| Business Summary | | Orbital
Engine
Corporation
Limited
is
a
developer
of
engine
technologies
using
direct
injection,
lean
burn
combustion
and
control
systems.
These
technologies
are
collectively
called
the
Orbital
Combustion
Process
or
OCP
Technology.
The
breakthrough
in
the
engine
design
achieved
by
Orbital
is
a
stratified
combustion
process,
which
involves
an
air-assisted
injection
of
fuel
directly
into
the
combustion
chamber
and
uses
electronic
control
of
the
fuel
delivery,
injection
timing,
ignition
and
other
variables.
The
OCP
combustion
process
and
control
is
suitable
for
both
two-stroke
and
four-stroke
engines,
and
has
been
applied
successfully
across
a
range
of
cylinder
displacements
from
50cc
to
greater
than
500cc,
including
high
operating
engine
speeds. | More
