Abstract

In this paper, the effects of the injection timing, the injection pressure and the engine load on the combustion noise of a pilot-ignited direct-injection natural-gas engine were explored by analysing the separate components of the in-cylinder pressure. The results suggested that retarding the injection timing and reducing the injection pressure are effective ways of controlling the combustion noise. This can be attributed to the promoted burning rate at advanced injection timings and to the increased injection pressure. However, the effect of the engine load seems to be less obvious, although the resonance pressure level appears to increase with increasing engine load; the estimated combustion noise shows a decreasing tendency.
