高效Atkinson循环TGDI发动机作为传统动力的研究

基于涡轮增压缸内直喷(TGDI)发动机,采用高几何压缩比和大范围可调的可变气门正时(VVT)机构,选择合适的阿特金森(Atkinson)循环率,在兼顾高负荷动力性的同时降低部分负荷的油耗,以解决阿特金森循环发动机动力性不足的问题。制作样机并进行台架试验,研究了阿特金森循环对发动机换气过程的影响和燃油经济性的改善效果及阿特金森循环对排放和动力性的影响。结果表明:阿特金森循环可以容忍更大的几何压缩比以提升热效率,同时有利于降低部分负荷下的泵气损失并提高低负荷时的燃烧稳定性,可降低油耗、颗粒物排放及高负荷时的爆震倾向;但进气门关闭推迟会严重影响发动机的动力性能,因此需要降低高负荷时的阿特金森循环率并提高增压压力。     

基于高压直喷航空煤油点燃式发动机燃烧性能优化的试验研究

为提高航空煤油在点然式发动机中的燃烧热效率,改善发动机爆震及拓宽发动机负荷范围,以3号航空煤油(RP-3)为基础燃料,基于一台单缸水冷、压缩比可调、4冲程点燃式发动机结合高压共轨缸内直喷技术,开展了单双点火、不同负荷、压缩比、喷射压力、喷射时刻和两次喷射策略下航空煤油燃烧特性的试验研究。结果表明,在原机压缩比为10的条件下,将直喷汽油改为直喷航空煤油后,由于航空煤油的抗爆性差、雾化困难、燃烧速率慢等理化特性,发动机的动力性损失约50.0%,油耗增加约60.0%,循环波动也大幅增加;相比于单点火,双点火可使缸内平均有效压力提高,燃烧相位提前,循环波动降低;为了抑制高压缩比下的爆震倾向,可通过降低压缩比来拓宽负荷范围,恢复原机功率。随着压缩比的降低,有效平均压力(BMEP)持续增大,当压缩比为6时,最大转矩可达39.5N·m,功率恢复至原机的88.0%。同时耦合高压及两次喷射策略,随着喷射压力的增大,有效燃油消耗率(BSFC)减小约30.0%,经济性有所提高。相比于单次喷射,采用两次喷射策略可降低油耗,提升缸内有效平均压力,提升燃烧效率,最终可实现发动机燃用航空煤油的性能接近原机水平,最大负荷达原机的90.0%且油耗增加量不超过15.0%。     

米勒循环及低压废气再循环技术对汽油机性能的影响研究

在某2.0L涡轮增压商用车缸内直喷汽油机概念设计阶段,运用GT-Power软件进行了一维热力学计算分析,并着重研究了米勒循环技术与低压废气再循环(exhaust gas recirculation,EGR)技术对燃油经济性的影响。仿真结果显示,长米勒循环和短米勒循环都存在使燃油经济性达到最佳的可变气门正时角度。在中高转速范围内,因为质量流量和流速过高导致长米勒循环的缸内空气无法顺利回流,米勒效应减弱,所以短米勒循环的燃油经济性更好;另外长米勒循环具有两次泵气过程,致使其泵气损失也大于短米勒循环。在低转速范围内,短米勒循环的增压压力需求更大,导致其泵气损失大于长米勒循环,所以长米勒循环的燃油经济性更好。对于试验用汽油机来说,短米勒循环具有明显的优势。低压EGR技术能够使缸内最高温度降低,减轻爆震倾向,因此燃烧重心可以适当提前,从而改善燃油经济性。另外,EGR和新鲜空气总量的增加也使最高燃烧压力增大,有利于燃油经济性的提高。不同工况下,缸内最高温度均随EGR率的增加而降低,因此在一定范围内EGR率越高燃油经济性越好,涡前排温越低,但EGR冷却器需要的散热功率也增大。在发动机燃烧开发阶段,推荐采用短米勒循环技术并结合8%的EGR率。为了验证仿真结果的准确性,开展了性能试验,试验结果与仿真结果在趋势上有很好的一致性。     

米勒循环和废气再循环对涡轮增压汽油机燃烧性能的影响和优化

为了研究米勒循环和废气再循环对高负荷和最佳油耗点燃烧性能的影响,通过修改进气凸轮型线,将一台1.5L采用废气再循环的涡轮增压直喷汽油机由奥托循环改为米勒循环运行。试验结果显示,在对米勒循环和奥托循环两种不同运行方式进行的对比试验中,在低负荷下,米勒循环的泵气损失比奥托循环小。随着负荷的增加,米勒循环的影响开始减小,与奥托循环泵气损失的差异逐渐变小,阻碍米勒循环热效率的改进。此外,米勒循环还降低了压缩终了温度,从而增加了燃烧持续期和排气温度,使其难以提高最佳油耗点的燃油经济性。就废气再循环对米勒循环和奥托循环的影响也进行了对比试验。随着废气再循环率的增加,两种循环的热效率均呈现先升后降的趋势。但采用米勒循环减少了进气时间和气门升程,大大降低了缸内滚流比和湍动能,从而延迟了已燃50%质量分数对应的曲轴转角(MBF50)并延长了燃烧持续期,这使其在高负荷下的热效率和燃油经济性均低于奥托循环。

高压直喷点燃式发动机燃用航空煤油掺混乙醇对燃烧性能优化的试验研究

为提高航空煤油在点燃式发动机中的燃烧热效率,改善发动机爆震及拓宽发动机负荷范围,以3号航空煤油(RP3)为基础燃料,以乙醇为辅助燃料,基于一台单缸水冷、压缩比可调、四冲程点燃式发动机结合高压共轨缸内直喷技术,开展了不同负荷、不同乙醇和航空煤油掺混比、不同喷射压力、不同喷射时刻下航空煤油燃烧特性的试验研究。结果表明,在压缩比为7的条件下,由于爆震的限制,发动机负荷仅能达到原机的72.0%。而乙醇具有较强的抑制爆震的能力,随着乙醇在航空煤油中掺混比例的增加,发动机负荷区间不断拓展,当乙醇的掺混比为10%时发动机可实现全负荷工作。继续增大乙醇的掺混比例,可进一步提升功率并降低油耗。为探究喷油时刻对动力性、经济性的影响,试验测定了5种喷油时刻对燃烧性能的影响。当喷油时刻为压缩上止点前300°时,发动机具有较好的动力性;当喷油时刻为上止点前360°时,发动机具有较好的经济性。

本文基于一台压缩比可变的单缸热力学发动机,使用自主开发的空气辅助喷射系统,在全负荷条件下,开展了活塞式航空煤油发动机性能优化及爆震抑制的试验研究。探究了采用双点火、降低压缩比以及使用CO2辅助喷射对航空煤油发动机的性能及爆震抑制的影响研究。结果表明,采用双点火可以有效提高航空煤油火焰传播速率,提高燃烧相位,降低循环波动,并且有抑制爆震的作用;通过降低压缩比有效实现了爆震抑制,解决在较高压缩比下航空煤油发动机只能运行在小负荷区间的难题,压缩比降至6,发动机实现全负荷运行,动力性、经济性较好,且不易发生爆震;采用CO2辅助航空煤油喷射时,随着CO2脉宽的增加,同一点火时刻下,发动机的动力性经济性下降,但由于CO2的抑制爆震的作用,MBT点火时刻最大可提前至14 °CA BTDC,使得燃烧相位提前,发动机燃烧效率提高。     

Knocking combustion in spark-ignition engines

Knocking combustion research is crucially important because it determines engine durability, fuel consumption, and power density, as well as noise and emission performance. Current spark ignition (SI) engines suffer from both conventional knock and super-knock. Conventional knock limits raising the compression ratio to improve thermal efficiency due to end-gas auto-ignition, while super-knock limits the desired boost to improve the power density of modern gasoline engines due to detonation. Conventional combustion has been widely studied for many years. Although the basic characteristics are clear, the correlation between the knock index and fuel chemistry, pressure oscillations and heat transfer, and auto-ignition front propagation, are still in early stages of understanding. Super-knock combustion in highly boosted spark ignition engines with random pre-ignition events has been intensively studied in the past decade in both academia and industry. These works have mainly focused on the relationship between pre-ignition and super-knock, source analyses of pre-ignition, and the effects of oil/fuel properties on super-knock. The mechanism of super-knock has been recently revealed in rapid compression machines (RCM) under engine-like conditions. It was found that detonation can occur in modern internal combustion engines under high energy density conditions. Thermodynamic conditions and shock waves influence the combustion wave and detonation initiation modes. Three combustion wave modes in the end gas have been visualized as deflagration, sequential auto-ignition and detonation. The most frequently observed detonation initiation mode is shock wave reflection-induced detonation (SWRID). Compared to the effect of shock compression and negative temperature coefficient (NTC) combustion on ignition delay, shock wave reflection is the main cause of near-wall auto-ignition/detonation. Finally, suppression methods for conventional knock and super-knock in SI engines are reviewed, including use of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), the injection strategy, and the integration of a high tumble - high EGR-Atkinson/Miller cycle. This paper provides deep insights into the processes occurring during knocking combustion in spark ignition engines. Furthermore, knock control strategies and combustion wave modes are summarized, and future research directions, such as turbulence-shock-reaction interaction theory, detonation suppression and utilization, and super-knock solutions, are also discussed.

Influence of the equivalence ratio on the knock and performance of a hydrogen direct injection internal combustion engine under different compression ratios

Hydrogen has become an ideal alternative fuel for internal combustion engines. However, with an increase in the equivalence ratio and compression ratio, knock combustion is more likely to occur, which limits its engineering application. In this study, the effects of the equivalence ratio on the knock under different compression ratios were studied through numerical simulation. The signal energy ratio (SER) were used to evaluate the knock onset (KO). The knock intensity (KI) and engine performance were compared and analyzed under different equivalence ratios and compression ratios. The results revealed that a high compression ratio can significantly amplify the effect of the equivalence ratio on combustion and knock. Under the compression ratio of 17.5, KI increases more quickly, with the constant equivalence ratio rise and is more sensitive to ignition timing with equivalence ratio increasing. For the compression ratio of 11, the ignition timing limited by knock is about 4°CA earlier than that of compression ratio of 17.5, and the engine performance is more stable in the low-knock zone. However, when KI exceeds 1 MPa, the power and ITE decreases 20.6% and 20.9% respectively.     

A comparison of Miller and Otto cycle natural gas engines for small scale CHP applications

This paper presents an investigation into the feasibility and potential advantages of a small scale Miller cycle natural gas engine for applications such as domestic combined heat and power systems. The Miller cycle engine is compared to a standard Otto cycle engine using cycle analyses and multidimensional simulation, and basic engine design implications are discussed. It is found that the Miller cycle engine has a potential for improved fuel efficiency, but at the cost of a reduced power to weight ratio. A fuel efficiency advantage of 5→10%$5\to 10\%$ compared to a standard Otto cycle engine appears possible, however it is stated that further investigations, in particular into the topic of engine friction, are required in order to validate the findings.     

Numerical investigation on combustion regulation for a stoichiometric heavy-duty natural gas engine with hydrogen addition considering knock limitation

Aiming to further improve the thermal efficiency and reduce NO_x emissions in the stoichiometric hydrogen-enriched natural gas (NG) engine, a detailed 3-D simulation model of stoichiometric operation heavy-duty NG engine is built based on the actual boundary conditions from high load bench test. The superimposed methods for knock regulation, combustion and emission control, including Miller valve timing, hydrogen volume fraction and EGR rate were proposed and investigated comprehensively. It reveals that the typically bimodal characteristic of heat release rate (HRR) curve is caused by knock, which seriously restricts the performance improvement of stoichiometric NG engine under high load condition. To predict and control the occurrence of the second peak of HHR accurately, a new parameter BI is defined. Moreover, the Miller timing with 20°CA of the intake valve late closing shows better combustion performance within the knock limit, accompanied by a slight increase in NO_x emissions. Additionally, the 5% hydrogen blend, coupled with the Miller cycle, can further enhance the indicated thermal efficiency (ITE) of the NG engine due to the stronger effects on acceleration of laminar flame propagation velocity than the promotion of end-gas auto-ignition. Besides, the great potential of EGR rate for balancing NO_x and ITE is also confirmed in the heavy-duty hydrogen-enriched NG engine adopting Miller cycle. Compared to the original indexes, combing with the regulation strategies of intake valve late closing (20°CA), hydrogen addition (5%) and EGR (17%) are proved to increase the indicated thermal efficiency by 1.89% and reduce NO_x emissions by 11.47% within the knock limit.     

Performance analysis and optimization of a supercharged Miller cycle Otto engine

One of the major alternatives of the Otto cycle has been examined to determine its potential for increased efficiency and net work power in the spark ignited internal combustion engine is to shorten the compression process relative to the expansion process by early close or late of intake valve. The modified Otto cycle is called Miller cycle. This paper deals with the analysis of a supercharged Otto engine adopted for Miller cycle operation. The Miller cycle shows no efficiency advantage and suffers a penalty in power output in the normally aspirated version. In the supercharged Otto engine adopted for Miller cycle version, it has no efficiency advantage but does provide increased net work output with reduced propensity to engine knock problem. Sensitivity analysis of cycle efficiency versus early close of intake valve and that of cycle net work versus early close of intake valve are performed. Optimization on the cycle efficiency is obtained.

The impacts of compression ratio on the performance and emissions of ice powered by oxygenated fuels: A review

Energy sources are becoming a governmental issue, with cost and stable supply as the main concern. Oxygenated fuels production is cheap, simple and eco-friendly, as a well as can be produced locally, cutting down on transportation fuel costs. Oxygenated fuels are used directly in an engine as a pure fuel, or they can be blended with fossil fuel. The most common fuels that are conceded under oxygenated fuels are ethanol, methanol, butanol Dimethyl Ether (DME), Ethyl tert-butyl ether (ETBE), Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) and biodiesel that have attracted the attention of researchers. Due to the higher heat of vaporization, high octane rating, high flammability temperature, and single boiling point, the oxygenated fuels have a positive impact on the engine performance, combustion, and emissions by allowing the increase of the compression ratio. Oxygenated fuels also have a considerable oxygen content that causes clean combustion. The aim of this paper was to systematically review the impact of compression ratio (CR) on the performance, combustion and emissions of internal combustion engines (ICE) that are operated with oxygenated fuels that could potentially replace petroleum-based fuels or to improve the fuel properties. The higher octane rating of oxygenated fuels can endure higher compression ratios before an engine starts knocking, thus giving an engine the ability to deliver more power efficiently and economically. One of the more significant findings to emerge from this review study was the slight increases or decreases in power when oxygenated fuel was used at the original CR in ICE engines. Also, CO, HC, and NOx emissions decreased while the fuel consumption (FC) increased. However, at higher CR, the engine performance increased and fuel consumption decreased for both SI and CI engines. It was seen the NOx, CO and CO₂ emissions of oxygenated fuels decreased with the increasing CR in the SI engine, but the HC increased. Meanwhile, in CI engine, the HC, CO and NOx decreased as the CR increased with biodiesel fuel.     

Hydrogen–ethanol blending as an alternative fuel of spark ignition engines

The performance and pollutant emission of a four-stroke spark ignition engine using hydrogen–ethanol blends as fuel have been studied. The tests were performed using 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 mass% hydrogen–ethanol blends. Gasoline fuel was used as a basis for comparison. The effect of using different blends of hydrogen–ethanol on engine power, specific fuel consumption, CO and NO_x emission was studied. Operating test results for a range of compression ratio (CR) and equivalent ratio are presented. The results show that the supplemental hydrogen in the ethanol–air mixture improves the combustion process and hence improves the combustion efficiency, expands the range of combustibility of the ethanol fuel, increases the power, reduces the s.f.c., and reduces toxic emissions. The important improvement of hydrogen addition is to reduce the s.f.c. of ethanol engines. Results were compared to those with gasoline fuel at 7 CR and stoichiometric equivalence ratio.

Availability analysis of a coke oven gas fueled spark ignition engine

The current work investigates a coke oven gas fueled spark ignition (SI) engine from the perspective of the first and second laws in order to understand the energy conversion performance of fuels and achieve highly efficient utilization. A detailed energy and exergy analysis is applied to a quasi-dimensional two-zone spark ignition engine model which combines turbulence flame propagation speed model at 1500 rpm by changing gas fuel types, compression ratio, load and ignition timing. It was found that the irreversibility of methane is the maximum and that of syngas is the minimum among the three different fuels. The irreversibility in the combustion process of a coke oven gas fueled SI engine is reduced when the compression ratio or the throttle valve opening angle is increased and the ignition timing is delayed. Increasing the compression ratio and delaying the ignition timing can improve the first and second law efficiency and reduce the brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC). The power performance and fuel economy are good and the energy is also used effectively when the compression ratio is 11, the throttle angle is 90% and the ignition time is ?10° CA ATDC respectively.
