Abstract

Investigation of Split Flash Boiling Injection Schemes in a constant volume chamber and an optical GDI engine under lean combustion condition

Highlights

  • The use of flash boiling fuel atomization is considered a viable path in further improving the combustion efficiency and reduce emission for practical combustors[1]. Such a capability is quite desirable under increasingly stringent regulations for applications such as gasoline direct injection (GDI) engine powertrains

  • There have been many investigations on spray morphologies and characteristics in constant volume chamber tests, and the results have demonstrated that flash boiling atomization is able to improve fuel-air mixing[2], reducing droplet size [3], reducing spray-wall impingement fuel film formation [4, 5], etc

  • The conclusions are listed as follows: 1. The air entrainment of flash boiling spray plume is much stronger compared with subcooled spray plume

Summary

Introduction

The use of flash boiling fuel atomization is considered a viable path in further improving the combustion efficiency and reduce emission for practical combustors[1]. Flash boiling atomization; Gasoline direct injection engines; Optical engine; Split injection Kabasin et al [12] used an integrated heated fuel injector for ethanol direct injection engines, and it was found that flash boiling effects notably improved spray breakup and cold-start performance. The work of Yang et al explored flash boiling spray applications under engine cold-start conditions[2, 15, 16].
