Performance optimization of a spark-ignition turbocharged VVA engine under knock limited operation

  • De Bellis, Vincenzo

Abstract

Various solutions are being proposed to improve the performance of spark-ignition internal combustion engines. A very effective approach is the downsizing technique, which allows the reducing of the Brake Specific Fuel Consumption (BSFC) at part load, while maintaining the required performance at high load. On the other hand, the above technique may cause substantial BSFC detrainments at high load because of the onset of knocking combustions.
