Effects of Intake Temperature on the Combustion Characteristics of HCCI Engine Fueled with n-Butanol

Abstract:

In order to study the influence of intake temperature on the combustion characteristics of HCCI engine fueled with n-butanol, the 2nd cylinder of a water-cooled, naturally aspirated and double-cylinders diesel engine was converted into HCCI combustion mode. The cylinder pressure (P), rate of pressure rise (dp/dφ), heat release rate (dQ/dφ) and cycle-to-cycle variations (CCV) were compared and analyzed by bench tests under the conditions with different intake temperatures at engine speed of 1000r/min, excess air coefficient of 2.5. The experiment results show that the peak pressure (P_max), the peak rate of pressure rise and maximum heat release rate tend to rise and the peak arrives in advance with the increase of intake temperature. As the intake temperature rises, the coefficient of variation for P_max reduces and combustion stability increases.
