IAPAC compressed air assisted fuel injection for high efficiency low emissions marine outboard engines

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The implementation of the IFP-developped Compressed Air Assisted Fuel Injection process (named IAPAC) on a two-stroke engine allows the introduction of the fuel separately from the scavenging air in order to minimize fuel short-circuiting. The IAPAC process does not require an external air pump since the compressed air used to atomize the fuel is supplied, at no expense, by the crankcase. The premixed charge is delivered directly into the cylinder with a high spray quality and its stratification, for optimized combustion, is controlled by a valve. This process, therefore, provides the advantages of the direct injection but uses conventional low-pressure automotive type injection technology with commercially available gasoline injectors. In earlier work we showed how the qualities of light weight, compactness, high specific power, high efficiency and low emissions make this concept particularly well-adapted for future …
