Abstract

Abstract For a combustion procedure for internal combustion engines, in which a fuair mixture with back-fed exhaust gas is introduced into a combustion chamber, a highly-combustible fuel-air mixture without back-fed exhaust gas in introduced into at least one precombustion chamber, which is connected by means of at least one opening with the combustion chamber.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 147 words
A combustion process for an internal combustion engine having a main combustion chamber and at least one precombustion chamber connected with said combustion chamber by at least one opening, introducing a well ignitable fuel air mixture into said precombustion chamber, introducing, independently of the first-mentioned introducing step, fuel, air and recirculated exhaust gas directly into said main combustion chamber for producing an admixture therein, and igniting said admixture, providing a 3-way catalyst connected to the flow of exhaust gas from said combustion chamber, and measuring the oxygen content of the exhaust gas entering said catalyst for regulating the ratio of fuel and air entering said combustion and pre-combustion chambers in a nearly stoichiometric range, comprising the further step of supercharging, said supercharging being carried out by providing two separate exhaust gas turbo-superchargers and directing two partial flows of exhaust gas from said combustion chamber through said superchargers.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 147 words
A combustion process for an internal combustion engine having a main combustion chamber and at least one precombustion chamber connected with said combustion chamber by at least one opening, introducing a well ignitable fuel air mixture into said precombustion chamber, introducing, independently of the first-mentioned introducing step, fuel, air and recirculated exhaust gas directly into said main combustion chamber for producing an admixture therein, and igniting said admixture, providing a 3-way catalyst connected to the flow of exhaust gas from said combustion chamber, and measuring the oxygen content of the exhaust gas entering said catalyst for regulating the ratio of fuel and air entering said combustion and pre-combustion chambers in a nearly stoichiometric range, comprising the further step of supercharging, said supercharging being carried out by providing two separate exhaust gas turbo-superchargers and directing two partial flows of exhaust gas from said combustion chamber through said superchargers.
