Effects of Form and Angle of Precombustion Chamber on Performance of Agricultural Diesel Engine

예연소실(豫燃燒室)의 형상(形狀)이 농용(農用) 디이젤엔진의 성능(性能)에 미치는 영향(影響)

This study was conducted to determine whether or not the form and angle of the precombustion chamber affected the performance of agricultural diesel engines. Twenty different types of precombustion chambers were designed and tested using a two way classification with four individual tests. The output power and specific fuel consumption ratio at full load were measured and analyzed. The results of the study were summarized as follows; 1. The diameter of main passageway giving the best power output and specific fuel consumption ratio at full load was between 5.8 and 6.1mm. The ratio of area of main passageway bore to that of piston head was from 0.4 to 0.44 percent at the highest engine power. 2. The angle of main passageway giving the best power output and specific fuel consumption ratio at full load was between 41 and 43 degrees. 3. The change of the diameter of main passageway affected the output of engine more significantly than the change of angle, however, on the specific fuel consumption ratio the angle of main passageway had more effect than the diameter.
