Fuel Injection Pressure

This experiment investigates the combustion and emissions characteristics of a common rail direct injection (CRDI) diesel engine using various blends of pure diesel fuel and palm biodiesel. Fuel injection pressures of 45 and 65 MPa were investigated under engine loads of 50 and 100 Nm. The fuels studied herein were pure diesel fuel 100 vol.% with 0 vol.% of palm biodiesel (PBD0), pure diesel fuel 80 vol.% blended with 20 vol.% of palm biodiesel (PBD20), and pure diesel fuel 50 vol.% blended with 50 vol.% of palm biodiesel (PBD50). As the fuel injection pressure increased from 45 to 65 MPa under all engine loads, the combustion pressure and heat release rate also increased. The indicated mean effective pressure (IMEP) increased with an increase of the fuel injection pressure. In addition, for 50 Nm of the engine load, an increase to the fuel injection pressure resulted in a reduction of the brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) by an average of 2.43%. In comparison, for an engine load of 100 Nm, an increase in the fuel injection pressure decreased BSFC by an average of 0.8%. Hydrocarbon (HC) and particulate matter (PM) decreased as fuel pressure increased, independent of the engine load. Increasing fuel injection pressure for 50 Nm engine load using PBD0, PBD20 and PBD50 decreased carbon monoxide (CO) emissions. When the fuel injection pressure was increased from 45 MPa to 65 MPa, oxides of nitrogen (NOx) emissions were increased for both engine loads. For a given fuel injection pressure, NOx emissions increased slightly as the biodiesel content in the fuel blend increased.

Experimental tests have been carried out to evaluate the performance and emissions characteristics of a diesel engine when fuelled by blends of 25% vegetable oil with 75% diesel fuel, 50% vegetable oil with 50% diesel fuel, 75% vegetable oil with 25% diesel fuel, and 100% vegetable oil, compared with the performance, emissions characteristics of 100% diesel fuel. The series of tests were conducted and repeated six times using each of the test fuels. 100% of ordinary diesel fuel was also used for comparison purposes. The engine worked at a fixed speed of 1500 r/min, but at different loads respectively, i.e. 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of the engine load. The performance and the emission characteristics of exhaust gases of the engine were compared and analyzed. The experimental results showed that the carbon monoxide (CO) emission from the vegetable oil and vegetable oil/diesel fuel blends were nearly all higher than that from pure diesel fuel at the engine 0% load to 75% load. Only at the 100% engine load point, the CO emission of vegetable oil and vegetable oil/diesel fuel blends was lower than that of diesel fuel. The hydrocarbon (HC) emission of vegetable oil and vegetable/diesel fuel blends were lower than that of diesel fuel, except that 50% of vegetable oil and 50% diesel fuel blend was a little higher than that of diesel fuel. The oxides of nitrogen (NOx) emission of vegetable oil and vegetable oil/diesel fuel blends, at the range of tests, were lower than that of diesel fuel.

In an effort to understand the effects of injection system pressure on alternative fuel performance, a single cylinder diesel engine was outfit with a modern common rail fuel injection system and piezoelectric injector. As future new fuels will likely be used in both older mechanical injected engines as well as newer high pressure common rail engines, the question as to the sensitivity of a new fuel type across a range of engines is of concern. In this study conventional diesel fuel (Navy NATO F76) was compared with the new Navy HRD (Hydro-processed Renewable Diesel) fuel from algal sources, as well as the high cetane reference fuel nC16 (n-hexadecane CN=100). It was seen that in general, IGD (Ignition Delay) was shortened for all fuels with increasing fuel injection pressure, and was shortened with higher CN fuels. The combustion duration for all fuels was also significantly reduced with increasing fuel injection pressure, however, longer durations were seen for higher CN fuels at the same fuel pressure due to less pre-mixing before the start of combustion. Companion modeling using the LLNL (Lawrence Livermore National Lab) heavy hydro-carbon and diesel PRF chemical kinetic mechanisms for HRD and nC16 was applied to understand the relative importance of the physical and chemical delay periods of the IGD. It was seen that at low fuel injection pressures, the physical and chemical delay times are of comparable duration. However, as injection pressure increases the importance of the chemical delay times increases significantly (longer), especially with the lower CN fuel.

Abstract Emission regulations focus on the simultaneous reduction of NOx and particulate matter emissions, especially for heavy-duty engines. Oxygenated fuels offer significant advantages in reducing particulate emissions while having little effect on NOx emissions. In addition, renewable fuels present a GHG emission advantage to meet the zero-emission requirements of future hydrocarbon fuels. Among the leading contenders, oxymethylene dimethyl ether (OME) fuels have the potential to be used for direct injection applications. OME as a blend with diesel fuel offers a direct means of improving the emissions of current on-road diesel engines without modification. In this paper, an empirical investigation into spray behavior and engine performance of diesel/OME fuel at 10% by mass has been performed under various fuel injection pressures. Neat diesel fuel was tested as a baseline case. The results are compared to tests under matching conditions using a diesel and OME fuel blend with a focus on spray characteristics, combustion behavior, and engine-out emissions. The physical properties of OME improve the volatility of diesel fuel and can tolerate shorter mixing times without promoting PM production. The PM emissions were found to be reduced by up to 50% and the combustion efficiency was improved at matching NOx levels with OME blending.

Cooking Oils

This research aims to enhance the performance characteristics of diesel engine fuelled with biodiesel produced from waste cooking oils. The effects of fuel injection pressure (IP) on the performance characteristics of diesel engine and emission pollutants are investigated through experimental works using one cylinder diesel engine, direct injection using conventional petroleum diesel and two biodiesel blends (B5) from waste oil i.e. palm and sunflower oil. Five different IPs 100, 110, 130 and 140 kg/cm2, were used besides the original IP of 120 kg/cm2. Performance characteristics of diesel engine such as brake power, brake specific fuel consumption and exhaust emission such as CO, CO2, HC, NOx and PM have been measured while the engine speed is ranged from 1500 to 3500rpm and constant load (65%). The results showed a significant enhancement of the performance of diesel engine fuelled with biodiesel at an IP of 130 kg/cm2.

The invention of internal combustion engines is undoubtedly one of the greatest inventions of the modern era. There has been steady scientific research to look for alternative fuel which is economical, renewable and less harmful to nature and man compared to fossil fuels. The present project is one such experimental work to investigate the performance of a blend of diesel / N-pentanol in an appropriate combustion technique and to establish its suitability as a renewable fuel. The relative performance of diesel fuel and the blend of diesel / n-pentanol will also be analyzed. Diesel fuel blended with 30 percentage n-pentanol is the fuel blend that is proposed to be used in the experiment. Researchers have established that the application of Homogeneously Charged Compression Ignition (HCCI) technique could result in in-cylinder reduction of NOx and PM. Higher thermal efficiency could also be attained. The project also covers studying the emission effect of the diesel/n-pentanol fuel blend for various fuel injection timing, various fuel injection pressure, different EGR rates and different inlet air temperature.
