This paper presents a novel monitoring approach to diesel engine combustion based on acoustic measurement of exhaust systems. It investigates the acoustic characteristics from the measurements of individual sensors and their combination based on a linear one port acoustic source model. It has been found that the strength, in terms of pressure, of the acoustic source gives a more accurate representation of engine acoustics because it is obtained by minimizing the reflection effects in the exhaust system. Therefore, the pressure waveform produces more accurate monitoring results for abnormal combustions such as those caused by faults in engine fuel injection systems.

Injection Control

Diesel engine fuel injection control is presented as a feedback based online optimization problem. Extremum seeking (ES) approach is used to address the online optimization formulation. The cost function is synthesized from extensive experimental investigations such that the indicated thermal efficiency of the engine is maximized while minimizing the NOx emissions under external boundary conditions. Knowledge of the physical combustion and emission formation process based on a pre-calibrated non-linear engine model output is used to determine the ES initial control input to minimize the seeking time. The control is demonstrated on a hardware-in-the-loop engine simulator bench.

In this paper, in order to handle the nonlinear system and the sophisticated disturbance in the marine engine, a finite-time convergence control method is proposed for the diesel engine rotating speed control. First, the mean value model is established for the diesel engine, which can represent response of engine fuel injection to engine speed. Then, in order to deal with parameter perturbation and load disturbance of the marine diesel engine, a finite-time convergence active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) is proposed. At the last, simulation experiments are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed controller under the different load disturbances for the 7RT-Flex60C marine diesel engine. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed control scheme has better control effect and stronger anti-interference ability than the linear ADRC.

Numerical Investigation of Effect Pilot Injection on Combustion Noise and Exhaust Emission of Diesel Engine The traditional mechanical fuel supply system has already been no way to satisfy the requirement of more stringent fuel consumption and emission legislation. For the past few years, it has been a hot topic to improve performance of diesel engine combustion and emission through optimizing the fuel injection strategy. All kinds of spray, combustion and emission models were studied and then the numerical models for the single-injection combustion of 1015 diesel engine were setup and validated through comparing with results from experimental data. With the above verified models, different injection strategies were further investigated to get the effect mechanism of pilot injection (PI) timing and quantity on combustion noise and exhaust emission.

Simulation Results

In order to improve the performance of the diesel engine, the original engine fuel injection advance angle is optimized, and a new advance angle of fuel injection is proposed in this paper. By numerical calculation with simulation of software FIRE, the effect of different combustion chamber structures on the cylinder pressure, temperature, accumulated heat release and the parameters such as NOx mass fraction was analyzed. From the simulation results, the optimized fuel injection advance angle had greatly improved the diesel combustion and emission performance. Finally, via experimental verification, the engine with optimized fuel injection advance angle has better dynamic performance, as well as less emission than original machine.

A mathematical model for predicting spray–swirl interaction in a direct injection diesel engine combustion chamber is developed using centre-line velocity vector/continuum approach. The model has three-dimensional features in fuel spray motion. The present model responds to the various air swirl, fuel injection and cylinder charge conditions. The predicted results are compared with the analytical and experimental data available from various sources in the two-dimensional case. Very good agreement is achieved over a wide range of data. The three-dimensional predictions are directly possible without any alteration in the computation scheme.

Diesel Fuel Injection

Diesel engines are widely used due to their high reliability, high thermal efficiency, fuel availability, and low consumption. They are used to generate power, e.g., in passenger cars, ships, power plants, marine offshore platforms, and mining and construction machines. The engine is at heart of these applications, so keeping it in good working condition is vital. Recent technical and computational advances and environmental legislation have stimulated the development of more efficient and robust techniques for the diagnostics of diesel engines. The emphasis is on the diagnostics of faults under development and the causes of engine failure or reduced efficiency. Diesel engine fuel injection plays an important role in the development of the combustion in the engine cylinder. Arguably, the most influential component of the diesel engine is the fuel injection equipment; even minor faults can cause a major loss of efficiency of the combustion and an increase in engine emissions and noise. With increased sophistication (e.g., higher injection pressures) being required to meet continuously improving noise, exhaust smoke, and gaseous emission regulations, fuel injection equipment is becoming even more susceptible to failure. The injection systems have been shown to be the largest contributing factor in diesel engine failures. Extracting the health information of components in the fuel injection system is a very demanding task. Besides the very time-consuming nature of experimental investigations, direct measurements are also limited to selected observation points. Diesel engine faults normally do not occur in a short timeframe. The modeling of typical engine faults, particularly combustion related faults, in a controlled manner is thus vital for the development of diesel engine diagnostics and fault detection. Simulation models based on physical grounds can enlarge the number of studied variables and also obtain a better understanding of localized phenomena that affect the overall behavior of the system. This paper presents a survey of the analysis, modeling, and diagnostics of diesel fuel injection systems. Typical diesel fuel injection systems and their common faults are presented. The most relevant state of the art research articles on analysis and modeling of fluid injection systems as well as diagnostics techniques and measured signals describing the behavior of the system are reviewed and the results and findings are discussed. The increasing demand and effect of legislation related to diagnostics, especially on-board diagnostics (OBD), are discussed with reference to the future progress of this field.
