1 Developing New Methods, Techniques to Improve Heavy-Duty Natural Gas Engine Performance By: Mehrzad Kaiadi Supervisor: Associate Prof. Per Tunestål GERG ACADEMIC NETWORK EVENT Division of Combustion Engines, Dept. of Energy Sciences Lund University Sweden

2 Gas Lund University Contents Background Objectives Experimental setup Results Conclusion Future Work 2

3 Background Gas Lund University World Energy Consumption World CO2 Production Source: Energy Information Administration (EIA) 3

4 Background Gas Lund University The main fuel in transporttation sector are Diesel & Gasoline Natural Gas is a good alternative fuel Availability Reliability of resources Costs Bridge to Hydrogen Society CH 4 + H 2 O --> CO + 3H 2 4

5 Background Gas Lund University High octane number Cleaner fuel (mainly CH4) Gasoline Natural gas Source: SwRI Source: Heywood 5

6 Background Gas Lund University Stoichiometric better choice Almost same performance Lower emissions (3-way CAT) 6

7 Objectives Gas Lund University Lower Comp-Ratio Throttling losses Lower fuel density Lower Comp-Ratio Higher Exhaust-Temp Knock Narrow A/F window 7

8 Experimental Setup Gas Lund University Number of Cylinder Displacement 6 9,4 Liter Bore 120 mm Stroke 138 mm Compression Ratio Ignition sequence Fuel 10,5: Natural Gas 8

9 Gas Lund University New features Multi-Port fuel injection is designed (Single point injection is replaced) Why? Control fuel injection for each cylinder individually Rapid engine response to change throttle position Ion-Current measurments Flexible control system 9

10 Gas Lund University Results High performance Model-based controllers to ensure the transient capability Hythane Improving Engine Efficiency at Part Loads Closed-loop dilution limit control Developing new method for calculating combustion stability Engine modifications to improve efficiency & Extend the Maximum load limit 10

11 EGR Reduces Throttling Losses SAE Paper# Throttle Air 1- Without EGR Same load Air EGR 2- With EGR Using optimum amount of EGR can minimize the losses 11

12 Calculation of COV(IMEP) SAE Paper# COV is a normalized standard deviation over large number of cycles Mean value changes during transients Replacing mean value by filtered IMEP to remove deterministic changes from COV IMEP ( k + 1) = λ IMEP ( k) + (1 λ ) IMEP ( k) filtered m filtered m net COV imep 2 ( IMEP net IMEP ) = N 100 ( IMEP ) λ Selected depending on expected time constants m 12

13 Calculation of COV(IMEP) SAE Paper#

14 Control SAE Paper#

15 Pumping Losses SAE Paper# Throttle Position [%] PMEP 1200 RPM Not tested data 25% PMEP decreases BMEP 2.5 bar BMEP 4 bar BMEP 5.5 bar % Unstable PMEP region decreases EGR Valve Position [%] % PMEP decreases

16 Fuel Consumption 45 SFC 1200 RPM SAE Paper# Throttle Position [%] Not tested data 4.5 % Lower fuel Consumption BMEP 2.5 bar BMEP 4 bar BMEP 5.5 bar Unstable region EGR Valve Position [%] % Lower fuel Consumption 5.9 % Lower fuel Consumption

17 Gas Lund University Engine Modification New Piston design Higher compresion ratio Higher turbulence level New EGR Configuration Higher EGR rate Faster & more rebust control of EGR VGT Adjusting boost pressure Minimizing throttle losses 17

18 Improving Efficiency Gas Lund University Combustion Duration Vs. Engine (WOT) Original Piston Quarttet Piston 0.48 Gross-Indicated Efficiency Vs. Engine WOT Combustion Duration [CAD] Engine Speed [RPM] Gross-Indicated Efficiency [-] Original Piston Quarttet Piston Engine Speed [RPM] 18

19 Extending the dilution limit Gas Lund University COV [%] Cyclic variation Vs. EGR rate / Original Piston Cylinder 1 Cylinder 2 Cylinder 3 Cylinder 4 Cylinder 5 Cylinder 6 COV [%] Cyclic variation Vs.
