Ultra Fast Burn

NEW Homogeneous Thermal Charge Spark Ignition (HTCSI) combustion produces more power, fuel economy and cleaner burn by increasing the speed, pressure and temperature of combustion


HTCSI combustion

HTCSI combustion is a more efficient combustion process that has a lot more advantages than the outdated HCCI combustion. For more details see HTCSI combustion compared to HCCI combustion
 
 

Produced by a combination of new processes

•  NPS - Negative Pressure
    Supercharging
•  HPDT - High Pressure Differential
    Turbulence
•  HAI - Hot Air Induction

 
 
 

Produces a much faster burn and a lot more combustion pressure earlier After Top Centre than typical spark ignition combustion.

 
 
 

Controlled by a unique combination of mechanically simple parts and systems

•  Special ignition timing with less
    advance
•  Cold cooling system
•  Cold spark plugs
•  Low compression
•  Open chamber heads

 
 
 

•  Uses the above combination of
    mechanically simple parts and
    systems to allow the faster and
    hotter burn of HTCSI combustion to
    produce more power and prevent
    pre-ignition (pinging)

•  Can be easily applied to all
    engines...
    •  old or new
    •  mechanically simple or complex
    •  carbureted or fuel injected

•  Does NOT need computers or
    mechanically complex parts but
    they may be used to enhance
    HTCSI combustion

NPS ? Negative Pressure Supercharging
Substantially reduces the pressure (increases vacuum) in the cylinder which produces a much greater pressure difference between atmospheric and cylinder pressure. As a result this,
1) Pulls a larger volume of air into the engine.
2) Increases the air velocity of the intake charge.
3) Produces high pressure differential turbulence.


HPDT ? High Pressure Differential Turbulence
Produces violent air turbulence with NO restriction to air flow. As a result this completely mixes the air fuel mixture together to produce a more uniform homogeneous intake charge than direct injection, high swirl intake ports, close chamber heads and higher compression.


HAI ? Hot Air Induction
1) Increases the air induction temperature to just BEFORE the point of self ignition.
2) Increases the speed and pressure of combustion.
3) Vapourises the fuel into a gas which uses less fuel and burns much cleaner.
4) Produces more power than cold air induction. This is because, A) the increase in power produced by the faster burn and higher combustion pressure of the hot intake charge is much greater than the loss produced by less dense hot air and B) the combination of parts and systems shown below allow the hot intake charge to produce more power and prevent pre-ignition (pinging). For more details see Hot Air Induction

HTCSI combustion is controlled by a unique combination of mechanically simple parts and systems to allow the faster and hotter burn of HTCSI combustion to produce more power and prevent pre-ignition (pinging)

Special ignition timing with less advance
Special ignition timing with 12° less advance allows the faster burn of the hot intake charge to increase combustion pressure (torque) and prevent pre-ignition (pinging). For more details see Ignition Timing


Cold cooling system
Cold water with 43-50°C (110-122°F) temperature prevents the hotter combustion produced by the hot intake charge from exceeding the optimum temperature and igniting prematurely. NOTE: The engine runs HOT with cold water and HTCSI combustion. ONLY the water passages run cooler. For more details see Cold Cooling System


Cold spark plugs
  Cold spark plugs with 5 steps colder operating temperature prevent the faster burn of the hot intake charge from igniting prematurely. For more details see Cold Spark Plugs


Low compression and Open chamber heads
Low 8.0 - 8.5:1 compression and open chamber heads prevent the hot intake charge from igniting prematurely during compression.

Systems considered as high performance in modern engines with slow burn combustion reduce power and produce pre-ignition (pinging) with the faster and hotter burn of HTCSI combustion
 Ignition timing with more advance
 Cold air induction
 Hot cooling system
 Hot spark plugs
 High compression
 Close chamber heads

HTCSI combustion makes the engine run cooler and converts more thermal energy into mechanical power

Both slow burn (cold air) and fast burn (hot air) produce tremendous heat during combustion.

However,

Slow burn (cold air) produces less heat for a longer period of time which...
Transfers MORE heat into the cooling system which makes the engine run HOTTER
Converts LESS combustion heat into mechanical power
Allows the valves to run HOTTER which can damage the exhaust valve and seat

Whereas,

Fast burn (hot air) produces more heat for a shorter period of time which...
Transfers LESS heat into the cooling system which makes the engine run COOLER
Converts MORE combustion heat into mechanical power
Allows the valves to run COOLER and prevents the exhaust valve and seat from burning

However, fast burn (hot air) must be used with cold water to...
Help keep the valves cooler by absorbing more heat from the valve while the valve is closed than does hot water
Maintain the optimum hotter combustion temperature
Prevent pre-ignition (pinging)

HTCSI combustion produces a constant hot temperature from part to full throttle which...
Reduces toxic emissions
Eliminates the need for emission controls
Protects the spark plugs from rapid erosion
Allows the use of low cost spark plugs
Allows engines to be mechanically simple which substantially reduce the cost of vehicles

Conventional combustion used by today's wonder engines substantially increases combustion temperature from part to full throttle which...
Increases toxic emissions
Requires using emission controls
Rapidly erodes the spark plugs
Requires using expensive spark plugs
Requires engines to be more mechanically complex in order to reduce emissions which substantially increase the cost of vehicles. Unfortunately this trend will continue until carmakers realise they can now make engines mechanically simple and run cleaner with HTCSI combustion

NOTE
The increase in combustion temperature produced by today's wonder engines during the transition from part to full throttle is colder than the hotter combustion produced by HTCSI combustion.

HTCSI combustion enhances Negative Pressure Supercharging
The hotter combustion produced by HTCSI combustion increases the temperature of the exhaust gas which further increases the high gas velocity produced by the Negative Pressure Supercharging header. This further reduces the pressure (increases vacuum) in the cylinder at the end of the exhaust stroke which pulls even more air into the engine. For more details see Exhaust Headers
