US Patent:
6915776, Jul 12, 2005
Filed:
Oct 15, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/684560
Inventors:
Axel O. zur Loye - Columbus IN, US
Russ P. Durrett - Columbus IN, US
Patrick F. Flynn - Columbus IN, US
Gary L. Hunter - Columbus IN, US
Greg A. Moore - Grammer IN, US
Jackie M. Mudd - Columbus IN, US
George G. Muntean - Columbus IN, US
Julie A. Wagner - Columbus IN, US
John F. Wright - Columbus IN, US
Assignee:
Cummins Inc. - Columbus IN
International Classification:
F02M043/00
US Classification:
123304, 123431, 123434
Abstract:
A premixed charge compression ignition engine, and a control system, is provided which effectively initiates combustion by compression ignition and maintains stable combustion while achieving extremely low nitrous oxide emissions, good overall efficiency and acceptable combustion noise and cylinder pressures. The present engine and control system effectively controls the combustion history, that is, the time at which combustion occurs, the rate of combustion, the duration of combustion and/or the completeness of combustion, by controlling the operation of certain control variables providing temperature control, pressure control, control of the mixture's autoignition properties and equivalence ratio control. The combustion control system provides active feedback control of the combustion event and includes a sensor, e. g. pressure sensor, for detecting an engine operating condition indicative of the combustion history, e. g.

International Classification:

F02M007/00
US Classification:
123/435000

The combustion control system provides active feedback control of the combustion event and includes a sensor, e.g. pressure sensor, for detecting an engine operating condition indicative of the combustion history, e.g. the start of combustion, and generating an associated engine operating condition signal. A processor receives the signal and generates control signals based on the engine operating condition signal for controlling various engine components to control the temperature, pressure, equivalence ratio and/or autoignition properties so as to variably control the combustion history of future combustion events to achieve stable, low emission combustion in each cylinder and combustion balancing between the cylinders.

Unit Fuel Injector With Plunger Minor Diameter Floating Sleeve

View page
US Patent:
50407279, Aug 20, 1991
Filed:
Jul 19, 1990
Appl. No.:
7/554465
Inventors:
George L. Muntean - Columbus IN
Gary L. Gant - Columbus IN
C. Edward Morris - Columbus IN
David Bolis - Nashville IN
Kevin L. Vogt - Columbus IN
David E. Shultz - Columbus IN
Assignee:
Cummins Engine Company, Inc. - Columbus IN
International Classification:
B05B 900
F02M 4500
US Classification:
239 91
Abstract:
A unit fuel injector is disclosed to be used in a fuel injection system of an internal combustion engine wherein each unit injector is operated independently from one another and in synchronization with the internal combustion engine. Specifically, the unit injector in accordance with the present invention includes a reciprocating plunger assembly within the unit injector that controls fuel metering as well as fuel injection, and a valve device positioned between a minor diameter plunger section and a cup of the unit injector so as to permit fuel flow in one direction for fuel injection and to restrict flow of gases in the opposite direction. The valve device effectively reduces carbon build-up on the injector surfaces and increases injector longevity while reducing maintenance. Moreover, fuel metering is accurately controlled without substantial carboning flow losses.
