Direct injection spark-ignition engines are becoming increasingly important, and their potential is still to be fully exploited. Increased power and torque coupled with further reductions in fuel consumption and emissions will be the clear trend for future developments. From today's perspective, the key technologies driving this development will be new fuel injection and combustion processes. The book presents the latest developments, illustrates and evaluates engine concepts such as downsizing and describes the requirements that have to be met by materials and operating fluids. The outlook at the end of the book discusses whether future spark-ignition engines will achieve the same level as diesel engines.
List of contents
History of mixture formation and direct injection - Combustion processes - Fuel injection systems - Power and torque - Fuel consumption - Emissions - Supercharging - Downsizing - Noise emission - Engine concepts - Operating fluids - Outlook
