Technical Specifications

For the type approval of compression ignition (diesel) and gasoline direct injection vehicles, a particle number (PN) limit of 6 × 1011 p/km is applicable. Diesel vehicles in circulation need to pass a periodical technical inspection (PTI) test, typically every two years, after the first four years of circulation. However, often the applicable smoke tests or on-board diagnostic (OBD) fault checks cannot identify malfunctions of the diesel particulate filters (DPFs). There are also serious concerns that a few high emitters are responsible for the majority of the emissions. For these reasons, a new PTI procedure at idle run with PN systems is under investigation. The correlations between type approval cycles and idle emissions are limited, especially for positive (spark) ignition vehicles. In this study the type approval PN emissions of 32 compression ignition and 56 spark ignition vehicles were compared to their idle PN concentrations from laboratory and on-road tests. The results confirmed that the idle test is applicable for diesel vehicles. The scatter for the spark ignition vehicles was much larger. Nevertheless, the proposed limit for diesel vehicles was also shown to be applicable for these vehicles. The technical specifications of the PTI sensors based on these findings were also discussed.

Homogeneous Charge

The hybrid combustion mode is an ideal operation strategy for a gasoline homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engine. A stable and smooth spark ignition (SI)/HCCI switch has been an issue in the research on multimode combustion. In this paper, the switch process has two key issues; the cam profile and throttle opening. With the developed two-stage cam system, the valve phase strategy can be switched within one engine cycle, from the normal cam profile for the SI mode to a negative valve overlap (NVO) profile for the HCCI mode, or vice versa. For a smoother and more stable switch, the throttle change was separated from the cam profile switch, which was called the stepped switch. The effect of throttle opening on HCCI combustion was studied, and the results showed that the concept of the stepped switch was reliable. With gasoline direct injection (GDI) the combustion mode switches from both SI and HCCI sides were smooth, rapid, and robust, without any abnormal combustion such as knocking and misfiring.

Abstract This study demonstrates the effects of technologies applied for the development of gasoline direct injection (GDI) engine for improving the brake thermal efficiency (BTE). The test engine has a relatively high stroke to bore ratio of 1.4 with a displacement of 2156 cm3. All experiments have been conducted for stoichiometric operation at 2000 RPM. First, since compression ratio (CR) is directly related to the thermal efficiency, four CR were explored for operation without exhaust gas recirculation (EGR). Then, for the same four CR, EGR was used to suppress the knock occurrence at high loads, and its effect on initial and main combustion duration was compared. Second, the shape of intake port was revised to increase tumble flow for reducing combustion duration, and extending EGR-stability limit further. Then, as an effective method to ensure stable combustion for EGR-diluted stoichiometric operation, the use of twin spark ignition (SI) system is examined by modifying both valve diameters of intake and exhaust, and its effect is compared against that of single spark ignition. In addition, the layout of twin spark ignition was also examined for the location of front-rear and intake-exhaust. To get the maximum BTE at high load, 12 V electronic super charger (eSC) was applied. Under the condition of using 12 V eSC, the effect of intake cam duration was identified by increasing from 260 deg to 280 deg. Finally, 48 V eSC was applied with the longer intake camshaft duration of 280 deg. As a result, the maximum BTE of 44% can be achieved for stoichiometric operation with EGR.
