Abstract: A diesel engine includes a cylinder head, a cylinder sleeve, a piston, an injector, and a combustion chamber. The top side of the piston includes an annular top surface, an annular collision belt and an annular cavity. The collision belt includes a collision surface, an upper guide surface, and a lower guide surface. An annular throat is formed between the upper guide surface and the cylinder head. The collision belt divides the combustion chamber into a headspace and a central portion. The volume of the headspace is more than three times of the volume of the central portion. A major portion of the fuel jet injected by the injector is directed into the headspace. The results are faster mixing of fuel and air and complete combustion in the combustion chamber, and a reduction of fuel consumption rate by 2%. A method for fuel distribution and combustion is also disclosed.

Abstract: A diesel combustion system including a piston, an annular impinging block, and a combustion chamber. The combustion chamber is divided by the annular impinging block into an upper chamber and a lower chamber. The annular impinging block includes a lower guide surface that is adjacent to the lower chamber and that extends from a trough line connected to the piston to a crest line. The ratios among the inner diameter of the top of the piston, the outer diameter of the top of the piston, the diameter of the trough line, and the diameter of the crest line define the shape of the combustion chamber which leads to increased rate of combustion, reduced soot emission, and increased fuel efficiency.

Abstract: A modularized multifunctional variable valve actuation system for use in a six-cylinder internal combustion engine. The system includes two fuel supply modules that cooperate with two two-way two-position valves for implementing a continuously variable valve event, and that cooperate with two three-way two-position valves and one two-way two-position valve for implementing a fully variable valve event.

Abstract: A modularized multifunctional variable valve actuation system for use in a six-cylinder internal combustion engine. The system mainly comprises fuel supply modules (5 and 6), a phase limiting module (2), a mode selection module (22), control modules (3 and 4), a fuel transfer module (7), and a valve actuation module (1). The phase limiting module (2), with an extremely simple structure, implements a valve closing process not limited by operational phases of the fuel supply modules (5 and 6), and at the same time, requires only two fuel supply modules (5 and 6) and two two-way two-position valves (141, 142, and 143) to implement a continuously variable valve event, and requires only two fuel supply modules (5 and 6), two three-way two-position valves (191, 192, and 193), and one two-way two-position valve (141, 142, and 143) to implement a fully variable valve event, thus greatly reducing costs.

Abstract: A combustion chamber of diesel engine. The diesel engine includes a cylinder head, a cylinder sleeve, and a piston. The cylinder head, the cylinder sleeve, and the piston form the combustion chamber. The combustion chamber includes a headspace; a central part; and a collision belt. The collision belt includes a collision surface, an upper guide surface, and a lower guide surface. The collision belt is configured to connect the headspace and the central part. The collision surface is an inclined surface, a convex surface, or a concave surface. The first tapered surface includes a second inclined surface, a second curved surface, and a third inclined surface; the second tapered surface includes a fourth inclined surface, a third curved surface, and a second concave surface; the first curved surface includes a second convex surface and a third concave surface.

Abstract: A diesel combustion system including an injector and a combustion chamber. The combustion chamber is formed by a cylinder head, a cylinder liner, and a piston. The combustion chamber includes an upper layer and a lower layer. The diameter D1 of the upper layer is larger than the diameter D2 of the lower layer. A junction of the upper layer and the lower layer is provided with an impinging block for rebounding the diesel fuel spray. The impinging block includes an impinging surface, an upper guide surface, and a lower guide surface. When in use, part of the diesel fuel spray is rebounded by the impinging surface, and part of the diesel fuel spray is diffused along the upper guide surface and the lower guide surface of the impinging block to achieve double-layered split flow of the diesel fuel.

Abstract: A multi-fuel pre-mixed combustion system of an internal combustion engine includes a main fuel spray nozzle (2), which injects a mixed fuel of compression-ignition-suitable fuels, spark-ignition-suitable fuel, or a wide cut fuel to form a homogeneous primary pre-mixed gas. An auxiliary spray nozzle (4) injects a spark-ignition-suitable fuel to form a secondary mixed gas, which is ignited by the spark plug (3) by means of spray guiding or an ignition chamber (5), and the primary pre-mixed gas in the combustion chamber (1) is compression ignited. Consequently, the ignition point of the primary mixed gas is effectively controlled and knock is avoided, and a homogeneous pre-mixed compression ignition is achieved over the whole range of operating conditions. The combustion rate is controlled by exhaust gas recirculation or spray of water into a cylinder or intake port, and high thermal efficiency is ensured by a high expansion ratio.
