METHOD FOR ADJUSTING THE COMBUSTION PROCEDURE IN A FOREIGN-IGNITION ENGINE AND FOREIGN-IGNITION ENGINE

摘要

Method and apparatus for controlling the combustion process of an internal combustion engine having at least one cylinder and an ignition device for initiating ignition of a combustible charge, whereby: (1) the moment of ignition of the charge at a position F in the combustion chamber is sensed, the position F being spaced from the ignition device so that the flame front of the flame initiated by the ignition device can only arrive at the position F after a predominant portion of the charge has been burnt; (2) at least the direction of a deviation of the piston moving within the cylinder from a selected piston position K is sensed at the moment of ignition at the position F; and (3) the ignition timing and/or composition of the charge is automatically regulated in accordance with at least the sensed piston deviation to achieve approximate F-K coincidence.
