Stratified Charge Engine<br />

During intake stroke air enters <strong>the</strong> cylinder<br />

Near <strong>the</strong> end of <strong>the</strong> compression stroke fuel is injected and directed<br />

by <strong>the</strong> piston head bowl towards <strong>the</strong> spark plug<br />

The mixture at <strong>the</strong> spark plug is “rich” in fuel thus easy to ignite but<br />

<strong>the</strong> amount of fuel injected results in an overall “lean” fuel-air mixture<br />

Lowers heat transfer to <strong>the</strong> walls but increases <strong>the</strong>rmal cyclic load on<br />

<strong>the</strong> spark plug, and standard catalytic converter doesn’t work<br />
