Turbochargers are a key technology for reducing the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions of heavy-duty internal combustion engines by enabling greater power density, which is essential for engine downsizing and downspeeding. This in turn raises turbine expansion ratio levels and drives the shift to air systems with multiple stages, which also implies the need for interconnecting ducting, all of which is subject to tight packaging constraints. This paper considers the challenges in the aerodynamic optimization of the exhaust side of a two-stage air system for a Caterpillar 4.4-litre heavy-duty diesel engine, focusing on the high pressure turbine wheel and interstage duct. Using the current production designs as a baseline, a genetic algorithm-based aerodynamic optimization process was carried out separately for the wheel and duct components in order to minimize the computational effort required to evaluate seven key operating points. While efficiency was a clear choice for the cost function for turbine wheel optimization, the most appropriate objective for interstage duct optimization was less certain, and so this paper also explores the resulting effect of optimizing the duct design for different objectives. Results of the optimization generated differing turbine wheel and interstage duct designs depending on the corresponding operating point, thus it was important to check the performance of these components at every other operating point, in order to determine the most appropriate designs to carry forward. Once the best compromise high pressure turbine wheel and interstage duct designs were chosen, prototypes of both were manufactured and then tested together against the baseline designs to validate the CFD predictions. The best performing high pressure turbine design, wheel A, was predicted to show an efficiency improvement of 2.15 percentage points, for on-design operation. Meanwhile, the optimized interstage duct contributed a 0.2 and 0.5 percentage-point efficiency increase for the high and low pressure turbines, respectively.

Heavy Duty Diesel

An experimental study was performed to investigate fuel property effects on premixed charge compression ignition (PCCI) combustion in a heavy-duty diesel engine. A matrix of research diesel fuels designed by the Coordinating Research Council, referred to as the Fuels for Advanced Combustion Engines (FACE), was used. The fuel matrix design covers a wide range of cetane numbers (30 to 55), 90% distillation temperatures (270 to 340 °C) and aromatics content (20 to 45%). The fuels were tested in a single-cylinder Caterpillar diesel engine equipped with a common-rail fuel injection system. The engine was operated at 900 rpm, a relative air/fuel ratio of 1.2 and 60% exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) for all fuels. The study was limited to a single fuel injection event starting between −30° and 0 °CA after top dead center (aTDC) with a rail pressure of 150 MPa. The brake mean effective pressure (BMEP) ranged from 2.6 to 3.1 bar depending on the fuel and its injection timing. The experimental results show that cetane number was the most important fuel property affecting PCCI combustion behavior. The low cetane number fuels had better brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) due to more optimized combustion phasing and shorter combustion duration. They also had a longer ignition delay period available for premixing, which led to near-zero soot emissions. The two fuels with high cetane number and high 90% distillation temperature produced significant soot emissions. The two fuels with high cetane number and high aromatics produced the highest brake specific NOx emissions, although the absolute values were below 0.1 g/kW-h. Brake specific HC and CO emissions were primarily a function of the combustion phasing, but the low cetane number fuels had slightly higher HC and lower CO emissions than the high cetane number fuels.

The two fuels with high cetane number and high 90% distillation temperature produced significant soot emissions when the start of combustion occurred before the end of fuel injection. The two fuels with high cetane number and high aromatics produced the highest brake specific NOx emissions, although the absolute values were below 0.1 g/kW-hr. Brake specific HC and CO emissions were primarily a function of the combustion phasing, but the low cetane number fuels had slightly higher HC and lower CO emissions than the high cetane number fuels.
