20130037002 | In-cylinder emission cleaning by cams with auxiliary-lobes - Disclosed is an internal combustion engine gas cycle modification process, comprising venting, which allows for some automatic gas transfer from intake to exhaust or vice versa, through the cylinder, in the compression or expansion strokes, by a second or third opening of either the intake or the exhaust valves, which is done by using a second or third auxiliary lobe on the intake or the exhaust cams, which however are much smaller than the normal lobes. Seven gas cycle modifications are explained and compared, each of which reduces NOx by 300-9,000× and cleans emission in the cylinder. On the same fuel consumption, all these modified gas cycles preserve torque and power. One however, increases high engine speed power and torque by over 70%. That may be exchanged for fuel savings. Double and triple lobe cams made the same way and cost the same as single lobe cams. It substitutes after-treatments. | 02-14-2013 |
