Abstract
A method of implementing control logic of a compression ignition engine is provided. The engine includes an injector, a variable valve operating mechanism, an ignition plug, at least one sensor, and a processor. The processor outputs the signal to the ignition plug in a specific operating state so that unburnt mixture gas combusts by self ignition after the ignition plug ignites the mixture gas inside a combustion chamber. The method includes determining a geometric compression ratio ε of the engine, and determining control logic defining a valve opening angle CA of an intake valve. The valve opening angle CA (deg) is determined so that the following expression is satisfied, if the geometric compression ratio ε is ε<14, −40ε+800+D≤CA≤60ε−550+D. Here, D is a correction term according to the engine speed NE (rpm), D=3.3×10NE−1.0×10NE+7.0×10NE.
