MUMBAI, India, July 7 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202617070513 A) filed by Chongqing Le-Mark Technology Co. , Ltd. on June 05, 2026, for Methanol Engine And Control Method.
Inventor includes Leigh, Peter.
The application for the patent was published on July 03, 2026, under issue no. 27/2026.
Abstract: Disclosed in the present invention is a methanol engine. The methanol engine comprises a methanol fuel system, a compression- ignition engine and an electronic control unit, wherein on the basis of a collected operating condition, the electronic control unit controls the methanol fuel system to inject fuel into a cylinder of the compression-ignition engine. The methanol engine is characterized by further comprising a temperature-controllable hot-surface combustion-supporting system in communication connection with the electronic control unit, wherein the hot-surface combustion-supporting system heats methanol sprayed into the cylinder and adjusts a heating temperature on the basis of the operating condition. The present invention has the advantages of performing autonomous temperature measurement and accurate temperature control, being unaffected by operating conditions and environmental changes, having a long service life, being less prone to aging, etc.; the present invention fills in the gaps of reliable ignition and running in stable operating conditions where existing methanol engines cannot use 100% of methanol fuel; moreover, 30- 50% of fuel costs are reduced, and the heat efficiency reaches up to 47% or more; and the emission of a pure methanol automobile is free of soot, such that the emission of NOx is reduced by 45%. Further provided in the present invention is a control method for a methanol engine.
