine (1) is started up by means of compression stroke fuel injection from the beginning of cranking of the engine (1) to the end of a stratified combustion start-up period TST. If the engine (1) reaches complete combustion during the period, a warm-up operation is begun immediately. If the engine (1) does not reach complete combustion during the period, start-up of the engine (1) is continued using intake stroke fuel injection. By means of this control, stable start-up is assured while suppressing the discharge of unburned fuel during start-up of the engine (1).
