Multi-fuel intelligent charge compression combustion engine
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of internal combustion engines, and particularly relates to a multi-fuel intelligent charge compression combustion engine.
Background
The traditional diesel engine adopts a cylinder with high compression ratio, when a piston moves to the vicinity of the top dead center, fuel with high cetane number is directly injected into the cylinder, and high-temperature mixed gas is formed by utilizing the high compression ratio when the piston of the engine is compressed to the position close to the top dead center, so that the working mode of fuel spontaneous combustion and ignition is initiated, and the high-compression-ratio cylinder has the advantages of high thermal efficiency, stable work and low emission of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon; however, the average in-cylinder mixed gas concentration is relatively thin, the mixing time of the spray and the air is short, and the fuel and the air cannot be uniformly mixed, so that a local high-temperature area and a local rich combustion area always exist in the cylinder in the combustion process, the emission of nitrogen oxides and soot is relatively high, and the emission of the nitrogen oxides and the soot cannot be simultaneously and greatly reduced. For direct injection diesel engines, a common method for reducing soot emissions is to use a particulate trap, but the particulate trap generally suffers from problems of too short system life and regeneration; the common method for reducing the emission of nitrogen oxides adopts selective catalytic reduction and other means, but the above means easily cause the problems of ammonia gas leakage and the like; therefore, the exhaust gas after-treatment device of the direct injection diesel engine has a complex structure, high cost, undesirable effect and poor reliability.
The traditional gasoline engine adopts a cylinder with low compression ratio, injects high-octane fuel through an air passage port and adopts a working mode of ignition and combustion of a spark plug, and because of the propagation process of flame, a flame front generates more nitrogen oxides.
Some gasoline engines adopt a direct injection scheme, but the scheme still has the defect of low thermal efficiency.
In order to improve the high emission problem of a diesel engine and the low thermal efficiency problem of a gasoline engine, a Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) combustion mode gradually appears, wherein a Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition combustion mode adopts a Homogeneous mixed gas and is matched with a higher Compression ratio to realize the Compression Ignition of the mixed gas. However, the ignition process of the homogeneous charge compression ignition combustion mode completely depends on the chemical reaction kinetics, and the ignition time and the heat release rate are affected by the temperature, the pressure, the physical and chemical properties of the mixed gas, and the like, so the homogeneous charge compression ignition combustion mode has the technical problem that the combustion phase and the combustion rate are difficult to control, the homogeneous charge compression ignition combustion mode is easy to ignite and unstable in small load, and the homogeneous charge compression ignition combustion mode is easy to knock in large load.
A gasoline/diesel dual fuel engine that uses port injection of a low activity fuel to form a homogeneous charge and then ignites with direct injection of a high activity fuel near top dead center has emerged after the homogeneous charge compression ignition combustion mode. Macroscopically, the gasoline/diesel dual fuel engine is a combustion mode with two fuels simultaneously intensively releasing heat, and has lower nitrogen oxide and soot emission. On one hand, because a mode of injecting low-activity fuel through an air passage opening is adopted, the pumping loss of the engine is high, the charge coefficient is reduced, the knocking tendency is increased, the emission of hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide is high, and further the thermal efficiency is lower than that of a conventional direct injection diesel engine; on the other hand, the excess air coefficient of the whole engine is more than 1, soot emission still exists, nitrogen oxide still exists, and the emission of hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide can not be completely converted by adopting a three-way catalytic converter, so that the emission level can not meet the requirements of modern engines.
