  • Publication number: 20180119623
    Abstract: An apparatus for controlling a gasoline-diesel complex combustion engine may include an engine generating driving torque by burning gasoline fuel and diesel fuel; a driving information detector for detecting driving information; a swirl pipe disposed in a combustion chamber, wherein gasoline fuel introduced through the swirl pipe generates a flow in a swirl direction in the combustion chamber; a tumble pipe disposed in the combustion chamber, wherein gasoline fuel introduced through the tumble pipe generates a flow in a tumble direction in the combustion chamber; a swirl gasoline injector and a tumble gasoline injector disposed in the swirl pipe and the tumble pipe for injecting gasoline fuel into the combustion chamber, respectively; and a controller calculating knocking intensity from the combustion pressure and the combustion pressure increasing rate, and controlling a gasoline fuel amount injected by the swirl gasoline injector and the tumble gasoline injector according to the knocking intensity.

  • Patent number: 9175612
    Abstract: A method of controlling combustion of an engine improves unstable ignition and knocking which may be generated in an engine to which a diesel-gasoline mixed combustion mode and a gasoline mixed combustion mode are applied to low load and high load driving zones. The method includes: determining a combustion mode according to a current driving state of the engine; determining a compression ratio corresponding to the combustion mode; controlling a variable compression ratio device to control a compression ratio of a cylinder; determining whether the combustion state of the engine obtained during the combustion after the control to the compression ratio satisfies a set condition; and performing a compression ratio compensation such that the combustion state of the engine satisfies the set condition with taking a combustion pressure sensor signal as a feedback signal when the set condition is not satisfied.
