Searching for further reduction of fuel consumption simultaneously with the reduction of toxic compounds emission new systems for lean-mixture combustion for SI engines are being discussed by many manufacturers. Within the European GasOn-Project (Gas Only Internal Combustion Engines) the two-stage combustion and Turbulent Jet Ignition concept for CNG-fuelled high speed engine has been proposed and thoroughly investigated where the reduction of gas consumption and increasing of engine efficiency together with the reduction of emission, especially CO2 was expected. In the investigated cases the lean-burn combustion process was conducted with selection of the most effective pre-combustion chamber. The experimental investigations have been performed on single-cylinder AVL5804 research engine, which has been modified to SI and CNG fuelling. For the analysis of the thermodynamic, operational and emission indexes very advanced equipment has been applied. Based on the measuring results achieved for different pre-chamber config-urations the extended methodology of polioptimization by pre-chamber selection and the shape of main chamber in the piston crown for proposed combustion system has been described and discussed. The results of the three versions of the optimization methods have been comparatively summarized in conclusions.

This paper deals with the very last activities carried out by EnginSoft in the frame of the EU funded research programme NEWAC. The work regards the pre-production numerical tests performed on the single annular combustor with the purpose of verify its performance in reactive frame. The core of this study is the innovative lean-burn injection system technology, developed by University of Karlsruhe and AVIO for medium OPR. Such device has been widely investigated in previous activities in order to optimise the combustor layout and the numerical procedure for this work [1].

This paper presents the rationale behind a fast burn high compression ratio (FBHCR) combustion system intended for use in a lean burn natural gas engine. Comparisons are made between the FBHCR combustion system, predictions made by a two-zone combustion model and measurements from the original combustion system, for the brake efficiency, brake mean effective pressure and the brake specific NOx emissions. Experimental measurements of the unburnt hydrocarbon emissions, the burn duration and the cycle-by-cycle variations in combustion are also discussed from the two combustion systems. The results show how the conflicting aims of low emissions and low fuel consumption can be satisfied by using a lean burn combustion system. A comparison is also made between the following ways of expressing the exhaust emissions: volumetric, brake specific, mass per megajoule of fuel and gravimetric referenced to a specified oxygen level.

This paper describes an approach to utilize sewage digester gas as a fuel for gas turbines. Sewage digester gas is composed of about 60% methane and 39% carbon dioxide. To apply it as a gas turbine fuel requires optimizing the combustion system to improve the combustion efficiency, flame-holding characteristics, etc. This paper presents an approach whereby a mass-produced microturbine and its peripheral equipment can be converted for such application with a minimum of modification and without the use of extraordinary combustors. The approach is described whereby a recuperative cycle microturbine having rich-burn, quick-mix, lean-burn (RQL) combustor is started up with a high-Btu fuel and the fuel is switched to digester gas when the inlet-air has been preheated to 600K or higher. This approach has proven that reliable starting, stable operation from idling to the rated power output, and efficiency equivalent to that obtained with a high-Btu fuel, can be achieved by the microturbine utilizing sewage digester gas.

The combustion instabilities in a lean-burn natural gas engine have been studied. Using statistical analysis, phase-space reconstruction, and wavelet transforms, the effect of port gas injection on the dynamics of the indicated mean effective pressure (IMEP) fluctuations have been examined at a speed of 800[Formula: see text]rpm and engine load rates of 25% and 50%. The excessive air coefficient is 1.6 for each engine load, and the port gas injection timing (PGIT) ranges from 1 to 120 degrees of crankshaft angle ([Formula: see text]CA) after top dead center (ATDC) of the intake process. The results show that the PGIT has a significant effect on cyclic combustion fluctuations and the dynamics of the combustion system for all studied engine loads. An unreasonable PGIT leads to increased combustion fluctuations, and loosened and bifurcated structures of combustion system attractors. Furthermore, for both low and medium engine loads, the IMEP time series at earlier gas injections ([Formula: see text]CA and [Formula: see text]CA ATDC) undergoes low-frequency fluctuation together with high-frequency fluctuations in an intermittent fashion. For other PGITs, high-frequency intermittent fluctuations become persistent combined with weak low-frequency oscillations. Our results can be used to understand the oscillation characteristics and the complex dynamics of combustion system in a lean-burn natural gas engine. In addition, they may also be beneficial to the development of more sophisticated engine control strategies.

Injection Strategies

The working process of a lean burn natural gas spark ignition engine was simulated with a 3-D CFD software package AVL-FIRE. Such simulations were made to analyze and understand the flow field, fuel/air mixture distribution, ignition and flame propagation. The simulations provide basis for the optimization of the combustion system of the engine. Two injection strategies for the pre-chamber enrichment were established and compared. The results indicate that with enrichment injection in the pre-chamber, the fuel/air equivalence ratio is precisely controlled in the range of 1.0 to 1.1, stable ignition in the pre-chamber is ensured, and fast initial flame propagation in main combustion chamber is realized.
