stratified charge engine
Explanation:
oder Schichtladungsmotor
"Eine Schichtladung ist ein Verfahren der Ottomotortechnik, bei der der Kraftstoff (z. B. Benzin) so aufbereitet wird, dass im Bereich der Zündkerze ein zündfähiges Gemisch (Lambda λ = 0,5 bis 1,0) besteht, während der übrige Brennraum ein sehr mageres, schwer zündfähiges Gemisch (λ = 1,5 bis 3,0) aufweist."
"A stratified charge engine is a type of internal combustion engine, used in automobiles, in which the fuel is injected into the cylinder just before ignition. This allows for higher compression ratios without "knock," and leaner air/fuel ratio than in conventional internal combustion engines."
