Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the combustion system of internal combustion engines, and particularly relates to a pre-chamber system and a control method based on high-pressure dual direct injection of ammonia and hydrogen. Background Art

[0002] Internal combustion engines are the most widely used leading power equipment in the national economy and national defense construction, consuming more than 60% of the world's petroleum and releasing 25% of the global carbon emissions. They are one of the main sources of air pollution. To save energy and reduce carbon emissions, zero-carbon fuels, green ammonia and green hydrogen, have gradually attracted the attention of the academic and industrial communities. Compared with hydrogen, ammonia has the advantages of high volumetric energy density, high hydrogen storage density, and convenient storage and transportation. However, ammonia has problems such as difficult ignition and slow flame propagation speed. The combustion characteristics of ammonia are improved by using the jet flame of a hydrogen pre-chamber to ignite ammonia. The pre-chamber is mostly cooled by air cooling, and the cooling effect is poor. Coupled with the high combustion temperature of hydrogen, the hydrogen injector in the pre-chamber is prone to ablation. In addition, to supply hydrogen fuel to the pre-chamber, an additional hydrogen storage tank needs to be carried, making the fuel supply system more complex and the risk factor higher. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the above-mentioned prior art, the present invention provides a pre-chamber system and a control method based on high-pressure dual direct injection of ammonia and hydrogen, which can solve the problem of ablation of the injector in the pre-chamber and use an ammonia on-line reforming hydrogen production system to meet the hydrogen fuel demand of the pre-chamber. In the present invention, the temperature of the pre-chamber is controlled by external water cooling of the pre-chamber and endothermic vaporization of liquid ammonia inside the pre-chamber, thereby solving the problem of ablation of the injector in the pre-chamber. Another object of the present invention is to use an ammonia reforming hydrogen production subsystem to provide reformed gas for the pre-chamber on-line, simplify the fuel supply system, and solve the problem of difficult ignition during the cold start stage of an ammonia engine.

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, a pre-chamber system based on high-pressure dual direct injection of ammonia and hydrogen proposed by the present invention includes a pre-chamber subsystem, an ammonia reforming hydrogen production subsystem, and a pre-chamber electronic control subsystem;

[0032] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but the following embodiments are by no means any limitation to the present invention.

[0033] A pre-chamber system based on ammonia-hydrogen high-pressure dual direct injection proposed by the present invention mainly includes a pre-chamber subsystem 2, an ammonia reforming hydrogen production subsystem 3, and a pre-chamber electronic control subsystem. Figure 1 shows the overall structural schematic diagram of the pre-chamber system based on ammonia-hydrogen high-pressure dual direct injection of the present invention; Figure 2 shows the structural schematic diagram of the pre-chamber subsystem therein; Figure 3 shows Figure 2 the A-A sectional schematic diagram of the pre-chamber subsystem in

[0034] As Figures 1 to 3As shown, the pre-combustion chamber subsystem 2 includes a pre-combustion chamber, the chamber wall of the pre-combustion chamber includes a pre-combustion outer sleeve 5 and a pre-combustion inner sleeve 6, the pre-combustion chamber is provided with a high-pressure dual direct injection injector 9, a spark plug 10 and a temperature sensor 11, and ten cooling water channels 13 are circumferentially arranged in the space between the pre-combustion outer sleeve 5 and the pre-combustion inner sleeve 6. The ten cooling water channels 13 are divided into two groups according to the five cooling water channels 13 adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction. The positions of the series ports of adjacent cooling water channels 13 in the same group are arranged alternately according to the upper and lower intervals. The five cooling water channels 13 in the same group of cooling water channels can be The cooling water channel connecting cavity 14 is connected in series, that is, each group of five cooling water channels 13 is axially evenly arranged in an N-shaped manner on the outer wall of the precombustion chamber and connected to each other. The cooling water channel connecting cavity 14 connects two adjacent cooling water channels 13, and two groups (that is, all) of cooling water channels share a cooling water inlet 7 and a cooling water outlet 8. The cooling water inlet 7 and the cooling water outlet 8 are both located at the top of the precombustion chamber. The cooling water inlet 7 and the cooling water outlet 8 are connected to the engine cooling system, and a cooling water electric flow regulating valve 12 is provided on the water inlet pipe to control the cooling water flow. The cooling water from the engine flows into the cooling water channel 13 of the precombustion chamber after the flow is controlled by the cooling water electric flow regulating valve 12, and flows back to the engine after absorbing the heat of the precombustion chamber. The high-pressure dual direct injection injector 9 is located at the center of the precombustion chamber. Figure 4 The internal piping structure of the high-pressure dual direct injection injector in the present invention is shown. The high-pressure dual direct injection injector 9 includes a reforming gas pipeline 902 and a liquid ammonia pipeline 903 which are arranged in the injector body 901 and are independent of each other. The spark plug 10 is installed laterally in the pre-combustion chamber. The temperature sensor 11 is installed vertically in the pre-combustion chamber. The spark plug 10 and the pre-combustion chamber temperature sensor 11 are respectively located on both sides of the high-pressure dual direct injection injector 9. The reforming gas is transported to the pre-combustion chamber through the reforming gas pipeline 902 of the high-pressure dual direct injection injector, and the liquid ammonia is transported to the pre-combustion chamber through the liquid ammonia pipeline 903 of the high-pressure dual direct injection injector. Figure 1 As shown. Since the high-pressure dual direct injection injector 9 has two independent fuel delivery pipelines inside, the fuels do not interfere with or blend with each other. The high-pressure dual direct injection injector 9 independently injects liquid ammonia and ammonia reforming gas into the pre-combustion chamber. The liquid ammonia vaporizes and absorbs heat in the pre-combustion chamber, which reduces the temperature of the pre-combustion chamber while also supplying fuel to the pre-combustion chamber, while the ammonia reforming gas is responsible for igniting ammonia. The spark plug is installed sideways in the pre-combustion chamber, responsible for igniting the mixture in the pre-combustion chamber. The temperature sensor is installed vertically in the pre-combustion chamber, responsible for detecting the temperature of the pre-combustion chamber.

One-way valves are installed at both the inlet and outlet of the reformer 20 to ensure that the gas in the reformer 20 flows unidirectionally into the reformed gas storage tank 19. The reformed gas storage tank 19 is located between the reformer 20 and the high-pressure dual direct injection injector 9, and functions to stabilize the pressure and store the reformed gas. The outlet of the reformer 20 is connected to the inlet of the reformed gas storage tank 19 through an outlet pipe, and the outlet of the reformed gas storage tank 19 is connected to the inlet of the reformed gas pipeline 902 of the high-pressure dual direct injection injector 9. A reformed gas composition and content sensor 18 is installed in the reformed gas storage tank 19 to detect the reformed gas composition and the corresponding content. The ammonia in the ammonia tank 23 flows into the reformer 20 after the flow is adjusted by the reformer electric flow regulating valve 16. The reformer 20 contains a catalyst, and the high-temperature exhaust gas is used to realize online reforming of ammonia to produce hydrogen. The reformer 20 uses the high-temperature exhaust gas and the catalyst to catalytically crack ammonia in the reformer 20 and decompose it into hydrogen and nitrogen, which then flow into the reformed gas storage tank 19 through a one-way valve and then into the reformed gas storage tank 19, and are then injected into the pre-chamber by the high-pressure dual direct injection injector 9 to ignite the ammonia. Specifically, the high-pressure dual direct injection injector 9 injects liquid ammonia and reformed ammonia gas into the pre-chamber. Among them, the liquid ammonia vaporizes and absorbs heat in the pre-chamber, reducing the temperature of the pre-chamber while also supplying fuel to the pre-chamber, and the reformed ammonia gas is used to ignite the ammonia.

[0037] The ECU unit includes 4 functional modules, namely ECU module 1, ECU module 2, ECU module 3, and ECU module 4, which are used to achieve the following controls:

[0038] ECU module 1 adjusts the injection strategy of the intake port ammonia injector 21 according to the throttle opening to supply ammonia fuel to the main combustion chamber.

[0039] The ECU module 2 adjusts the opening degree of the cooling water electric flow regulating valve 12 and the injection amount of liquid ammonia injected into the pre-combustion chamber by the high-pressure dual direct injection injector 9 according to the pre-combustion chamber temperature detected by the temperature sensor 11.

[0040] The ECU module 3 adjusts the opening degree of the reformer electric flow regulating valve 16 and controls the ammonia flow rate into the reformer 20 according to the exhaust gas temperature detected by the exhaust gas temperature sensor 15 and the reformed gas composition and content in the gas storage tank detected by the reformed gas composition and content sensor 18, and the ECU unit 22 calculates the required amount of reformed gas for stable ignition of the pre-combustion chamber based on the injection amount of liquid ammonia injected into the pre-combustion chamber by the high-pressure dual direct injection injector 9.

[0043] Step 1, according to the throttle opening, the ECU unit adjusts the injection strategy of the intake port ammonia injector 9 to supply ammonia fuel to the main combustion chamber of the engine 1.

[0044] Step 2, the temperature sensor 11 in the pre-combustion chamber detects the pre-combustion chamber temperature and transmits the pre-combustion chamber temperature to the ECU unit; the ECU unit adjusts the opening degree of the pre-combustion chamber cooling water electric flow regulating valve 12 and the liquid ammonia injection amount of the high-pressure dual direct injection injector 9 according to this temperature to ensure that the pre-combustion chamber temperature is maintained within a safe range.

[0045] Step 3, the ECU unit calculates the required amount of reformed gas for stable ignition of the pre-combustion chamber based on the liquid ammonia injection amount in the pre-combustion chamber; the reformed gas composition and content sensor 18 transmits the gas composition and content information in the reformed gas storage tank 19 to the ECU unit, and at the same time, the exhaust gas temperature sensor 15 transmits the exhaust gas temperature to the ECU unit. The ECU unit adjusts the opening degree of the reformer electric flow regulating valve 16 according to the target reformed gas amount to control the ammonia flow rate into the reformer 20 to ensure that the gas amount in the reformed gas storage tank 19 is sufficient and to provide additional reformed gas required during the cold start phase.

[0046] Step 4, the ECU unit controls the high-pressure dual direct injection injector 9 to inject reformed gas after injecting liquid ammonia, and controls the spark plug 10 to ignite at the optimal ignition moment to ensure stable ignition of the mixture in the pre-combustion chamber; then the jet flame sprays into the main combustion chamber through the pre-combustion chamber spray holes to ignite the combustible mixture in the main combustion chamber; thus, a complete working process has been completed, and then the above working process is repeated in this order.

[0047] In summary, the present invention is a pre-chamber system and control method based on ammonia-hydrogen high-pressure dual direct injection, which utilizes the characteristics of liquid ammonia vaporization endotherm to cool the inner wall of the pre-chamber and adopts a water-cooling method to cool the outer wall of the pre-chamber, solving the problem of pre-chamber injector ablation.
