This book focuses on gasoline compression ignition (GCI) which offers the prospect of engines with high efficiency and low exhaust emissions at a lower cost. A GCI engine is a compression ignition (CI) engine which is run on gasoline-like fuels (even on low-octane gasoline), making it significantly easier to control particulates and NOx but with high efficiency. The state of the art development to make GCI combustion feasible on practical vehicles is highlighted, e.g., on overcoming problems on cold start, high-pressure rise rates at high loads, transients, and HC and CO emissions. This book will be a useful guide to those in academia and industry.
Various combinations of commercially available technologies could greatly reduce fuel consumption in passenger cars, sport-utility vehicles, minivans, and other light-duty vehicles without compromising vehicle performance or safety. Assessment of Technologies for Improving Light Duty Vehicle Fuel Economy estimates the potential fuel savings and costs to consumers of available technology combinations for three types of engines: spark-ignition gasoline, compression-ignition diesel, and hybrid. According to its estimates, adopting the full combination of improved technologies in medium and large cars and pickup trucks with spark-ignition engines could reduce fuel consumption by 29 percent at an additional cost of $2,200 to the consumer. Replacing spark-ignition engines with diesel engines and components would yield fuel savings of about 37 percent at an added cost of approximately $5,900 per vehicle, and replacing spark-ignition engines with hybrid engines and components would reduce fuel consumption by 43 percent at an increase of $6,000 per vehicle. The book focuses on fuel consumption-the amount of fuel consumed in a given driving distance-because energy savings are directly related to the amount of fuel used. In contrast, fuel economy measures how far a vehicle will travel with a gallon of fuel. Because fuel consumption data indicate money saved on fuel purchases and reductions in carbon dioxide emissions, the book finds that vehicle stickers should provide consumers with fuel consumption data in addition to fuel economy information.
Varying the fuel stratification during gasoline compression ignition (GCI) combustion has been shown to impact important combustion parameters and emissions. The effect of varied injection pressure and injection timing on the fuel stratification and formation of nitric oxide (NOx) emissions was studied at two engine operating conditions. At a 1500 revolutions per minute (rpm) engine condition, a 100 bar increase in injection pressure required a 1.4o crankangle retard of the injection timing to maintain constant NOx emissions. The required injection timing shift to maintain constant NOx emissions at a 1900 rpm condition for a 100 bar increase in injection pressure was 2.5o crankangle. A skip-firing injection strategy illustrated the importance of the second injection in creating fuel stratification and promoting ignition for GCI combustion. The effects of injected fuel mass variability on combustion stability were investigated using a randomized injection strategy. Analysis showed that the injected fuel mass uncertainty required to induce combustion instability was between 3.2-4.8%. Three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and a one-dimensional (1-D) turbulent jet model were used to analyze the fuel-air mixing. A quasi-steady jet timescale was used to non-dimesionalize the time after start of injection. The ability of the timescale to collapse the jet vapor penetration and fuel-mass-weighted PDF of mixture fraction/equivalence ratio were evaluated for a variety of conditions at times significantly after end of injection. The quasi-steady jet timescale reasonably collapsed jet vapor penetration for various injection pressures but did not collapse the fuel-mass-weighted PDFs of equivalence ratio at times of interest during transient changes to the ambient gas density unless changes in spray spreading angle are accounted for. The 1-D jet model was benchmarked to CFD and evaluated at different conditions to analyze the assumptions of the 1-D model. A sensitivity analysis of the 1-D model was conducted. The 3-D CFD results are utilized to analyze the connection between the fuel-air distribution and the engine-out NOx emissions at the constant-NOx engine operating conditions. Computational fluid dynamics results showed similar equivalence ratio distributions resulted in relatively constant NOx emissions.
The process of fuel injection, spray atomization and vaporization, charge cooling, mixture preparation and the control of in-cylinder air motion are all being actively researched and this work is reviewed in detail and analyzed. The new technologies such as high-pressure, common-rail, gasoline injection systems and swirl-atomizing gasoline fuel injections are discussed in detail, as these technologies, along with computer control capabilities, have enabled the current new examination of an old objective; the direct-injection, stratified-charge (DISC), gasoline engine. The prior work on DISC engines that is relevant to current GDI engine development is also reviewed and discussed. The fuel economy and emission data for actual engine configurations have been obtained and assembled for all of the available GDI literature, and are reviewed and discussed in detail. The types of GDI engines are arranged in four classifications of decreasing complexity, and the advantages and disadvantages of each class are noted and explained. Emphasis is placed upon consensus trends and conclusions that are evident when taken as a whole; thus the GDI researcher is informed regarding the degree to which engine volumetric efficiency and compression ratio can be increased under optimized conditions, and as to the extent to which unburned hydrocarbon (UBHC), NOx and particulate emissions can be minimized for specific combustion strategies. The critical area of GDI fuel injector deposits and the associated effect on spray geometry and engine performance degradation are reviewed, and important system guidelines for minimizing deposition rates and deposit effects are presented. The capabilities and limitations of emission control techniques and after treatment hardware are reviewed in depth, and a compilation and discussion of areas of consensus on attaining European, Japanese and North American emission standards presented. All known research, prototype and production GDI engines worldwide are reviewed as to performance, emissions and fuel economy advantages, and for areas requiring further development. The engine schematics, control diagrams and specifications are compiled, and the emission control strategies are illustrated and discussed. The influence of lean-NOx catalysts on the development of late-injection, stratified-charge GDI engines is reviewed, and the relative merits of lean-burn, homogeneous, direct-injection engines as an option requiring less control complexity are analyzed.
