Promising Development

Reducing vehicle pollutant emissions and fuel consumption is becoming more and more important challenges, while lean-burning are a promising development. However, lean-burning may leads to other problems including combustion instability and incomplete combustion. Recently, laser ignition system has become an attractive field of research in order to replace the conventional spark plug ignition systems in the internal combustion engines to solve problem above. Moreover, methane was regarded as very promising fuel. Therefore, the objective of this article is to review the ignition and combustion characteristics of methane-air mixtures by laser-induced ignition.

Lean Limit

An ignition system that is based on the alternating (AC) rather than the traditional direct (DC) current in the spark plug discharge has been developed at the Caterpillar Technical Center. This system can generate a long duration discharge with controllable power. It is believed that such an ignition system can provide both a leaner operating limit and a longer spark plug life than a traditional DC system due to the long discharge duration and the low discharge power. The AC ignition system has successfully been tested on a Caterpillar single cylinder G3500 natural gas engine to determine the effects on the engine performance, combustion characteristics and emissions. The test results indicate that while the AC ignition system has only a small impact on engine performance (with respect to a traditional DC system), it does extend the lean limit with lower NOx emissions. Evidences also show the potential of reduce spark plug electrode erosions from the low breakdown and sustaining discharge powers from the AC ignition system. This paper summarizes the prototype design and engine demonstration results of the AC ignition system.

Trade Offs

Emissions compliance is a driving factor for internal combustion engine research pertaining to both new and old technologies. New standards and compliance requirements for off-road spark ignited engines are currently under review and include greenhouse gases. To continue operation of legacy natural gas engines, research is required to increase or maintain engine efficiency, while reducing emissions of carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, and volatile organic compounds such as formaldehyde. A variety of technologies can be found on legacy, large-bore natural gas engines that allow them to meet current emissions standards — these include exhaust after-treatment, advanced ignition technologies, and fuel delivery methods. The natural gas industry uses a variety of spark plugs and tuning methods to improve engine performance or decrease emissions of existing engines. The focus of this study was to examine the effects of various spark plug configurations along with spark timing to examine any potential benefits. Spark plugs with varied electrode diameter, number of ground electrodes, and heat ranges were evaluated against efficiency and exhaust emissions. Combustion analyses were also conducted to examine peak firing pressure, location of peak firing pressure, and indicated mean effective pressure. The test platform was an AJAX-E42 engine. The engine has a bore and stroke of 0.216 × 0.254 meters (m), respectively. The engine displacement was 9.29 liters (L) with a compression ratio of 6:1. The engine was modified to include electronic spark plug timing capabilities along with a mass flow controller to ensure accurate fuel delivery. Each spark plug configuration was examined at ignition timings of 17, 14, 11, 8, and 5 crank angle degrees before top dead center. The various configurations were examined to identify optimal conditions for each plug comparing trade-offs among brake specific fuel consumption, oxides of nitrogen, methane, formaldehyde, and combustion stability.

Valve Overlap

Engines operating in low temperature combustion during positive valve overlap operation offer significant benefits of high fuel economy over the low temperature combustion during negative valve overlap operation. Significant efficiency improvement was achieved by the increased gamma and lower pumping loss. However, NOx emissions were increased due to reliance on the flame-induced combustion. In this study, the corona ignition system was evaluated to reduce NOx emissions during positive valve overlap operation while maintaining the benefit of efficiency gain. The tests were performed in a 2.2-L multi-cylinder engine. The results show that the ignition delay is always shorter with the corona ignition system than with the spark plug. The corona ignition system is able to support stable combustion (coefficient of variation of indicated mean effective pressure <3%) in a lower load during positive valve overlap operation than the spark plug, which gives us additional efficiency benefit. Since the corona ignition system promotes simultaneous ignition of the mixture at multiple locations in the combustion chamber as opposed to ignition being limited to the spark gap channel, the dependence of the flame burn for stable combustion during positive valve overlap operation minimizes, which leads to lower NOx emissions over the spark plug.

Beam Delivery

Using a laser, as opposed to a conventional (electrical) spark plug, to create a combustion initiating spark is potentially advantageous for several reasons: flexibility in choosing and optimizing the spark location, in particular to move the spark away from solid heat sinks; production of a more robust spark containing more energy; and obviation of electrode erosion problems. These advantages may lead to an extension of the lean limit, an increase in engine thermal efficiency, and the concomitant benefits of reduced pollutant emissions. This paper presents the design of a laser ignition system appropriate for a large bore natural gas engine. Design considerations include: optimization of spark location, design of beam delivery system and optical plug, and mitigation of vibration and thermal effects. Engine test results will be presented in the second paper of this two-paper series.

Spark Energy

This study investigates the effect of ignition parameters on the cyclic dispersion and the specific fuel consumption of a carburetted single-cylinder engine. Ignition energy measurements were made on the low- and high-voltage sides of the ignition coil, and the performance was predicted satisfactorily by a simple model with passive elements. The spark energy was varied by changing the spark plug gap and the coil-on-time. The spark energy was measured in a special calorimeter: the aim was to find a correlation between engine performance and the spark energy measured by the calorimeter. The tests were conducted at part load and low speed with a weak mixture, as these conditions are known to give high levels of cyclic dispersion. The spark calorimeter showed a higher spark plug conversion efficiency for spark plugs with large gaps. However, the spark plug gap was found to be a more significant determinant of engine performance than the spark energy measured by the calorimeter. The experimental results are preceded by a review of ignition phenomena and their influence on combustion.
