Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A compression-ignition, opposed-piston engine using a low reactivity fuel as an ignition medium manages trapped temperature and trapped combustion residue within, and fuel injection into, the combustion chambers of the engine, and controls the compression ratio of the engine in order to realize reductions in emissions as well as improved fuel consumption efficiencies.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A two-stroke cycle, compression-ignition, opposed-piston engine including at least one cylinder ( 50 ) with longitudinally-separated exhaust ( 54 ) and intake ( 56 ) ports, a pair of pistons ( 60 , 62 ) disposed in opposition to one another in a bore ( 52 ) of the cylinder and a fuel injection system for injecting fuel into a combustion chamber formed in the bore between the end surfaces of the pistons during a compression stroke of the engine, charact…
