A Study on Reducing the NOx Emission of the L21/31 Medium-Speed Marine Diesel Engine for IMO Tier Emission Legislation

Article Preview

Abstract:

The KIVA-3V program was used to make numerical simulation for L21/31 type of medium-speed marine diesel engine about the NOx emissions and the affection of NOx changing process on different variable parameters under the Tier Ⅱstandard. On this basis, a discussion towards the NOx emission of the model fueling with dimethyl ether (DME) to meet the Tier Ⅲ standard is offered. The results show that reducing the intake temperature, load and speed, postponing the fuel injection timing and intake lag angle properly can decrease the NOx emissions within the limits of NOx in TierⅡ standard. Comparing the results of the numerical simulation of DME and diesel fuel, the NOx emission of the former one is 60.85% of the latter one, and the NOx emission of changing variable parameters on DME engine is 35.56% of the original type of diesel engine, very close to the Tier Ⅲ.
