Abstract
In the condition of constant speed and light load, an experimental study of a turbocharged and intercooled diesel engine with exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system focuses on the influence of different EGR rates on combustion process, dynamic performance, economic performance and emission performance of a diesel engine. With the increase of EGR rate, the oxygen concentration of the intake-side decreases, the fuel air equivalence ratio increases, and the maximum explosion pressure in the cylinder decreases. Meanwhile, the average temperature in the cylinder drops, the ignition delay is prolonged, the ignition timing delays, and the maximum heat release rate decreases. The increase of EGR rate makes NOx emissions decrease obviously and continue to decline. When EGR is low, the smoke rate enlarges slowly with the increase of EGR rate, and enlarges greatly at the rate higher than 43% and reaches the maximum at the rate of 57%. When EGR rate is higher than 61%, the smoke rate drops rapidly, and the content of CO and hydrocarbon (HC) increases rapidly with high EGR rate.
