Abstract:
A pre-chamber ignition system has the potential to reduce the burn duration of lean-burn gasoline engine combustion and can achieve a reduced knock occurrence from the distributed ignition sources. Pre-chamber ignition produces high-velocity turbulent jets, and these jets often reach sonic velocity and produce shock waves inside the combustion chamber. These shock waves make knock detection difficult with a conventional surface-mounted acoustic knock sensor. This article discusses how an acoustic knock sensor works with a pre-chamber ignition and evaluates different cylinder pressure-based knock detection strategies and proposes a method that eliminates the influence of jet-induced oscillations on knock detection.
