Abstract
An engine system is disclosed. The engine system may have an engine including at least one cylinder. The engine system may also have a first source configured to supply fuel for combustion in the engine. The engine system may have a second source configured to supply ignition promoter material for combustion in the engine. The engine system may also have a droplet generator configured to generate droplets of the ignition promoter material. In addition, the engine system may have a controller. The controller may be configured to determine an engine parameter. The controller may also be configured to determine a number of the droplets based on the engine parameter. Further, the controller may be configured to determine droplet sizes of the droplets based on the engine parameter. In addition, the controller may be configured to adjust the droplet generator to generate the number of the droplets having the droplet sizes.
