Abstract
As an alternative fuel that can be used in SI engines, LPG is a clean fuel with larger H/C ratio compared to gasoline, low CO2 emission, and small amount of pollutants such as sulfur compounds. In the Spark-ignition (SI) engine, Direct injection (DI) technology can significantly increase the engine volumetric efficiency and decrease the need for a throttle valve. DI allows engine operation with the stratified charge, which enables a relatively higher combustion efficiency. Stratified charge can be supplied to nearby spark plugs to allow for overall lean combustion, which improves thermal efficiency and can cope with problems regarding emission regulations. In this study, a visualization experiment system that consists of visualization combustion chamber, air supply control system, emission control system, LPG fuel supply system, electronic control system and image data acquisition system was designed and manufactured. For all cases for which ignition was successful, flame propagation image was digitally recorded using ICCD camera, and the recorded flame propagation characteristics were examined. This study, in its results, is expected to make a contribution in terms of important data for the design and optimization of a Spark-ignited direct injection (SIDI) LPG engine.
