Fundamentals<br />

Stratified charge mode<br />

Among other things, several important conditions must be met before the engine management system<br />

can change over to stratified charge mode:<br />

- the engine is in the corresponding engine load and speed ranges<br />

- there are no exhaust emission faults in the system<br />

- the coolant temperature is above 50°C<br />

- the NOx sensor is ready, and<br />

- the temperature of the NOx storage catalyst is between 250°C and 500°C<br />

If the above conditions are met, the engine management system can change over to stratified charge<br />

mode.<br />

Intake process<br />

In stratified charge mode, the throttle valve is<br />

opened as wide as possible in order to minimise<br />

throttle losses.<br />

The intake manifold flap closes the lower duct in<br />

the cylinder head. The intake air flows at a faster<br />

rate and tumbles into the cylinders via the upper<br />

duct.<br />

The throttle valve cannot be opened completely as a certain vacuum must always be present<br />

due to the activated charcoal canister system and exhaust gas recirculation.<br />

Air flow<br />

In the cylinder, the tumble motion of the air is<br />

increased by the special shape of the piston<br />

crown.<br />
