Abstract
In diesel engines, both the fuel mass injected and the air mass with which it is mixed are decisive factors in determining torque output and, therefore, engine performance, and exhaust- gas composition. For this reason, the systems that control the cylinder-air charge 1) have an important role to play as well as the fuel-injection system. Cylinder-charge control systems clean the intake air and affect the flow, density, and composition (e.g.oxygen content) of the cylinder charge.
