Abstract

Abstract The proposed paper deals with an optimization of a highly-turbocharged large-bore gas SI engine. Only steady state operation (constant engine speed and load) is considered. The paper is mainly focused on theoretical potential of 2-stage turbocharging concept in terms of performance and limitation. The results are obtained by means of simulation using complex 0-D/ 1-D engine model including the control algorithm. Different mixture composition concepts are considered to satisfy different levels of NOx limit - fresh air mixed with external cooled EGR is supposed to be the right approach while optimal EGR level is to be found. Considering EGR circuit, 5 different layouts are tested to select the best design. As the engine control is relatively complex (2-sage turbocharger group, external EGR, compressor blow-by, controlled air excess), 5 different control means of boost pressure were considered. Each variant based on above mentioned options is optimized in terms of compressor/turbine size (swallowing capacity) to obtain the best possible BSFC. The optimal variants are compared and general conclusions are drawn.
