New Type

Turbine Air Powered Engine (TAPE) is a new type engine which has the character of zero emission, no pollution. Mathematical models of TAPE were established by the method of exergy analysis, the overall exergy and the exergy loss after reduced pressure with throttling were simulated in this paper. The results show that the maximum exergy loss of system is 60% during the process of reduced pressure with throttling, so the type of throttling decompression is not suitable for the system of TAPE which has bigger pressure reducing ratio. The results of bench test indicate that output power increases with the increase of inlet pressure within the scope of less pressure, and the regulation is similar to the simulating result. In the hybrid system of pneumatic internal-combustion engine, the measure which the air powered system is used in low-speed stage and the internal combustion engine powered system is adopted in high-speed stage can effectively solve the problem which the fuel consumption of the internal combustion engine is too bigger at low speed.

Turbocharging can provide a cost effective means for increasing the power output and fuel economy of an internal combustion engine. A turbocharger added to an internal combustion engine consists of a coupled turbine and compressor. Currently, turbocharging is common in multi-cylinder engines, but it is not commonly used on single-cylinder engines due to the phase mismatch between the exhaust stroke (when the turbocharger is powered) and the intake stroke (when the engine intakes the compressed air). The proposed method adds an air capacitor, an additional volume in series with the intake manifold, between the turbocharger compressor and the engine intake, to buffer the output from the turbocharger compressor and deliver pressurized air during the intake stroke. This research builds on previous work where it was shown experimentally that a power gain of 29% was achievable and that analytically a power gain of 40–60% was possible using a turbocharger and air capacitor system. The goal of this study is to further analyze the commercial viability of this technology by analyzing the effect of air capacitor turbocharging on emissions, fuel economy, and power density. An experiment was built and conducted that looked at how air capacitor sizing affected emissions, fuel economy, and the equivalence ratio. The experimental data was then used to calibrate a computational model built in Ricardo Wave. Finally this model was used to evaluate strategies to further improve the performance of a single cylinder diesel turbocharged engine with an air capacitor.
