Exhaust gas recirculation for three-valve engine

摘要

A three-valve stratified-charge internal combustion piston engine has an auxiliary combustion chamber connected to each main combustion chamber through a torch nozzle. A rich mixture is supplied to the auxiliary chamber and a lean mixture is supplied to the main chamber. A portion of the exhaust gases from the main chamber is recirculated through a control valve to mix with the rich mixture supplied to the auxiliary chamber. For loaded conditions of the engine, additional exhaust gases from the main chamber are recirculated through a control valve to mix with the lean mixture supplied to the main chamber. The control valves are automatically operated by means responsive to engine operating conditions.
