Title: Direct fuel injection: An opportunity for two-stroke SI engines in road vehicle use

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5731391

Following the state of the art analysis of typical applications of two-stroke SI engines in road vehicles, new solutions for this type of engine are examined. The two-stroke engine appears as an extremely attractive one during part-throttle operations especially from the point of view of fuel consumption, when the problems caused by fresh mixture short-circuiting are overcome. This fact is well confirmed by the renewed interest in the two-stroke cycle SI Engine. A new solution, with direct fuel injection and separate scavenging pump, that show very low fuel consumption data down to very low B.M.E.P. levels while maintining a high specific power output and acceptable HC emissions, is then presented.
