Abstract
A fuel injection system for a multiple cylinder engine having plural cylinders communicating with the same exhaust pipe so that exhaust pulses from one cylinder will be reflected back to the exhaust ports of other cylinders of the same bank. In accordance with the invention, the timing and duration of fuel injection to the cylinders is varied so as to compensate for the effects of the reflected exhaust gas pulses so as to provide substantially equal emission control and power from all cylinders.
Claims24
A fuel injection system for an internal combustion engine having at least two cylinders, exhaust port means for discharging exhaust gases from each of said cylinders, an exhaust pipe having a pair of inlet ends each communicating with a respective one of said exhaust port means and a common outlet end for discharging the exhaust gases to the atmosphere so that exhaust pulses from one of said cylinders may generate an exhaust pulse back to the exhaust port of the other cylinder, a pair of fuel injectors each supplying fuel to a respective one of said cylinders, and means for controlling the operation of said fuel injectors to provide a difference in the fuel injection to each cylinder from the other for compensating for the transmission of exhaust pulses.
A method for controlling a fuel injection system for an internal combustion engine having at least two cylinders, exhaust port means for delivering exhaust gases from each of the cylinders, an exhaust pipe having a pair of inlet ends each communicating with a respective of the exhaust port means and a common outlet means so that exhaust pulses from one cylinder may generate an exhaust pulse back to the exhaust port of the other cylinder, and a pair of fuel injectors each supplying fuel to a respective cylinder of the engine, said method comprising the steps of controlling the operations of the fuel injection to provide a difference in the fuel injection to one cylinder from the other to compensate for the effect of exhaust gas pulses.
A method as set forth in 13 wherein the beginning of injection for one cylinder is varied in relation to the other.
