Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of aromatics and T90 temperature for high cetane number (CN) of diesel fuels on combustion and exhaust emissions in low-temperature diesel combustion in a 1.9 L common rail direct injection diesel engine at 1500 rpm and 2.6 bar BMEP. Four sets of fuels with CN 55, aromatic content of 20% or 45% (vol. %), and T90 temperature of $270^{\circ}C$ or $340^{\circ}C$ were tested. Given engine operating conditions, all the fuels showed the same tendency of decrease of PM with an increase of an ignition delay time. At the same ignition delay time, the fuels with high T90 produced higher PM. At the same MFB50% location the amount of NOx was similar for all the fuels. Furthermore, at the same ignition delay time the amounts of THC and CO were similar as well for all the fuels. The amount of THC and CO increased with an extension of the ignition delay time mainly because of the increase of fuel-air over-mixing.

1.9L 커먼레일 직접분사 디젤 엔진을 이용하여 1500rpm 2.6bar BMEP 에서 다량의 EGR(약 41%)과 연료분사 제어를 통한 저온디젤연소 영역에서 연료의 특성이 연소와 배기가스에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 사용한 연료는 세탄가 55 에 대하여 방향족 성분(20%, 45%, vol. %)과 T90 온도($270^{\circ}C$, $340^{\circ}C$)의 조합으로 네 개이다. 주어진 실험 조건에서 모든 연료에 대하여 착화지연 기간이 증가함에 따라 PM 은 단조적으로 저감되었다. 동일한 착화지연 기간에 대하여 T90 온도가 높은 연료들의 PM 발생이 높았다. NOx 는 동일한 MFB50% 위치에서 모든 연료가 동등 수준이었다. THC, CO 발생은 연료 조성에 관계없이 동일한 착화지연 기간에 대하여 동등 수준이었다. 또한 착화지연 기간 증가에 따라 THC, CO 배출이 증가하였는데 이는 과혼합 증가가 주 원인으로 판단된다.
