 INTRODUCTION

Spark ignition gasoline engine efficiency is limited by a number of

factors; these include the pumping losses that result from throttling for
load control, spark ignition and the slow burn rates that result in poor
combustion phasing and a compression ratio limited by detonation of fuel.
A new combustion process has been developed based on the patented
concept of injection-ignition known as Transonic Combustion or TSCi;
this combustion process is based on the direct injection of fuel into the
cylinder as a supercritical fluid. Supercritical fuel achieves rapid mixing
with the contents of the cylinder and after a short delay period
spontaneous ignition occurs at multiple locations. Multiple ignition sites
and rapid combustion combine to result in high rates of heat release and
high cycle efficiency.
INJECTOR-IGNITION SYSTEM
 TRANSONIC COMBUSTION

Supercritical fuel injection system

Combination of Injection and Ignition process
Short delay period
Independent of air-fuel ratio
Double efficiency compared to current gasoline engines
Rapid air-fuel mixing and fast combustion
Injection of fuel is delayed and takes place after TDC
 SUPERCRITICAL FLUID

Substance at a temperature & pressure above its critical

point
Have properties between those of a liquid and gas
It has no surface tension
Small changes in temperature & pressure results in large
changes in density

 ECU

The quantity of fuel injected into

each cylinder per engine cycle
Variable cam timing (VCT)
Monitors air conditioning
The ECU controls other
parameters by monitoring the
engine through sensors including
throttle position sensors, air
temperature sensors, engine
coolant temperature sensors and
other sensors
 HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP

An electric fuel pump

It has high safety
The ECU communicates to the
fuel pump for a precise fuel
mixture and amount of fuel in
the tank
 FUEL CONDITIONING MODULE

Technology based on the discovery that high powered magnets placed in

a particular pattern on fuel feed lines cause the fuel to burn at a
higher temperature and more efficiently
 HEAT EXCHANGER

Equipment built for efficient heat transfer from one medium to another
Uses heat from exhaust gases to heat the fuel. Generally tubular heat
exchanger is used
 FUEL INJECTOR

When signalled by the ECU the fuel injector opens and sprays the
pressurised supercritical fuel into the engine
The duration that the injector is open (called the pulse width) is
proportional to the amount of fuel delivered
The fuel injector is mounted in the center of the cylinder head of the combustion
chamber
 ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES

ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES

Improved fuel efficiency Might be Costly

Perfect combustion of fuel Need regular maintenance
About 50 % increase in If ECU goes wrong somehow
efficiency efficiency affects
Pollution is reduced to a greater
extent because of perfect
combustion
Engine life is increased
 CONCLUSION

By eliminating the ignition system and introducing a completely

redesigned fuel injection system, TSCi (Injector-Ignition) realize a 50%
increase in efficiency
With the influence of supercritical fluid enhances a complete
combustion and there by increases engine efficiency and reduces the
emissions
When tested under lab conditions the losses associated with these IC
engines were drastically reduced
The transonic combustion engine technology would improve fuel
economy by far and also reduce exhaust emission
