Incylinder direct injection spark ignition engine

摘要

A direct fuel injection engine includes a fuel injector so positioned and oriented as to produce a fuel spray whose upper segment reaches the vicinity of a spark plug by a penetrating force of the fuel spray in a low engine speed light load operating region to achieve stratified charge combustion without the aid of tumble. A tumble control valve is operated to strengthen the tumble in a combustion chamber to achieve stratified charge combustion with the aid of tumble in an engine operating region higher in engine speed and/or engine load.
