Variable Compression

Variable compression ratio (VCR) technology has long been recognized as a method for improving the engine performance, efficiency, and fuel economy of automobiles, with reduced emissions. In this paper, a novel hydraulic continuous VCR system based on the principle of an adjustable hydraulic volume is introduced. The continuous variable compression ratio of the VCR system is realized by the hydraulic system controlling the rotation of the eccentric pin to change the positions of the top dead center (TDC) and the bottom dead center (BDC). The construction of the mathematical model and simulation model of the VCR system is also presented in this paper. The piston motion characteristics, flow characteristics, and pressure characteristics of the hydraulic system of the VCR system at different engine speeds and adjustment quantities are studied by simulation in this paper. The simulation results show that the VCR system has a fast response and good dynamic characteristics, and can achieve continuous adjustment of the compression ratio.

Variable Compression

A variable compression ratio concept that can give a different expansion ratio to the compression ratio has been evaluated by means of a simulation of a turbocharged diesel engine. The compression ratio is controlled by varying the ratio of the connecting rod length to the crank throw, hence the name variable crank radius/connecting rod length engine (VR/LE). The VR/LE mechanism kinematics have been defined and described, and the compression ratio and expansion ratio have been presented as a function of the eccentric phase angle (αo). A zero-dimensional engine simulation that has been the subject of comprehensive validation has been used as the basis of the VR/LE study. The effect of the compression ratio on the engine performance at fixed loads is presented. The principal benefits are a reduction in fuel consumption at part load of about 2 per cent and a reduction in ignition delay that leads to an estimated 6 dB reduction in combustion noise. The study has been conducted within the assumption of a maximum cylinder pressure of 160 bar.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to assess the influence of blends of Jatropha methyl ester (JME) and its nano Al2O3 emulsion on variable compression ratio diesel engine. The oxygen in alumina contributed for the smooth burning and resulted in improved performance and emissions. Design/Methodology/Approach The biodiesel (methyl ester) is prepared from the raw Jatropha oil. The B10, B20 and B30 blends of and their nanoemulsions are prepared with the 25, 50, 75 and 100 ppm of nano Al2O3. The prepared JME blends and its nanoemulsions are tested in a variable compression ratio (VCR) diesel engine to evaluate the engine performance and emission characteristics. Findings The nanoemulsion B20 + 50 ppm has given maximum brake thermal efficiency (BTE), and with the increased proportion of nanoparticle, the BTE was reduced. Also, the specific fuel consumption is lowest (0.2826 kg/kWh) for B20 + 50 ppm at the compression ratio 16.5 and full load which is 4.10% lower than the diesel and 5.8% lower than the B20 blend. As the load increases, NOx emission increases owing to higher peak temperatures in the combustion chamber. The JME-nano Al2O3 emulsion reduces the HC and CO emission compared with all other fuels. Originality/Value Novel nano emulsions are prepared, characterized and tested on VCR engine.
