An ignition coil control system includes: a first ignition coil; a second ignition coil; a spark plug generating spark discharge by a discharge current generated in the first ignition coil and the second ignition coil; and an ignition controller that controls spark discharge of the electrode by adjusting an amount and duration of the discharge current of the first ignition coil and the second ignition coil based on a step pulse signal including different voltages transmitted from an engine control unit (ECU).

Ignition coil control system and method

An ignition coil control system may include a first ignition coil including a primary coil and a secondary coil; a first switch that selectively electrically-connects the primary coil of the first ignition coil; a second ignition coil including a primary coil and a secondary coil; a second switch that selectively electrically-connects the primary coil of the second ignition coil; a pair of electrodes generating spark discharge by a discharge current generated in the first ignition coil and the second ignition coil; and an ignition controller that controls spark discharge of the pair of electrodes by adjusting an amount and a duration of the discharge current of the first ignition coil and the second ignition coil by turning the first switch and the second switch on or off according to a single pulse signal having a constant voltage including different voltages transmitted from an engine control unit (ECU).

Ignition coil control system and method thereof

An ignition coil control method may include receiving first pulse signal and second pulse signal following the first pulse signal by a delay time transmitted from an engine control unit; charging the first ignition coil when the first pulse signal is on; charging the second ignition coil when a predetermined time period elapses from a time at which the first pulse signal is on; discharging the first ignition coil when the first pulse signal is off; discharging the second ignition coil when a maintaining time of the first pulse signal from a time at which the second ignition coil is charged; when the second pulse signal is on, charging the first ignition coil for a dwell time and then discharging the first ignition coil; and charging the second ignition coil for the dwell time and then discharging the second ignition coil when a predetermined time period elapses from a time at which the second ignition coil is discharged.

Method of controlling ignition coil

A fuel supply device for a liquefied petroleum direct injection (LPDI) engine in which liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is directly injected into a combustion chamber and a start control method of an LPDI engine having the fuel supply device, wherein the high pressure fuel pump receives and compresses fuel to a pressure higher than a pressure at which fuel has been supplied, wherein the high pressure fuel rail buffers and supplies fuel to a direct injector that injects fuel directly into a combustion chamber, wherein the return line is connected to the supply line through the high pressure fuel pump to form a low pressure line, allowing a surplus portion of fuel supplied to the high pressure fuel pump from the fuel tank to return to the fuel tank, and wherein a first valve is disposed on the return line to control the flow rate of returning fuel.

Fuel supply device for LPDI engine and start control method of LPDI engine having the fuel supply device

A device for decreasing fuel pulsation of an LPG vehicle may include a bombe storing LPG fuel therein, a regulator connected to the bombe and adjusting a temperature and pressure of the LPG fuel, an injector spraying the LPG fuel supplied from the regulator to an engine, a fuel line connecting the bombe, the regulator, and the injector to supply or collect the fuel, and a pulsation damper provided between the regulator and the injector in the fuel line and have a plurality of pistons slidably coupled each other for decreasing the fuel pulsation.
