INLET ARRANGEMENT FOR AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

摘要

The inlet arrangement comprises two inlet ports for a fuel and air mixture each of which terminates at an orifice openable and closeable by a respective valve. Each inlet port is of a high flow/low swirl type and a mixture of fuel and air which flows through the orifice can be deflected to enable the inlet port to perform as a low flow/high swirl at smaller throttle openings. In one embodiment, flow of mixture through the inlet port can be deflected at low throttle openings by a transverse flow of gas from inlet ducts. In other embodiments, the direction of mixture flow can be varied by members movable into and out of the mixture flow.
