Температура пламени и степень черноты определяют его собственное излучение. Однако оценка указанных параметров на стадии проектирования судовых дизелей представляет собой трудную и еще пока нерешенную проблему. Последнее обусловливается сложностью достоверного математического моделирования процесса сгорания топлива в дизельных двигателях и весьма высокой стоимостью экспериментальных исследований в этой области. Целью данной статьи является разработка расчетно-экспериментального метода определения параметров излучения пламени в камере сгорания судового дизеля 6 ЧН 24/36. Показано, что оценка величины температуры пламени в камере сгорания в функции угла поворота коленчатого вала может быть выполнена по температуре газов, найденной из экспериментальной или расчетной индикаторной диаграммы и специального параметра. Последний определяется на основании зависимости, полученной путем обобщения экспериментальных данных по измерениям температуры пламени на ряде дизельных двигателей. Представлены результаты по температуре пламени для судового дизеля 6 ЧН 24/36, полученные с использованием разработанного расчетно-экспериментального метода. Установлено, что с ростом нагрузки температура пламени возрастает. При этом в диапазоне изменения нагрузки дизеля от 50% до 100% от номинальной мощности увеличение температуры пламени примерно в два раза превышает увеличение температуры газов. Использование полученных результатов для оценки собственных потоков излучения пламени в камере сгорания судового дизеля 6 ЧН 24/36 и сопоставление их с известными экспериментальными данными показало сходимость в пределах 10 – 15%. The flame temperature and radiating power are determined with its own radiation. However, the assessment of these parameters at the design stage of marine diesel engines is a complicated and still unsolved problem. The latter is due to the complexity of reliable mathematical modeling of the fuel combustion process in diesel engines and the very high cost of experimental research in this area. The purpose of this article is to develop a computational and experimental method for determining the parameters of flame radiation in the combustion chamber of marine diesel engine 6 ChN 24/36. It is shown that the estimation of the value of flame temperature in the combustion chamber as a function of the crankshaft rotation angle can be performed using the gas temperature found from the experimental or calculated indicator diagram and a special parameter. The latter is determined on the basis of the dependence obtained by generalizing experimental data of the flame temperature measurements at a number of diesel engines. The results on the flame temperature for marine diesel engine 6 ChN 24/36, obtained using the developed computational and experimental method, are presented. It has been found that the flame temperature increases with increasing load. At the same time, in the range of diesel load variation from 50% to 100% of the nominal power, an increase in the flame temperature is approximately twice more than an increase in the gas temperature. The use of the results obtained to assess the intrinsic fluxes of flame radiation in the combustion chamber of marine diesel engine 6 ChN 24/36 and their comparison with the known experimental data showed the convergence within 10 - 15%.

The sequential turbocharging technique described in this paper leads to an improvement in the operations of highly rated diesel engines, in particular at part loads (better air admission). However, transient phases such as a switch from one turbocharger to two turbochargers can be difficult, mainly because of the inertia of the turbochargers. In order to simulate the dynamics of turbocharged diesel engines, the SELENDIA software has been extended. When applied to two different engines (12 and 16 cylinders), the program shows good agreement with the experimental data. Moreover, the compressor surge has been investigated during faulty switch processes. The software has then been used for predictive studies to evaluate the possibility of adapting sequential turbocharging to a 20-cylinder engine and to calibrate the optimum switching conditions (air and gas valve opening timing).

Современные тенденции развития судовых дизелей связаны, прежде всего с улучшением их энергетических и экологических характеристик. Это обуславливает появление ряда проблем, важнейшая из которых – возрастание теплонапряженности деталей, образующих камеру сгорания. Высокие локальные тепловые потоки на поверхностях крышки цилиндра, поршня и втулки являются одной из главных причин, снижающих эксплуатационную надежность форсированных судовых дизелей. Достоверность расчетной оценки теплового и напряженно-деформированного состояния деталей, образующих камеру сгорания, определяется главным образом правильностью задания локальных граничных условий со стороны рабочего тела. Учитывая, что доля конвективного теплового потока в суммарном теплообмене достигает в среднем за рабочий цикл 60 – 70%, становится очевидной актуальность разработки надежных расчетно-теоретических методов определения полей скоростей рабочего тела в камере сгорания судовых дизелей. Целью данной статьи является дальнейшее совершенствование математической модели локального конвективного теплообмена в камере сгорания высокооборотного судового дизеля. Показано, что внешнее течение рабочего тела в камере сгорания может быть описано уравнениями Эйлера. Представлены поля скоростей рабочего тела в функции угла поворота коленчатого вала, полученные численным методом. Приведены изотермы и изобары рабочего тела, позволяющие более глубоко проанализировать физику процесса конвективного теплообмена в камере сгорания судового высокооборотного дизельного двигателя. Modern trends in the development of marine diesel engines are associated primarily with the improvement of their energy and environmental characteristics. This gives rise to a number of problems, the most important of which is an increase in the combustion intensity. High local heat fluxes on the surfaces of the cylinder head, piston and liner are one of the main reasons that reduce the operational reliability of boosted marine diesel engines. The reliability of the calculated estimate of the thermal and stress-strain state of parts that form the combustion chamber is mainly determined by the correctness of setting the local boundary conditions from the part of the working medium. Taking into account that the share of convective heat flux in the total heat exchange reaches, on average, 60 - 70% for a working cycle, it becomes obvious the urgency of developing reliable computational and theoretical methods for determining the velocity fields of the working medium in the combustion chamber of marine diesel engines. The purpose of this article is to further improve the mathematical model of local convective heat transfer in the combustion chamber of a high-speed marine diesel engine. It is shown that the external flow of the working medium in the combustion chamber can be described by the Euler equations. The velocity fields of the working medium as a function of the angle of rotation of the crankshaft obtained by the numerical method are shown. Isotherms and isobars of the working medium are given, which allow a more in-depth analysis of the physics of the convective heat transfer process in the combustion chamber of a high-speed marine diesel engine.

A computer model for a TBD234V12 marine high-speed diesel engine with 2 turbocharger(2TC) is built on GT-POWER. For validating the computer model, a calculation to the conventional turbocharging system has been done firstly, and the results show good agreement with experimental data. The computer model has then been used for predictive studies of the diesel engine with the proposed STC system on the mapping characteristics. From these results, it can be seen that the STC system can not only improve the part load performance of the diesel engine obviously, but also enlarge the operating range of the marine diesel engine.

This paper presents ways of using the fully-digitised triggerable AVL VideoScope 513D video system for analysing the injection and combustion inside a diesel engine cylinder fuelled by RME with water emulsions.The research objects were: standard diesel fuel, rapeseed methyl ester (RME) and RME – water emulsions. With the aid of a helical flow reactor, stable emulsions with the water fraction up to 30 % weight were obtained, using an additive to prevent the water from separating out of the emulsion.An investigation was made of the effect of the emulsions on exhaust gas emissions (NOX, CO and HC), particulate matter emissions, smoke and the fuel consumption of a one-cylinder HD diesel engine with direct injection. Additionally, the maximum cylinder pressure rise was calculated from the indicator diagram. The test engine was operated at a constant speed of 1 600 rpm and 4 bar BMEP load conditions. The fuel injection and combustion processes were observed and analysed using endoscopes and a digital camera. The temperature distribution in the combustion chamber was analysed quantitatively using the two-colour method. The injection and combustion phenomena were described and compared.A way to reduce NOX formation in the combustion chamber of diesel engines by adding water in the combustion zone was presented. Evaporating water efficiently lowers the peak flame temperature and the temperature in the post-flame zone. For diesel engines, there is an exponential relationship between NOX emissions and peak combustion temperatures. The energy needed to vaporize the water results in lower peak temperatures of the combusted gases, with a consequent reduction in nitrogen oxide formation. The experimental results show up to 50 % NOX emission reduction with the use of 30% water in an RME emulsion, with unchanged engine performance.

Marine diesel engines usually operate on a highly boosted intake pressure. The reciprocating feature of diesel engines and the continuous flow operation characteristics of the turbocharger (TC) make the matching between the turbocharger and diesel engine very challenging. Sequential turbocharging (STC) technology is recognized as an effective approach in improving the fuel economy and exhaust emissions especially at low speed and high torque when a single stage turbocharger is not able to boost the intake air to the pressure needed. The application of STC technology also extends engine operation toward a wider range than that using a single-stage turbocharger. This research experimentally investigated the potential of a STC system in improving the performance of a TBD234V12 model marine diesel engine originally designed to operate on a single-stage turbocharger. The STC system examined consisted of a small (S) turbocharger and a large (L) turbocharger which were installed in parallel. Such a system can operate on three boosting modes noted as 1TC-S, 1TC-L and 2TC. A rule-based control algorithm was developed to smoothly switch the STC operation mode using engine speed and load as references. The potential of the STC system in improving the performance of this engine was experimentally examined over a wide range of engine speed and load. When operated at the standard propeller propulsion cycle, the application of the STC system reduced the brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) by 3.12% averagely. The average of the exhaust temperature before turbine was decreased by 50°C. The soot and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) emissions were reduced respectively. The examination of the engine performance over an entire engine speed and torque range demonstrated the super performance of the STC system in extending the engine operation toward the high torque at low speed (900 to 1200 RPM) while further improving the fuel economy as expected. The engine maximum torque at 900 rpm was increased from 1680Nm to 2361 Nm (40.5%). The average BSFC over entire working area was improved by 7.4%. The BSFC at low load and high torque was significantly decreased. The application of the STC system also decreased the average NOx emissions by 31.5% when examined on the propeller propulsion cycle.

The article considers ship swirl-chamber diesel engines used in shipbuilding as the main and auxiliary engines. Two reasons for low profitability of the swirl chamber diesel engines are highlighted: large heat losses of the cooling working fluid due to the extended heat transfer surface of the chamber, and significant aerodynamic energy losses of compressed air during its passage through a relatively narrow channel connecting the piston chamber with the combustion chamber and the flow of gases from the swirl chamber on top the piston space. There have been proposed the methods for improving the operational performance of swirl-chamber diesels in production, in particular, their fuel efficiency. The scheme of the swirl-chamber and a section of the swirl-chamber cylinder head are presented. It has been stated that the total coefficient of thermal conductivity can be reduced if the wall of the swirl- chamber is made multi-layer. The layouts of a multi-layer cylinder-spherical wall of a swirl combustion chamber with a titanium cylinder-spherical insertion and thermal insulation of a vortex combustion chamber are given. The total thermal resistance of the spherical wall was calculated, heat loss through the multilayer spherical wall was determined, gas temperature in the vortex chamber was calculated, according to the average cycle temperature diagram. It was inferred that the amount of heat removed from the working fluid to cooling through the thermally insulated wall of the swirl-chamber will be 40% less than the amount of heat released to the cooling through the wall of the swirl-chamber of a commercial diesel engine. The difference in heat will be used to increase the indicator gas operation, which, with the same cyclic fuel supply, will lead to a decrease in the specific indicator fuel consumption, and at a constant level of internal engine losses - to a decrease in the specific effective fuel consumption.
