Abstract

An experimental study was carried out to investigate the effects of the injection timing on the spray and combustion characteristics in a spray-guided direct-injection spark-ignition (DISI) engine under lean stratified operation. An in-cylinder pressure analysis, exhaust emissions measurement, and visualization of the spray and combustion were employed in this study. The combustion in a stratified DISI engine was found to have both lean premixed and diffusion controlled flame combustion characteristics. The injection timing condition corresponding to the stratified mixture characteristics was verified to be a dominant factor for these flame characteristics. For the early injection timing, a non-luminous blue flame and low combustion efficiency were observed as a result of the lean homogeneous mixture formation. On the other hand, a luminous sooting flame was shown at the late injection timing because of an under-mixed mixture formation. In addition, the smoke emission and incomplete combustion products were increased at the late injection timing as a result of the increased locally rich area. On the other hand, the NOx emissions decreased and IMEP increased as the injection timing retarded. The combustion phasing produced by the injection timing was verified as the reason for this observation.

분무유도식 DISI엔진의 성층연소운전조건에서 분무 및 화염특성에 대한 실험적 연구가 수행되었다. 연소가시화를 통하여 성층연소 DISI의 연소는 희박 예혼합 연소와 확산연소의 성격을 모두 가지고 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 분사시기에 따른 혼합기 형성특성이 연소의 특성을 결정하는 중요한 인자임을 관찰하였다. 분무와 혼합기 가시화를 통해 낮은 분위기압에서의 over-mixing, 높은 분위기압에서의 under-mixing이 발생하는 것을 확인하였으며 이러한 혼합기 형성과정의 결과에 따라 화염특성, 연소효율 등의 연소특성이 결정되는 것을 살펴볼 수 있었다. 또한, NOx, IMEP도 분사시기에 따른 경향성을 보였으며, 분사시기에 따른 연소상의 변화에 의한 영향임을 확인하였다.
