Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of power and energy engineering, and particularly relates to a test device and method for simulating green fuel combustion under a thermal flow field of an internal combustion engine. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a common power device, the internal combustion engine has the advantages of good fuel economy, high thermal efficiency, large torque, good durability and economy, and has been widely used in the fields of aerospace, transportation, national defense equipment, etc. Since the birth of the internal combustion engine, it has been continuously updated and optimized in pursuit of excellent power and economy.

[0003] With the iterative development of the internal combustion engine technology, the global emission standards for pollutants of the internal combustion engine are becoming more stringent, so the internal combustion engine is continuously improved towards high efficiency and cleanliness. In order to reduce carbon emissions of the internal combustion engine, experimental research work needs to be carried out for different strokes of the working cycle of the internal combustion engine. Especially for the combustion characteristics of the power stroke, the more uniform the fuel and air mixture, the more sufficient the mixture combustion; the above process is closely related to the in-cylinder turbulence intensity of the engine, and increasing the in-cylinder air turbulence intensity can promote the uniformity of the oil-gas mixture, but strong turbulence will increase the heat dissipation of the engine, thereby reducing the efficiency of the engine. With the proposal of the double carbon strategy, the increasingly stringent carbon dioxide emission regulations will promote future engines to use more green low / zero carbon fuels, so it is urgent to test and analyze the combustion characteristics of various green fuels in a simulated engine working environment. Green carbon fuels include green alcohols, biodiesel, hydrogen and ammonia, etc. For different fuels, due to the particularity of their physical and chemical properties, the specifications of the fuel injectors used in the internal combustion engine are also different, so in order to analyze the combustion characteristics of different fuels, the test device needs to be able to adapt to various different fuel injectors. Considering the size and structural particularity of different fuel injectors, in order to ensure the air tightness of the combustion chamber, the test device needs to have good interchangeability of the fuel injectors, so as to test the combustion characteristics of different fuels under variable thermal turbulence fields. However, in reality, optical test devices that can simultaneously control the thermal field and turbulence intensity in the combustion chamber to simulate engine-like working conditions are very rare, and if they also meet the needs of different green fuel combustion, the existing test equipment is almost blank, so a test device and method for simulating green fuel combustion under an engine thermal flow field are urgently needed.
