Effect of Prechamber Jet Ignition on Gasoline Engine Performance
-
摘要: 通过试验手段对比分析了预燃室射流点火模式及火花塞点火模式 (SI)对燃烧性能的影响,结果表明:SI点火模式的发动机受高负荷爆震的限制,仅在中等负荷达到最佳的油耗率和热效率。压缩比(CR)的增加仅在中小负荷对油耗率和热效率有改善效果;相比于SI点火模式,预燃室射流点火模式可实现更快的燃烧速度和火焰传播速度,对SI发动机的爆震有较好的抑制效果,在中等负荷具有更低的油耗率和更高的热效率,但在低负荷及高负荷阶段,油耗率和热效率恶化;采用预燃室射流点火模式,能有效增加缸内燃烧速率,减轻CA50推迟对油耗率恶化的效果,通过提高压缩比实现降低油耗率的潜力和效果更好。Abstract: In this study, the influence of passive prechamber jet ignition mode and spark plug ignition mode (SI) on combustion performance was compared and analyzed by tests. The results showed that: SI engine was limited by detonation under high load, it achieved the best fuel consumption rate and thermal efficiency only under medium load. The fuel consumption and thermal efficiency were promoted with increase of compression ratio (CR) under small and medium loads. Compared with SI mode, passive prechamberjet ignition mode can achieve faster burning velocity and flame propagation speed, so it had good inhibition effect of SI detonation, resulting in lower fuel consumption ratio and higher thermal efficiency under medium load. But the fuel consumption rate and thermal efficiency of passive prechamber jet ignition deteriorated under low and high load. Incylinder combustion rate can be effectively increased when using passive prechamberjet ignition, so the bad effect of CA50 delay on fuel consumption can be weakened, especially the potential and effect of increasing the compression ratio to reduce fuel consumption were better when using passive prechamberjet ignition mode.
