FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE
The present disclosure generally relates to systems and methods used for power generation.
Particularly, the present disclosure relates to an internal combustion engine.
BACKGROUND
Generally, power output and exhaust emission of a diesel engine are improved by obliquely directing fuel jets to the respective inside walls of a quadrangular cavity formed in a piston crown, and further fuel impingement points at the respective side walls of the cavity, fuel impingement angles, and fuel travel distances from nozzle orifices to cavity walls are extremely important factors in improving engine output and exhaust emissions. However, an intake valve and an exhaust valve must be enlarged to obtain high intake and exhaust efficiency, whereby such cavity must be offset from the center of a piston in view of air turbulence effects.
However, if intake and exhaust valves are enlarged, it becomes impossible to position an injection nozzle at the center of a piston. A nozzle must therefore be slightly offset from the center of an offset cavity in order to obtain enough space to mount the nozzle. Such nozzle arrangement results in unequal fuel impingement lengths and different air spaces between adjacent jets and fuel distribution and non-uniformity of the air-fuel mixture results in poorer combustion characteristics.
One prior art patent document trying to obviate the above-mentioned problem is as follows:

US patent US4108116 discloses a quadrangular combustion cavity in the crown of a diesel engine piston, which is offset from the center thereof, and the position of a fuel injector nozzle also offset relative to the center of the cavity to accommodate enlarged intake and exhaust valves. The rotational orientation of the nozzle and the cavity are geometrically determined such that the two longest and the two shortest fuel jet distances are equal in length, a line connecting the geometric center of the cavity and the center of the nozzle bisects the angles between the two longest and the two shortest fuel jet directions, and the difference between the lengths of the longest and shortest fuel jet distances is minimized. The distances from the four fuel impingement points on the side walls of the cavity to the respective corners of the cavity are equal. This arrangement stated to optimize the fuel distribution and combustion characteristics, given the structural necessity of offsetting both the cavity and the injector nozzle. This offset in between combustion cavity of piston and nozzle tip leads to an improper utilization of air available in the combustion cavity.
Further, the fuel injection nozzle is arranged at the center of the cavity formed in the top surface of the piston in order to radially inject fuel sprays from its multiple injection ports. A swirling flow generated by the port of an intake valve during the suction stroke of the engine exists till the end of the compression stroke^ which forms the mixture spraying fuel in the swirling direction in the cavity. The diameters of cavities in common use are within a range of 40 to 70% of that of the piston. The fuel sprays injected radially from the plural injection ports of the fuel injection nozzle collide upon the inner wall surface of the cavity such that they either stick as a liquid film to the wall surface or reside on it as coarse droplets, reducing the effective mixture quality.

This phenomenon results in failure of effective combustion and thus reduces the output power, lowers fuel economy, generates more smoke, and increases the hydrocarbons present in the exhaust gases- harmful to the environment due to greenhouse effect.
The swirling motion of the air and uneven orientation of fuel spray leads to the spray mixing and the interface between the fuel and the air is decelerated and the atomization performance is disturbed. In order to prevent the fuel from impinging upon the cavity wall surface, the injection ports of the fuel injection nozzle have their size reduced but their number is increased.
However, the two valves per cylinder configuration forces the fuel injector to be mounted in an inclined position, because of this the nozzle spray holes lies in different planes. This also leads to the unequal spray length of fuel spray. The unequal spray length and multi-plane nozzle holes orientation leads to different heating zones in the combustion cavity and thus leads to an improper vaporization of fuel.
The unequal length of fuel spray and orientation of nozzle holes in different plane leads to the phenomenon of improper mixing of fuel droplets and Oxygen molecule. The improper mixing of fuel air mixture and deficiency in atomization and vaporization of mixture and insufficient spray mixing leads to an incomplete combustion of this fuel-air mixture, thereby reducing the thermal efficiency of such engines. This also increases the time and cost of production of such engines. The reduction of combustion efficiencies of engine due to improper oxidant and fuel molecule mixing is a cause of great concern for increasing the power output and reducing harmful emissions, such as - smoke, Oxides of Nitrogen, Hydrocarbon and Carbon Dioxide, from such Air-Cooled

compression ignition internal combustion engines, particularly in the light of stricter environmental norms to safeguard against the greenhouse effects.
Generally, the four stroke Diesel Air Cooled internal combustion engine (hereafter referred as an IC engine) includes:
1. Cylinder Liner: It fits into the crankcase, in which piston reciprocates to develop power.
2. Cylinder Head: The cylinder head closes one end of cylinder. It houses the inlet and exhaust valves and intake and exhaust port through which the air is taken inside the cylinder and burned gases are exhausted to the atmosphere from cylinder. A gasket is provided in-between the cylinder and cylinder head to obtain a leak proof joint.
3. Piston and Piston Rings: The function of piston is to compress the air during compression stroke and to transmit the gas force generated during the combustion of air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber to the connecting rod and to crank shaft, and thus converting the reciprocating motion of the piston into a rotary motion of the crankshaft. Piston rings give gastight sealing between piston and cylinder liner and prevent leakage of high-pressure gases. It also controls the lubricating oil flow to combustion chamber.
4. Connecting Rod: Small end of connecting rod forms a hinge and pin joint with the piston and its big end is connected to the crank by crank pin. It has a passage for the transfer of lubricating oil from the big end bearing to small end bearing.

5. Crankshaft The crankshaft is the backbone of the engine. Crankshaft is supported in main bearing and has a heavy flywheel to smooth out the fluctuations of torque.
6. Piston Pin: Piston pin provides the bearing for oscillating small end of the connecting rod.
7. Inlet Valve: This valve controls the admission of air into diesel engine during suction stroke of the engine.
8. Exhaust Valve: The removal of exhaust gases after doing work on piston is controlled by this valve.
9. Valve Spring: The valves are kept closed by valve spring.
10. Inlet Manifold: It is the passage, which carries the air to engine.
11. Exhaust Manifold: It is the passage, which carries the exhaust gases from exhaust valve to the atmosphere.
12. Camshaft: The function of camshaft is to operate the intake and exhaust valves through cams. Cam followers push rods and rocker arms. The camshaft is driven positively from crankshaft at half the speed of crankshaft.
13. Cam and Cam Follower: It is made of a required profile to give desired motion to the valve through the follower.

14. Push rod and Rocker Arm: The motion of cam is transmitted to valve to the push rod and rocker arm through the cam followers.
15. Crankcase: It is the base, which holds the cylinder and crankshaft.
16. Cooling Blower: The cooling blower is used for cooling engine.
17. Flywheel: It is wheel mounted on crankshaft, which stores excess energy
during the power stroke and maintains a fairly constant output torque on
the crankshaft.
18. Governor: It is run by a drive from the crankshaft. The function of the
governor is to regulate amount of fuel to be supplied to maintain speed of
engine constant when the load requirement varies.
19. Fuel Pump: It forces the fuel oil at high pressure through fuel nozzle
into the cylinder at the end of compression stroke in diesel engine.
20. Fuel Nozzle: The function of fuel nozzle is to break up the fuel into fine
spray as it enters the cylinder of diesel engine.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE ACCOMPANYING DRAWINGS
The internal combustion engine of the present disclosure will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings which do not limit the scope and ambit of the disclosure. The description provided is purely by way of example and illustration.
The embodiments herein and the various features and advantageous details thereof are explained with reference to the non-limiting embodiments in the following description.

Referring to Figures 1 to 3, 6a and 6b, a prior art four-stroke compression ignition internal combustion engine 10 with two valves per cylinder is disclosed. The prior art internal combustion engine 10 includes an injector 12 (shown in Figure 6b) that is in inclined position and inclination is of 25 degrees to vertical. As the injector 12 has inclined configuration, the sprays/ orifices configured on the injector 12 are spaced at angles (shown in Figures 2 and 6a) to avoid possible overlap of injector thus resulted into the spacing of spray in different planes.
Referring to Figure 1, a piston cavity 14 of a piston of the internal combustion engine 10 is offset with respect to a cylinder bore centerline 16 by a distance of about 5 mm.
Although, the prior art internal combustion engines, such as the four-stroke compression ignition internal combustion engine 10 is useful for generation of power, the prior art internal combustion engines has numerous limitations. For example, the prior art internal combustion engines generate comparatively less power. Further, the prior art internal combustion engines consume comparatively more fuel. Furthermore, the prior art internal combustion engines cause comparatively more environmental pollution.
Referring to Figures 4, 5 and 7a to 12, to alleviate the limitations of the prior art internal combustion engines, an internal combustion engine 100 of the present disclosure is disclosed. The internal combustion engine 100 includes a cylinder 102, a piston (not shown) and at least one fuel injector 104 (illustrated in Figure

7b). The cylinder 102 has a cylinder head and a cylinder bore. The cylinder bore has a cylinder bore centerline 106. The piston has a piston cavity 108 offset with respect to the cylinder bore centerline 106. In one embodiment, the piston cavity 108 is offset with respect to the cylinder bore centerline 106 by a distance of about 8mm.
The at least one fuel injector 104 is adapted to be disposed in the cylinder head. The at least one fuel injector 104 is disposed parallel to the cylinder bore centerline 106. The at least one fuel injector 104 has a plurality of orifices configured thereon at equal angles with respect to each other in a single plane (illustrated in Figures 5 and 7a). In one embodiment, the cylinder head is adapted to accommodate the injector 104 having a diameter of 17.1mm. However, the present invention is not limited to any particular dimension of the injector 104. In one embodiment, the plurality of orifices is five. Still further, in another embodiment, the plurality of orifices may be configured at 72° apart with respect to each other. In one embodiment, the at least one fuel injector 104 makes substantially 0 degree inclination with a vertical axis. Also, in one embodiment, the at least one fuel injector 104 and the cylinder bore centerline 106 are disposed operatively along a vertical axis. Such arrangement of the fuel injector 104 permits direct cooling of the injector 104 by air. Also, such arrangement of the fuel injector 104 facilitates in maintaining the lower temperature of liquid Diesel flowing through the injector 104. Additionally, such arrangement provides better cooling of the injector 104 and improves the life of injector and performance of the engine.
Further, in one embodiment, the internal combustion engine 100 includes a pair of valves disposed on the cylinder, wherein the pair of valves includes an inlet valve and an exhaust valve. Furthermore, the internal combustion engine may

be air cooled. Moreover, the internal combustion engine 100 may be a diesel engine. Additionally, the internal combustion engine 100 may be a four-stroke engine.
The internal combustion engine 100 of the present disclosure discloses Zero Injection Injector Inclination ("ZII") combustion system for an internal combustion engine. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the internal combustion engine 100 of the present disclosure discloses Zero Injection Injector Inclination ("ZII") combustion system for an air cooled internal combustion diesel engine.
The "ZII" combustion system removes the deficiencies of unequal spray length, multi-plane nozzle holes orientations, offset in-between combustion cavity and nozzle and the like. Also "ZII" combustion system facilitates elimination of the additional components such as valves, valve stem, valve guide, valve seats (two) as compared to the four valve system, and obtains the benefit of a vertical injector. Accordingly, the internal combustion engine 100 of the present disclosure is comparatively simple in construction, cost effective and easy to production. Test Analysis:
The mixing of fuel with air in a diesel engine strongly dictates the specific fuel consumption, exhaust smoke and other emissions. The fuel injection pressure, fuel spray configuration, air motion and the condition of the air always govern the mixture formation in direct injection diesel engine.
Referring to Figures 6a to 7b, construction of the prior art internal combustion engine 10 and the internal combustion 100 of the present disclosure is disclosed.

In the prior art internal combustion engine 10, the injector 12 is in inclined position and inclination is of 25 degrees to vertical (illustrated in Figure 6b), whereas in the internal combustion 100 of the present disclosure, the injector 104 is having 0 degree inclination to vertical. The cylinder head is adapted to accommodate the vertical configuration of injector with two valves per cylinder configuration.
Being an inclined injector in the prior art internal combustion engine ]Q, the sprays are spaced to avoid possible overlap of injector thus resulted into the spacing of spray in different planes (illustrated in Figure 6a). Whereas in the internal combustion 100 of the present disclosure, because of zero injector inclination to the vertical, all the sprays has been placed at equal angle and in a single plane (illustrated in Figure 7a). The through flow and the spray cone angle have been kept same. The experiments have been carried for the fixed speed and different bmep level. For the same fuelling the engine performance and the emission has been recorded.
Referring to the Figure 8, a graph depicting variation of Bmep (bar) with respect to fuelling (mm3/str) is illustrated. In the graph, the "X" axis represents Fuelling (mm3/str) and the "Y" axis represents Bmep (bar). The line 110 represents variation of Bmep (bar) with respect to fuelling (mm3/str) for the internal combustion 100 of the present disclosure. Similarly, the line 112 represents variation of Bmep (bar) with respect to fuelling (mm3/str) for the prior art internal combustion engine 10. For the same fuelling, with the internal combustion 100 of the present disclosure the bmep recorded is 8 to 10 % high as compared to the prior art internal combustion engine 10. The unequal sprays spacing always lead to the phenomenon like spray overlapping, and thus leads to the improper combustion efficiency and result into the poor performance and

the emissions. Whereas the equal spray crucially avoiding possible overlaps of injection jets. Such a layout enables a 360 degree quasi-concentric combustion.
Referring to the Figure 9, a graph depicting variation of Smoke (HSU) with respect to fuelling (mm3/str) is illustrated. In the graph, the "X" axis represents Fuelling (mm3/str) and the "Y" axis represents Smoke (HSU). The line 110 represents variation of Smoke (HSU) with respect to fuelling (mm3/str) for the internal combustion 100 of the present disclosure. Similarly, the line 112 represents variation of Smoke (HSU) with respect to fuelling (mm3/str) for the prior art internal combustion engine 10. Heavy smoke reduction has been recorded with the internal combustion 100 of the present disclosure for higher fuelling. The prior art internal combustion engine 10 different points for same fuelling indicate the data recorded for the number of standard production engine to see the consistency of results. As the fuelling decreases the air fuel mixture become leaner and leaner and results into less smoke and thus the difference become narrow for the prior art internal combustion engine 10 and the internal combustion 100 of the present disclosure.
Referring to the Figure 10, a graph depicting variation of Hydro Carbon concentration HC (ppm) with respect to Bmep (bar) is illustrated. In the graph, the "X" axis represents Bmep (bar) and the "Y" axis represents HC (ppm). The line 110 represents variation of Hydro Carbon concentration HC (ppm) with respect to Bmep (bar) for the internal combustion 100 of the present disclosure. Similarly, the line 112 represents variation of Hydro Carbon concentration HC (ppm) with respect to Bmep (bar) for the prior art internal combustion engine 10. The quasi concentric combustion also improved the overall combustion efficiency, as observed in increased bmep level for the same fuelling and

resulted into the 40% Hydro Carbon concentration decrease for the internal combustion 100 of the present disclosure.
Referring to the Figure 11, a graph depicting variation of Carbon Monoxide CO (ppm) with respect to Bmep (bar) is illustrated. In the graph, the "X" axis represents Bmep (bar) and the "Y" axis represents CO (ppm). The line 110 represents variation of Carbon Monoxide CO (ppm) with respect to Bmep (bar) for the internal combustion 100 of the present disclosure. Similarly, the line 112 represents variation of Carbon Monoxide CO (ppm). with respect to Bmep (bar) for the prior art internal combustion engine lO.Because of the quasi concentric Air and fuel states in different spray pocket also leads to the better oxidation process, this is veiry well supported by the 25 % less CO emission for lower and part load condition at source for the internal combustion 100 of the present disclosure as compared to the prior art internal combustion engine 10.
Referring to the Figure 12, a graph depicting variation of Oxides of Nitrogen NOx (ppm) with respect to Bmep (bar) is illustrated. In the graph, the "X" axis represents Bmep (bar) and the "Y" axis represents NOx (ppm). The line 110 represents variation of Oxides of Nitrogen NOx (ppm) with respect to Bmep (bar) for the internal combustion engine 100 of the present disclosure. Similarly, the line 112 represents variation of Oxides of Nitrogen NOx (ppm) with respect to Bmep (bar). The NOx emission remains nearly same, but decreases at mass emission level and this mainly because increase in power output.
Conclusion:
• The internal combustion engine 100 of the present disclosure allows the two valve configuration and placing injector zero degree inclination to

vertical and zero offset to combustion chamber. This helps to achieve the benefit of four valve configurations and reliability of two valve configurations.
