气相射流点火天然气发动机的燃烧及排放特性

射流点火是实现稳定的稀薄燃烧,大幅度提升发动机热效率的有效技术途径。该文利用设计的一种射流点火器,对气相射流点火(GJI)的燃烧开展研究,揭示了主动式射流点火(射流室内有补充燃料)和被动式射流点火(射流室内无补充燃料)的燃烧和排放特性。结果表明:相比于被动式射流点火,主动式射流点火将过量空气系数拓展至2.0,热效率提升1.5%;进一步引入废气再循环(EGR)后,热效率提升至44.5%。主动式射流点火时,最高热效率点NOx排放较被动式射流点火下降低66%,THC及CO排放的增加使燃烧效率降低3%;引入EGR后,NOx进一步降低79%,燃烧效率保持稳定在96%。     

Investigation on the flow and heat transfer characteristics of diesel engine EGR coolers

An important goal in diesel engine research is the development of a means to reduce the emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx). The use of a cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system is one of the most effective techniques currently available for reducing nitrogen oxides. Since PM (Particulate Matter) fouling reduces the efficiency of an EGR cooler, a tradeoff exists between the amount of NOx and PM emissions, especially at high engine loads. In the present study, we performed engine dynamometer experiments and numerical analyses to investigate how the internal shape of an EGR cooler affects the heat exchanger efficiency. Heat exchanger efficiencies were examined for plain and spiral EGR coolers. The temperature and pressure distributions inside these EGR coolers were obtained in three dimensions using the numerical package program FLUENT.
