## Abstract

In a method for a diesel-gasoline dual fuel premixed charge compression ignition combustion system based on diesel compression ignition triggered ignition control of the present invention, air (+EGR gas) and a gasoline fuel supplied in a premixed charge intake stroke create a premixed surroundings, a diesel fuel injected in at least two classified steps in a succeeding compression ignition stroke creates a compression ignition combustion surroundings for a diesel and serves as an ignition trigger to produce flames, and the gasoline fuel injected in the premixed charge intake stroke and having created the premixed surroundings is burned in a succeeding combustion expansion stroke to generate power. Accordingly, a practical diesel-gasoline dual fuel powered engine solving both unstable combustion due to difficulty in control of ignition times and combustion and knockings restricting power performance can be realized.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A diesel-gasoline dual fuel premixed charge compression ignition combustion system based on diesel compression ignition triggered ignition control, comprising:
a high compression ratio combustion chamber having a compression ratio between a gasoline compression ratio and a diesel compression ratio and formed between a cylinder block and a cylinder head located on a top thereof to form a stroke cycle corresponding to reciprocal movement of a piston;
a gasoline injector for injecting a gasoline fuel so that the gasoline fuel creates a premixed surrounding together with air and EGR gas supplied in a premixed charge intake stroke of the combustion chamber; and
a droplet diesel injector for injecting a diesel fuel so that diesel droplets are formed in a succeeding compression ignition stroke of the combustion chamber, or an ignition diesel injector for forming diesel flames to be served as an ignition trigger immediately after the injection of the fuel of the droplet diesel injector.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The system as defined in claim 1, further comprising:
an EGR system equipped with a turbo charger to supply an EGR gas together with air,
wherein the droplet diesel injector and the ignition diesel injector further include a diesel fuel supply system for supplying a diesel fuel.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The system as defined in claim 1, wherein the droplet diesel injector and the ignition diesel injector are realized by a single diesel injector so as to be controlled at different injection timings or one injection timing.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The system as defined in claim 1, wherein the high compression ratio combustion chamber is shaped like a diesel combustion chamber and maintains a compression ratio higher than that of a gasoline combustion chamber and maintains a compression ratio lower than that of a diesel combustion chamber.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The system as defined in claim 1, wherein the combustion chamber surroundings due to the diesel droplets is created such that an ignition source is spatially uniformly distributed in the combustion chamber and accordingly propagation distances of gasoline flames are shortened relatively.

### Claim 6

A method for a diesel-gasoline dual fuel premixed charge compression ignition combustion system based on diesel compression ignition triggered ignition control, comprising a stroke cycle including:
a premixed charge intake stroke completed at an intake stroke completing time point after a premixed surroundings of a combustion chamber for premixed charge compression ignition is started by supplying a gasoline fuel mixed with air and EGR gas into the combustion chamber at the premixed charge intake stroke starting time point;
a compression ignition stroke starting at the premixed charge intake stroke completing time point, where after a diesel fuel is injected into the combustion chamber until a time point before compression ignition, or diesel fuel is injected once again into the combustion chamber at a compression ignition time point;
a combustion expansion stroke where the gasoline fuel injected into the combustion chamber is ignited by the another injection of the diesel fuel and flames of the gasoline fuel propagate into a space of the combustion chamber; and
an exhaust stroke returning to the premixed charge intake stroke, where combustion gas generated after the gasoline fuel is burned is discharged to the outside.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The method as defined in claim 6, wherein in the premixed charge intake stroke, an EGR gas is supplied together with the air and the gasoline fuel and the gasoline fuel is mixed in a mixed state of the air and the EGR gas.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The method as defined in claim 7, wherein the injection of the gasoline fuel in the premixed charge intake stroke is performed outside a cylinder head port by a gasoline injector.

### Claim 9 (depends on 6)

The method as defined in claim 6, wherein the injection of the diesel fuel forms diesel droplets such that an ignition source is spatially uniformly distributed in the combustion chamber and propagation distances of gasoline flames are shortened relatively, whereas the another injection of the diesel fuel serves as an ignition trigger creating flames in the combustion chamber to form a combustion time point.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The method as defined in claim 9, wherein the injection of the diesel fuel is performed by directly injecting the diesel fuel into the combustion chamber using a droplet diesel injector or the another injection of the diesel fuel is performed by directly injecting a diesel fuel into the combustion chamber using an ignition diesel injector.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The method as defined in claim 10, wherein the droplet diesel injector and the ignition diesel injector are realized by a single diesel injector so as to be controlled at different injection timings or one injection timing.
