Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of marine engines, and in particular to a method, system, terminal and medium for controlling injection of a marine ammonia fuel engine. Background Art
[0002] Traditional marine engines primarily rely on fossil fuels such as diesel, which emit nitrogen oxides, sulfur compounds, and carbon dioxide, causing serious environmental pollution. With increasingly stringent environmental regulations, the search for clean alternative fuels has become a key direction for the development of marine engines. Ammonia, a zero-carbon fuel with a high hydrogen content, produces only nitrogen and water upon combustion, making it an ideal alternative fuel for marine engines.
[0003] However, the combustion characteristics of ammonia fuel differ significantly from those of traditional fuels, such as high ignition energy and slow flame propagation speed. This makes it difficult to ensure combustion stability and efficiency in ammonia-fueled engines under different operating conditions. Furthermore, ammonia is toxic, and excessive injection can lead to ammonia leakage, posing a safety hazard. Therefore, precisely controlling the injection rate of ammonia fuel has become a key technical challenge in the application of ammonia-fueled engines.
[0004] Currently, existing injection control methods for ammonia-fueled engines are primarily based on empirical formulas or simple proportional control. These methods are unable to precisely adjust the ammonia fuel injection rate based on the engine's real-time operating conditions, leading to unstable engine performance and substandard emissions. This is particularly true for large-bore marine engines, where the combustion process is more complex and requires higher precision in injection control.

[0025] The present invention provides a method for controlling the injection of a marine ammonia fuel engine.

[0026] The following is a detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art can easily implement the present invention. The present invention can be embodied in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein.
[0027] like Figure 1 A schematic structural diagram showing a method for controlling injection of a marine ammonia fuel engine according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.
[0028] The method comprises:
[0029] Step S1: collecting operating parameters of a marine ammonia fuel engine.
[0030] In one embodiment, operating parameters of a marine ammonia fuel engine are collected by sensors, where the operating parameters of the marine ammonia fuel engine include engine speed, load, intake air temperature, intake air pressure, cooling water temperature, etc.
[0031] For example, the engine crankshaft speed can be accurately measured through a magnetoelectric speed sensor or a Hall-type speed sensor, which is a key parameter for calculating the total energy demand and injection timing; the current engine workload can be quantified through a torque sensor or an throttle position sensor, reflecting the power demand of the ship's propulsion system; the state of the air entering the cylinder can be monitored through a thermistor temperature sensor, which is used to correct the combustion model and injection quantity calculation; and the thermal resistance sensor can be used to reflect the thermal state of the engine and collect the cooling water temperature.
[0032] Step S2: Based on the operating condition parameters, a pre-calibrated total energy demand MAP is queried to obtain the total energy required by the marine ammonia fuel engine under the current operating condition.
[0033] In one embodiment, during bench testing, the engine is fully tested under various speed and load combinations to generate a total energy demand map. This map contains information about the total energy demand of the engine at various speeds and loads. Because it reflects the total energy demand of the engine at various speeds and loads, it provides a reliable basis for accurately determining the total energy demand of a marine ammonia-fueled engine under current operating conditions.
[0034] Therefore, step S2 includes: according to the engine speed and load, querying a pre-calibrated total energy demand MAP diagram to obtain the total energy required by the marine ammonia fuel engine under the current working conditions.
[0035] Step S3: Based on the operating condition parameters, query a pre-calibrated ammonia substitution rate MAP to obtain a basic ammonia substitution rate and correct the basic ammonia substitution rate to obtain a final ammonia substitution rate.
[0036] In one embodiment, during the test, researchers will systematically change the engine speed and load, adjust the ammonia substitution rate, and monitor the engine's performance indicators (such as power, torque, fuel consumption rate, etc.) and emission indicators (such as nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, etc.) in real time to obtain an ammonia substitution rate MAP diagram. The MAP diagram contains the ammonia substitution rate that can achieve the best balance between engine performance and emissions at different speeds and loads. The ammonia substitution rate MAP diagram provides a direct basis for determining the basic ammonia substitution rate. It is based on a large amount of test data and reflects the trend of the optimal ammonia substitution rate of the engine under different operating conditions. By querying this diagram, the basic ammonia substitution rate corresponding to the current operating conditions can be quickly obtained, which lays the foundation for subsequent corrections and the determination of the final ammonia substitution rate, and helps to improve the engine's operating efficiency and environmental performance.
[0037] Step S3 includes:
[0038] Based on the current engine speed and load, two key parameters, a pre-calibrated ammonia substitution rate map is searched. The point in the map that corresponds to the current engine speed and load is found. The value corresponding to this point is the basic ammonia substitution rate.
[0039] After obtaining the basic ammonia substitution rate, these influencing factors are quantified and incorporated into the calculation by establishing a corresponding correction model or algorithm to adjust the basic ammonia substitution rate.
[0040] In one embodiment, the engine's operating state and the combustion process of the ammonia fuel are significantly affected by environmental conditions. Intake air temperature, intake air pressure, and cooling water temperature are key parameters reflecting the engine's operating environment. Changes in these parameters can alter the combustion environment within the engine cylinder, thereby affecting the combustion efficiency and stability of the ammonia fuel. Therefore, a corresponding correction factor is required to modify the basic ammonia substitution rate to compensate for the adverse effects of these environmental changes on ammonia fuel combustion, ensuring stable and efficient engine operation under different operating conditions and achieving good emissions performance.
[0041] Experimentally determined correction factors for air temperature, intake pressure, and cooling water temperature are pre-stored. These factors correspond to different intake air temperature, intake pressure, and cooling water temperature ranges, forming a correction factor table. Based on the real-time collected intake air temperature, intake pressure, and cooling water temperature, the corresponding correction factor is searched in the correction factor table. After obtaining the correction factors for each parameter, the basic ammonia substitution rate is calculated and corrected according to a preset correction algorithm to obtain the final ammonia substitution rate.
[0042] Step S4: Calculate the energy required to be provided by the ammonia fuel according to the total energy and the ammonia replacement rate, and obtain the ammonia fuel injection amount in combination with the efficiency and dynamic response characteristics of the injection system.
[0043] In one embodiment, step S4 includes:
[0044] Calculating the energy required to be provided by the ammonia fuel according to the total energy and the ammonia replacement rate and calculating the mass injection amount of the ammonia fuel according to the lower calorific value of the ammonia fuel;
[0045] Consider two key factors: injection system efficiency and dynamic response characteristics. Injection system efficiency reflects the proportion of fuel actually injected by the injection system that effectively participates in combustion. Due to potential issues such as fuel leakage and incomplete atomization during the injection process, the actual amount of fuel effectively injected may be less than the theoretically calculated value, so corrections need to be made based on efficiency.
[0046] The dynamic response of an injection system refers to its speed and accuracy in responding to control signals. In actual operation, engine operating conditions are constantly changing, and the injection system may not be able to instantly reach the theoretical injection rate. Therefore, the mass injection rate needs to be adjusted based on its dynamic response characteristics.
[0047] By establishing a corresponding correction model or algorithm, the parameters related to the injection system efficiency and dynamic response characteristics are included in the calculation, and the ammonia fuel mass injection amount calculated previously is corrected to finally obtain the ammonia fuel injection amount.
[0048] Step S5: Generate a corresponding ammonia fuel injection instruction based on the ammonia fuel injection amount and send it to the ammonia fuel injection system to inject the ammonia fuel at a given timing, pressure and pulse width.
[0049] In one embodiment, step S5 includes:
[0050] An ammonia fuel injection instruction including injection timing, target injection pressure and injection pulse width is generated based on the ammonia fuel injection amount; specifically, injection timing refers to the moment when the ammonia fuel injection begins, which has an important impact on the combustion process and performance of the engine. When generating instructions, it is necessary to determine the optimal injection timing based on the ammonia fuel injection amount and in combination with the engine speed, load and current operating conditions. The target injection pressure determines the injection speed and atomization effect of the ammonia fuel. The appropriate injection pressure can better atomize the ammonia fuel and fully mix it with the air, thereby improving combustion efficiency. When setting the target injection pressure, the ammonia fuel injection amount and factors such as the engine's compression ratio, combustion chamber structure and the physical properties of the ammonia fuel need to be considered. The injection pulse width refers to the duration of the ammonia fuel injection, which is directly related to the ammonia fuel injection amount. Based on the obtained ammonia fuel injection amount and combined with the flow characteristics of the injection system, the required injection pulse width can be calculated.
[0051] The ammonia fuel injection instruction is sent to the ammonia fuel injection system to control the injection of ammonia fuel according to the corresponding injection timing, target injection pressure and injection pulse width. The ammonia fuel injection system can use dual methanol injectors.
[0052] Step S6: performing feedback correction on the ammonia fuel injection amount based on the real-time monitored combustion state, emission parameters and operating condition parameters of the marine ammonia fuel engine.
[0053] In one embodiment, the operating conditions of a marine ammonia-fueled engine are complex and changeable, and are affected by various factors such as the marine environment and the ship's navigation status. Moreover, the characteristics of ammonia fuel are different from those of traditional fuels, and its combustion process and emission characteristics are more complex. Relying solely on the initially set ammonia substitution rate and ammonia fuel injection amount, it is difficult to ensure that the engine can operate stably and efficiently under various operating conditions. By real-time monitoring of the engine's key parameters and performing feedback corrections, the ammonia fuel injection amount can be adjusted in a timely manner to keep the engine in the optimal operating state at all times, thereby improving its reliability, economy, and environmental performance.
[0054] Real-time monitoring of the engine's combustion state, emission parameters, and operating parameters, such as in-cylinder pressure, exhaust temperature, and NOx emissions. Based on the engine's physical model and a large amount of test data, a feedback control model is established between the ammonia fuel injection amount and the combustion state, emission parameters, and operating parameters. This model can be a complex mathematical model or a model based on intelligent algorithms such as neural networks. The adjusted ammonia fuel injection amount is obtained by inputting the monitored engine's combustion state, emission parameters, operating parameters, and ammonia fuel injection amount into the feedback control model. The adjustment process can be continuous fine-tuning or a larger adjustment in stages, depending on the degree of parameter change and the engine's operating state. Feedback corrections are made to the ammonia replacement rate and ammonia fuel injection amount based on the monitoring results to ensure stable and efficient operation of the engine under various operating conditions.
[0055] Similar in principle to the above embodiment, the present invention provides a marine ammonia fuel engine injection control system.

[0073] Compared with existing technologies, it has the following advantages:
[0074] 1. This invention collects operating parameters such as engine speed, load, intake air temperature, intake air pressure, and cooling water temperature. It first determines the total energy requirement based on speed and load, then calculates the actual injection rate using a base ammonia replacement rate combined with correction factors such as temperature and pressure, ensuring a precise match between the injection rate and the operating conditions. A secondary correction is made to the injection rate, taking into account the efficiency and dynamic response characteristics of the injection system. Feedback correction is also provided through real-time monitoring of parameters such as in-cylinder pressure and exhaust temperature. This overcomes the shortcomings of existing technologies based on empirical formulas or simple proportional control, addressing the complex combustion and high control precision requirements of large-bore engines.
[0075] 2. The ammonia-fueled engine of this invention produces only nitrogen and water when it burns ammonia fuel, eliminating carbon dioxide emissions from the fuel itself. Furthermore, by precisely controlling the injection rate, it avoids leakage caused by excessive ammonia injection and reduces pollutants such as NOx produced by incomplete combustion. Compared to traditional diesel engines, it significantly reduces sulfur compound and particulate matter emissions, meeting stringent environmental regulations.

By monitoring parameters such as in-cylinder pressure and exhaust temperature, the system can promptly detect combustion anomalies (such as detonation and misfire) and adjust the injection strategy through feedback correction, thereby avoiding engine failures caused by fluctuating operating conditions and improving operating durability. When abnormal in-cylinder pressure is detected, the ammonia injection amount can be immediately reduced and the injection timing adjusted to prevent component damage.
[0077] In summary, the marine ammonia fuel engine injection control method, system, terminal and medium of the present invention first collect engine operating parameters, and query the pre-calibrated total energy demand MAP diagram based on this to obtain the total energy required for the current operating conditions. At the same time, the ammonia substitution rate MAP diagram is queried to obtain the basic ammonia substitution rate, and the final ammonia substitution rate is obtained after correction. The energy required to be provided by the ammonia fuel is calculated by the total energy and the ammonia substitution rate, and then the ammonia fuel injection amount is determined in combination with the injection system efficiency and dynamic response characteristics. An injection instruction is then generated and sent to the injection system to achieve ammonia fuel injection according to a given timing, pressure and pulse width. On this basis, the injection amount is feedback-corrected based on the combustion state, emission parameters and operating condition parameters monitored in real time. This method can accurately determine the ammonia fuel injection amount according to the ammonia substitution rate and total energy demand of the current operating condition of the engine, improve combustion efficiency and stability, and reduce pollutant emissions. By taking into account the characteristics of the injection system for secondary correction, and combining the feedback correction of real-time monitoring parameters, the shortcomings of the existing technology using empirical formulas or simple proportional control are compensated, and the problems of complex combustion and high control accuracy requirements of large-cylinder engines are solved. Furthermore, real-time feedback correction can promptly detect combustion anomalies and adjust the injection strategy, avoiding engine failures caused by operating condition fluctuations and improving operational durability. Therefore, this invention effectively overcomes the shortcomings of existing technologies and has high industrial application value.
