Two-cycle internal combustion engine with reduced unburned hydrocarbons in the exhaust gas and adjustable spark gap electrodes

摘要

A two-cycle internal combustion engine configuration and control strategy in which the unburned hydrocarbon emissions are measured in the exhaust manifold during the scavenging process using a fast response air fuel sensor. The signal from the sensor is used to control the operation of a low pressure ratio blower and the inlet fuel and oil flow. In this way the inlet flow of fuel and air may be reduced which controls the short circuiting loss of fuel during the scavenging process and reduces unburned hydrocarbons in the exhaust gas.
