Combustion chamber for internal combustion engines
A combustion chamber is described for an internal combustion engine, comprising: a main combustion chamber defined by a recess in the top of a piston of the engine, the main combustion chamber being formed with its opening diameter progressively enlarged downwards in the axial direction of the main combustion chamber, and a lip part formed along the periphery of the opening of the main combustion chamber, the lip part protruding radially and inwardly; a swirl chamber formed inside a cylinder head of the engine; a passage for connecting the main combustion chamber with the swirl chamber, the passage being defined in the cylinder head and having a wall portion tangentially aligned with a portion of the wall of the swirl chamber corresponding to the upstream end of the swirl chamber such that the compressed air introduced into the swirl chamber is substantially directed along the wall of the swirl chamber to swirl therein, the passage having a longitudinal axis generally directed to the central portion of the main combustion chamber; and a fuel injection nozzle means for supplying fuel mist into the swirl chamber through the passage as well as into the main combustion chamber, the fuel injection nozzle means directing fuel mist into the swirl chamber substantially parallel to the tangential wall portion such that the fuel mist is carried by the compressed air directed along the tangential wall and revolved with the swirl chamber.
