Summary:

During engine idling, the low engine speed, typically from 600 rpm to 800 rpm, together with the low throttle opening angle, makes it challenging for a proper fuel air mixing process. The uneven intake charge distribution and high portion of internal EGR because of the inefficient gas exchange process further make the air fuel ratio unstable, which is challenging for a robust ignition and combustion process. In this paper, the challenge of achieving proper combustion phasing while maintaining acceptable combustion stability is investigated, and a specially designed common-coil pack was utilized to improve engine idling performance by supplying prolonged ignition duration and elevated discharge current amplitude. The common-coil pack, which comprises three parallel connected ignition coils, was shared by all 4 cylinders of the engine. The ignition strategy shows the capability to advance the combustion phasing for higher IMEP output, while maintaining the combustion stability, and reduce engine out emissions
