ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a process for controlling self-ignition in a four-stroke engine comprising variable control of the opening and the closing of the intake and exhaust in the combustion chamber as a function of the engine load. At partial load the invention performs (a) prolonged retention of burned gases in the combustion chamber, and (b) a fresh gas intake period which overall follows the retention period, in order to minimize mixing of the fresh gases with the burned gases and to control the amount of burned gases retained in the combustion chamber.
