A novel algorithm-based approach is employed in this publication to calculate multiple direct injection patterns for spark ignition engines. The algorithm is verified by investigating the combustion and emission behavior of a single-cylinder research engine. State-of-the-art standard exhaust gas analyzers, a particle counter and an additional FTIR analyzer enable in-depth investigation of engine exhaust gas composition. With the upcoming worldwide pollutant emission targets, the emission limits will be reduced while the test procedures’ requirements to the engine increase. Special attention to the engine-out emissions must be paid during cold-start, during which the aftertreatment system lacks sufficient pollutant emission conversion efficiency. With advanced injection control, the engine-out emissions can be reduced and exhaust aftertreatment heat-up can be accelerated.
