TECHNICAL REVIEW - DEVELOPMENT OF THE TOYOTA LEAN COMBUSTION SYSTEM

Although the three-way catalyst system with oxygen sensor is accepted as one of the most successful systems in reducing exhaust emissions, the air-fuel ratio required by this system is near stoichiometric and so further improvement in fuel economy is possible. The paper describes the Toyota Lean Combustion System (T-LCS) in which the air-fuel ratio is controlled precisely within the lean mixture range using the lean mixture sensor. Using such a system, an engine can be operated with a very lean mixture resulting in improved fuel economy. (TRRL)
