Cycle-by-Cycle In-cylinder HC & NOx Formation Characteristics with Port Masking in CVVT Engine
포트 마스킹과 흡기 밸브 타이밍이 실린더 내부의 싸이클별 HC와 NOx 생성에 미치는 영향
Abstract
This paper investigated the behaviors of combustion characteristics at part load condition with various intake charge motions induced by the port masking schemes in the CVVT (Continuously Variable valve Timing) engine. Time resolved in-cylinder and exhaust emissions were measured by the fast response HC and NOx analyzers to examine their formation mechanisms and behavior characteristics. As a result, in-cylinder HC decreased with the advanced intake valve timings but HC at the exhaust port increased due to the worse combustion stabilities. However HC reduction could be achieved by the application of the port maskings with a enhancement of the engine stability. NOx also decreased with early intake timings by internal EGR but increased with the charge motion controls which enhance the combustion behavior.
