Abstract

See full text

A gasoline compression ignition engine is operated in two modes. In a one mode of operation the engine is operated with a firing fraction of one, corresponding to all of the cylinders being active, working cylinders. In a second skip fire mode of operation a firing fraction of less than one may be used under conditions, such as a low load condition, to improve efficiency. The skip fire mode of operation may also be selected in part based on other considerations, such as maintaining an exhaust temperature conducive for efficient catalytic converter operation or limiting cylinder output variability.
