Engine Performance And Emissions

Engine downsizing and down-speeding are essential to meet future US fuel economy mandates. While turbocharging has been a critical enabler for downsizing, transient boost response performance remains a concern even with variable geometry turbochargers. This slow build-up of boost and hence torque is commonly referred to as turbo-lag. Mitigation of turbo-lag has, therefore, remained an important objective of turbocharger performance enhancement research. A regenerative, hydraulically assisted turbocharger is one such enhanced turbocharging system that is able regulate the turbocharger speed independent of the available engine exhaust energy. With external power available on the turbocharger shaft, the engine performance and emissions can be managed during both transient and steady-state operations. The key to fully utilizing the ability of such an assisted turbocharger depends on the energy recovered from turbocharger shaft and/or vehicle driveline. Energy available from the turbocharger shaft is dependent on the engine exhaust gas energy. Energy recovered from the driveline depends on vehicle braking energy. A previously developed high-fidelity 1-D simulation of a diesel engine with a regenerative-hydraulically assisted turbocharger is used to investigate the energy availability for a medium duty diesel engine over standard driving cycles. The study shows that the energy recovery from turbocharger shaft is limited and driveline energy recovery is necessary for achieving fuel economy benefits on the order of 4%.

The exhaust energy recovery is significant for engine fuel efficiency. However, the exhaust gas interference and the loss of flow affect the utilization of exhaust energy of multi cylinder turbocharged diesel engine seriously. In this paper, through Particle Image Velocimetry experiment and computational fluid dynamics simulation of exhaust T-junction flow field, the characteristics of junction local flow field and the law of energy loss are obtained. Based on the one dimensional simulation of engine working process, the exhaust available energy analysis is carried out, and the transmission of available energy of exhaust valve and various pipe systems under typical operating conditions is obtained. On this basis, five exhaust systems are designed, and the steady-state and transient performances are compared by bench tests. The results show that the shrinkage rate and the intersection angle of T-junction are the key factors affecting exhaust energy transmission and exhaust gas interference suppression. Reducing the branch pipe shrinkage rate leads to an increase in branch pipe flow loss, but it will also reduce the main pipe flow loss and exhaust gas interference. Reducing the angle between the main pipe and branch pipe is beneficial to the exhaust flow and exhaust energy recovery. The pulse converter exhaust system has a high exhaust available energy transmission rate; the Modular Pulse Converter system has superior fuel efficiency and transient response performance from the perspective of the entire engine operation range. The 90% response time difference between the five studied exhaust systems is about 0.41 s.
