Abstract

It is important to make better premixed combustion engines to reduce harmful engine emissions, such as nitrogen oxides(NOx) and smoke, by enhancing thermal efficiency in the internal combustion engines(ICEs). Specifically, since diesel compression ignition(CI) engines are based on the auto-ignition function of diesel fuel in the co-existence of some premixed combustion and most of diffusive flame, homogeneity between air and fuel must be improved. To solve this problem, multi-holes and narrow injection angles for the diesel injector are recommended. If the number of holes in the injector is increased, it could help air utilization and shorten diesel spray penetration. Also, a narrow injection angle could help reduce wall impingement of the diesel spray, when the diesel injection timing is advanced, compared to conventional conditions. Therefore, in this research, the effect of a double-row nozzle was verified in a 6 L diesel engine under low load condition by varying the diesel injection timings from top dead center(TDC) to 70 ° before TDC(BTDC) in the intervals of 10 degrees. All the results were compared with original single-row nozzle cases. The result emphasized that the benefits of a double-row nozzle on reducing NOx and smoke improved thermal efficiency under premixed combustion regimes when diesel injection timing was advanced earlier than 40° BTDC.
