Abstract:
In an opposed-piston engine, two or more fuel injectors are mounted to a cylinder for direct side injection into the cylinder. The injectors are controlled so as to inject either a single fuel pulse or a plurality of fuel pulses per cycle of engine operation in order to initiate combustion during varying engine speeds and operating conditions.

Claim (Index 6):
An opposed-piston engine, comprising:\n at least one cylinder with a pair of pistons disposed in opposition for movement between top and bottom dead center positions therein; a plurality of fuel injectors positioned for direct side injection of fuel into the cylinder when a combustion chamber is defined between end surfaces of the pistons as the pistons approach the top dead center locations; a control means responsive to engine operating conditions for generating fuel injection control signals when the pistons are near top dead center locations in the cylinder; and, an injector driver responsive to first control signals for generating first fuel injector actuation signals operative to cause a single fuel injector to inject fuel into the cylinder and for generating second fuel injector actuation signals operative to cause at least two fuel injectors to inject fuel into the cylinder.
