在可预见的将来,内燃机仍然是主要的汽车驱动力来源。随着油耗法规的不断严苛,持续提升内燃机热效率十分必要,发动机减摩是降低油耗提高热效率的主要途径之一,其中,凸轮轴采用球轴承替代滑动轴承是发动机减摩的重要研究方向。本文以我司1.5T直列4缸发动机为研究对象,通过改变凸轮轴头端轴承类型来研究球轴承对凸轮轴转动摩擦力的影响,实验结果表明,加装球轴承后,凸轮轴的转动扭矩在低速工况下有一定的改善,中高速工况滑动轴承摩擦力更小。     

柴油机燃烧室匹配参数对撞壁喷雾特性的影响

利用高速纹影摄像技术,研究了喷油器喷孔角度、喷孔与活塞顶面间的撞壁距离、燃烧室缩口半径和凸台夹角对柴油撞击燃烧室壁面后喷雾特性的影响。研究结果表明,试验条件下适宜的喷孔角度为75°,增大喷孔角度可以促进喷雾撞壁后的油气混合,但是喷孔角度过大会增加油束撞击气缸盖和气缸套的风险;适宜的撞壁距离为4.2mm,即压缩上止点前15°CA（CA指曲轴转角）,较小的撞壁距离会促进喷雾液滴在凹坑区域的碰撞与黏结,而较大的撞壁距离不利于燃烧室中心区域的空气利用;此外,适当增大缩口半径可以促进燃油与空气的混合,减小燃烧室壁面的燃油湿壁面积;改变凸台夹角可以控制撞壁后喷雾在燃烧室中心区域的扩散速度。     

An analysis on structure of impinging and free diesel spray with exciplex fluorescence method in high temperature and pressure field

Because an injected spray development process consists of impinging and free spray in the diesel engine, it is needed to analyze the impinging spray and free spray, simultaneously, in order to study the diesel spray behavior. To dominate combustion characteristics in diesel engine is interaction between injected fuel and ambient gas, that is, process of mixture formation. Also it is very important to analyze liquid and vapor phases of injected fuel on the investigation of mixing process, respectively and simultaneously. Therefore, in this study, the behavior characteristics of the liquid phase and the vapor phase of diesel spray was studied by using exciplex fluorescence method in high temperature and injection pressure field. Finally, it can be confirmed that the distribution of vapor concentration is more uniform in the case of the high injection than in that of the low injection pressure.

Optical investigation of the fuel injector influence in a PFI spark ignition engine for two-wheel vehicles

This paper describes the results obtained in a port fuel injection spark-ignition (PFI SI) engine by optical diagnostics during the fuel injection and the combustion process. A research optical engine was equipped with the fuel injection system, the head and the exhaust device of a commercial 250 cc engine for scooters and small motorcycles. Two injectors were tested: standard 3-hole injector that equipped the real reference engine and a 12-hole injector. The intake manifold was modified to allow the visualization of the fuel injection using an endoscopic system coupled with CCD camera. Size and number of the fuel droplets were evaluated through an image processing procedure. The cycle resolved visualization and chemiluminescence allowed to follow the combustion process from the spark ignition to the exhaust phase. All the optical data were correlated with engine parameters and exhaust emissions. The effect of the fuel injector type on deposits formed by fuel accumulation and dripping on the intake valves steams and seats was investigated. In particular, the evolution of diffusion-controlled flames due to the fuel deposits burning was analyzed. These flames were principally located near the intake valves, and they persisted well after the normal combustion event. The consequences were the formation and emission of soot and unburned hydrocarbons. The multi-hole injector helped reducing wall wetting and deposit formation so that the emission characteristic can be improved. The use of 12-hole injector allowed a more homogeneous distribution for a lower time of fuel droplets in the intake manifold than the 3-hole injector. This study also investigated the detailed physical/chemical phenomena to figure out reasons for the improvement using optical measurements.     

Effects of different piezo-acting mechanism on two-stage fuel injection and CI combustion in a CRDi engine

In this study, the effects of two piezo injectors operated by different mechanisms on multi-injection and Compression ignition (CI) combustion were investigated. High-pressure injectors for CI engines are divided into two categories according to the actuator: Solenoid and piezo injectors. It is commonly known that both injectors have a hydraulic circuit for fuel injection; thus, the performance of the injector is highly dependent on not only hydraulic characteristics such as volume of internal chambers and nozzle geometry, but also the actuation mechanism. Specially, the direct needle-Driven piezo injector (DPI) is introduced in this study and compared with the indirectacting Piezo injector (PI) to investigate the injection characteristics and influences on CI combustion performance by using spray visualization, injection rate measurement, and single cylinder diesel engine experiments, as well as numerical simulation for injection rate modeling of DPI. In the spray visualization experiment, a high-speed camera was used to examine spray tip penetration length and spray speed with respect to each injector. Also, in order to investigate injection rate information, which is a significantly dominant factor in combustion characteristics, the Bosch-tube method was adapted under the condition of a back pressure of 4.5 MPa, corresponding to engine motoring pressure. Also, a single-cylinder CRDi (Common-rail direct-injection) engine experiment was carried out to determine the effects of different piezo-acting mechanisms on two-stage fuel injection and CI combustion. From the key results obtained by this study, the direct needle-driven piezo injector has a faster SOI (Start of injection) and EOI (End of injection). In addition, the overall shape of the injection rate of DPI was narrow and the injection had a higher spray speed than that of PI. Also, DPI has a higher heat release rate and peak pressure, as verified by the engine experiment. In particular, it was found that DPI showed the possibility of combustion improvement when applying a pilot injection strategy.

     

Reduced Quasi-Dimensional Combustion Model of the Direct Injection Diesel Engine for Performance and Emissions Predictions

A new concept of reduced quasi-dimensional combustion model for a direct injection diesel engine is developed based on the previously developed quasi-dimensional multi-zone model to improve the computational efficiency. In the reduced model, spray penetration and air entrainment are calculated for a number of zones within the spray while three zones with aggregated spray zone concept are used for the calculation of spray combustion and emission formation processes. It is also assumed that liquid phase fuel appears only near the nozzle exit during the breakup period and that spray vaporization is immediate in order to reduce the computational time. Validation of the reduced model with experimental data demonstrated that the new model can predict engine performance and NO and soot emissions reasonably well compared to the original model. With the new concept of reduced model, computational efficiency is significantly improved as much as 200 times compared to the original model.     

柴油机缸内辐射换热的多维数值模拟研究

对柴油机来说,辐射换热极为重要,在缸内总传热量中占有非常大的比重,直接关系到发动机热效率及因传热引起的各种热负荷、热强度问题,同时,辐射换热对燃烧系统的研究也十分重要,辐射热流量会深刻影响内燃机的燃烧性能,对发动机的各种燃烧产物的形成产生至关重要的影响。为此,利用离散传递法实现柴油机缸内辐射换热的多维数值模拟,通过多维模拟计算同时考察燃烧室部件表面发射率及喷雾提前角对柴油机缸内辐射换热的影响。结果表明：活塞的辐射热流量峰值高于缸盖的辐射热流;缸盖的辐射热流量的最大值并不在中心位置处,而是随时间变化;随着壁面辐射率的增加,缸内向燃烧室部件辐射换热量逐渐增大;喷雾提前角直接影响所有燃烧室部件表面的辐射热流密度。     

Visualisation of fuel-lubricant interaction on the cylinder surface in the combustion chamber of SI engines

Visualisation of fuel component penetration and release into the lubricating oil layer covering the combustion chamber wall has been achieved, using a laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) test technique. Experimental data show that fuel component penetration into the oil layer contributes not only to unburnt hydrocarbon emissions in spark ignition (SI) engines, but also to engine oil degradation. Fuel components accumulated in the oil layer are transferred to the bulk in ring belt zones, after a measurable residence time. A significant difference in film thickness between the oil layer on the combustion-chamber wall during the intake/compression sequence, as against the expansion/exhaust sequence, indicates that in the ring belt zones and above, engine oil viscosity, and hence load-carrying capacity, is influenced by fuel absorption/desorption in the engine oil.     

An experimental study on spray and combustion characteristics based on fuel temperature of direct injection bio-ethanol-gasoline blending fuel

This study investigated the spray and combustion characteristics of a direct injection spark ignition type system based on the changes in the temperature of the blended fuel (with bio-ethanol and gasoline). The test was performed in a chamber with a constant volume. The diameter and width of the chamber were 86 mm and 39 mm, respectively. The bio-ethanol test fuel was blended at volume ratios of 0 %, 10 %, 20 % and 100 %. The temperature of the fuel was set as −7, 25 and 35 °C. The fuel injection pressure and ambient pressure were set as 4.5 and 0.5 MPa, respectively. The shape and characteristics of the spray were investigated through a spray experiment. The increase in the fuel temperature changed its density and viscosity; this in turn increased spray penetration and spray area and increased the bio-ethanol blending ratio. The combustion visualization and experimental analysis indicated that the decrease in the fuel temperature and the increase in the bio-ethanol blending ratio led to the high viscosity and low heating value. This resulted in an increase in the ignition delay and a decrease in the rate of heat release. It is necessary to adjust the spray strategy and ignition timing to adopt bio-ethanol blended fuel as an alternative fuel.

     

Calculation of fuel spray impingement and fuel film formation in an HSDI diesel engine

Spray impingement and fuel film formation models with cavitation have been developed and incorporated into the computational fluid dynamics code, STAR-CD. The spray/wall interaction process was modeled by considering the effects of surface temperature conditions and fuel film formation. The behavior of fuel droplets after impingement was divided into rebound, spread and splash using the Weber number and parameter $K(\sqrt {We\sqrt {Re} } )$ . The spray impingement model accounts for mass conservation, energy conservation, and heat transfer to the impinging droplets. The fuel film formation model was developed by integrating the continuity, momentum, and energy equations along the direction of fuel film thickness. Zero dimensional cavitation model was adopted in order to consider the cavitation phenomena and to give reasonable initial conditions for spray injection. Numerical simulations of spray tip penetration, spray impingement patterns, and the mass of film-state fuel matched well with the experimental data. The spray impingement and fuel film formation models have been applied to study spray/wall impingement in high-speed direct injection diesel engines.     

The effect of injection pressure and fuel viscosity on the spray characteristics of biodiesel blends injected into an atmospheric chamber

An experimental study was conducted to examine the effect of injection pressure and fuel type on the spray tip penetration length and the angle of spray injected into atmospheric chamber. The objective of the present study is to formulate empirical correlations of the spray tip penetration and the spray angle for non-evaporative condition. The experiment was performed by a common rail type high-pressure injector for the diesel engine at the injection pressure 40??100 MPa and four different fuels (D100, BD25, BD45, and BD65). The results showed that the biodiesel content increased the spray tip penetration and decreased the spray angle. The correlation of spray tip penetration is expressed for each region before and after spray break-up time in terms of injection pressure, fuel viscosity and time after start of injection. The correlation is also obtained for spray angle equation terms of injection pressure and fuel viscosity.     

A study on the characteristics of soot formation and oxidation in free fuel droplet array

In this study, it was attempted to obtain the fundamental data for the formation and oxidation of soot from a diesel engine. Combustion of spray injected into a cylinder is complex phenomenon having physical and chemical processes, and these processes affect each other. There are many factors in the mechanism of the formation and oxidization of soot and it is necessary to observe spray combustion microscopically. In order to observe with that view, free fuel droplet array was used as an experimental object and the droplet array was injected into an atmospheric combustion chamber with high temperature. Ambient temperature of the combustion chamber, interdroplet spacing, and droplet diameter were selected as parameters, which affect the formation and oxidation of soot. In this study, it was found that the parameters also affect ignition delay of droplet. The ambient temperature especially affected the ignition delay of droplet as well as the flame temperature after self-ignition. As the interdroplet spacing that means the local equivalence ratio in a combustion chamber was narrow, formation of soot was increased. As diameter of droplet was large, surface area of the droplet was also broad, and hence evaporation of the droplet was more active than that of a droplet with relative small diameter.

An experimental study on the effects of impingement-walls on the spray and combustion characteristics of SIDI CNG

Compressed natural gas (CNG) is regarded as one of the most promising alternative fuels, and maybe the cleanest fuel for the sparkignition (SI) engine. In the SI engine, direct injection (DI) technology can significantly increase the engine volumetric efficiency and decrease the need of throttle valve. During low load and speed conditions, DI allows engine operation with the stratified charge, and the use of extremely lean fuel-air mixture enables relatively higher combustion efficiency. In this study, a combustion chamber with a visualization system is designed. The spray development and combustion propagation processes SIDI CNG were digital recorded. It was found that high injection pressure reduced the ignition probability significantly because of quenching of flame kernel. To improve the ignition probability, three kinds of impingement-walls were designed to help the mixture preparation. It was found that the CNG-air mixture can be easily formed after spray-wall impingement and the ignition probability was also improved. The results of this study can contribute important data for the design and optimization of spark-ignition direct injection (SIDI) CNG engine.     

3-D Simulation of the combustion process for di-methyl ether-fueled diesel engine

The characteristics of spray, auto-ignition, and the combustion process of di-methyl ether(DME) were investigated using a 3-D simulation of a combustion vessel under various engine conditions, including high temperature and pressure. Spray impingement and nonpremixed combustion models were incorporated into the computational fluid dynamics code, called STAR-CD. A Peng-Robinson equation of state was introduced to calculate the evaporation rate of DME droplets that were exposed to high-pressure conditions. A Laminar flamelet concept was used to simulate non-premixed combustion. A skeletal chemical kinetics mechanism consisting of 28 species and 45 reactions was used as the chemical mechanism for DME. Compared with the experimental data, the flamelet concept combustion model predicted the essential features of the combustion process and auto-ignition characteristics of the DME spray reasonably well for various initial conditions. The combustion process of a direct injection engine fueled by DME was also simulated and verified through experimental data.     

An investigation on the fuel behavior for a PFI type motorcycle engine

Recently, the electrically controlled fuel injection type motorcycle has been emphasized in order to meet regulations for exhaust emissions. However, there are many difficulties in selecting the control parameters because the pulsation phenomenon occurs in the intake port due to the higher speed operating range and the smaller layout than for a passenger car. Therefore, we investigated the injector spray characteristics which are applied to a 4-valve motorcycle gasoline engine. The spray characteristics were visualized by using a CCD camera synchronized with the stroboscope at 6000 rpm. Furthermore, we compared the simulation results using the VECTIS code with experimental results. The results showed that the trajectory of the spray was directed towards the lower wall of the intake port when the fuel was injected at closed valve timing. On the other hand, when the fuel was injected at open valve timing, a large portion of the fuel was lifted towards the upper half of the port. In addition, open valve injection makes fuel evaporation time short; this resulted in better mixture formation than a closed valve injection. From this result, we found that injection timing has a great effect on the mixture formation within a motorcycle cylinder.

The effect of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) on combustion stability, engine performance and exhaust emissions in a gasoline engine

The EGR system has been widely used to reduce nitrogen oxides (NOx) emission, to improve fuel economy and suppress knock by using the characteristics of charge dilution. However, as the EGR rate at a given engine operating condition increases, the combustion instability increases. The combustion instability increases cyclic variations resulting in the deterioration of engine performance and emissions. Therefore, the optimum EGR rate should be carefully determined in order to obtain the better engine performance and emissions. An experimental study has been performed to investigate the effects of EGR on combustion stability, engine performance, NOx and the other exhaust emissions from 1. 5 liter gasoline engine. Operating conditions are selected from the test result of the high speed and high acceleration region of SFTP mode which generates more NOx and needs higher engine speed compared to FTP-75 (Federal Test Procedure) mode. Engine power, fuel consumption and exhaust emissions are measured with various EGR rate. Combustion stability is analyzed by examining the variation of indicated mean effective pressure (COV_imep) and the timings of maximum pressure (P_max) location using pressure sensor. Engine performance is analyzed by investigating engine power and maximum cylinder pressure and brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC).
