Effect of End of Injection Angle on Performance and Emission Formation for a Gasoline Engine

Abstract:

The method of supplying fuel for an electronic-controlled fuel injection system is calculating the required fuel amounts under various operating conditions of engine and controlling the opening and closing timing of fuel injection. After fuel injection, the effects of condensation and atomization of injected fuel as well as fuel mixing for combustion are strongly dominated by the opening timing and duration of intake valves. This can further affect the emission composition and performance for an engine. As the emission regulation is getting more stringent and the requirement for minimizing specific fuel consumption is becoming more urgent, investigating the effect of closing timing of fuel injection has turned out to be a major issue. Therefore, this paper presents a study about a series of engine tests to investigate the effect of end of injection angle on the performance and emission formation for a gasoline engine. In these tests, the values of end of injection angle are adjusted using a control software for electronic-controlled fuel injection system so that the results can be analyzed under various engine speeds and loads.
