Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of diesel engines, and in particular to an EGR cooling system for diesel engines. Background Technology
[0002] Diesel engine fuel (diesel) has a high calorific value and a large excess air coefficient λ. The high-temperature, oxygen-rich environment during combustion leads to the formation of large amounts of nitrogen oxides (NOx). The EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) system in diesel engines is a technology that separates the exhaust gases after combustion and reintroduces them into the engine cylinders for combustion. Its main purpose is to reduce NOx and optimize fuel consumption under partial load. The portion of exhaust gas separated from the exhaust in the EGR is at a high temperature, often between 550°C and 650°C. If directly introduced into the engine cylinders, it would heat the engine's intake air, causing a decrease in intake air density and resulting in a smaller excess air coefficient λ, which cannot provide enough fresh air to the engine. Therefore, the exhaust gas separated by the EGR needs to be cooled. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this section is to outline some aspects of embodiments of the present invention and to briefly describe some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents; however, such simplifications or omissions should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention.
[0004] In view of the problems existing in the above-mentioned engine cooling systems, this utility model is proposed.
[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a diesel engine EGR cooling system to solve the problem that "the exhaust gas separated from the exhaust gas in the EGR is at a high temperature, often 550℃~650℃. If it is directly introduced into the engine cylinder, it will heat the engine intake air, causing a decrease in intake air density, resulting in a small excess air coefficient λ, which cannot provide enough fresh air to the engine."
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A diesel engine EGR cooling system, comprising:
[0008] An engine body includes a water pump and an engine block, which are respectively mounted on the engine body and are interconnected. An EGR water intake pipe is fixedly mounted on the engine body and is connected to the engine block. An EGR water inlet hose is fixedly connected to the EGR water intake pipe. An EGR cooler is fixedly mounted on the engine body and is connected to the EGR cooler. An EGR valve seat is fixedly mounted on the engine body and has an EGR valve. The EGR cooler is fixedly connected to the EGR valve. An EGR return hose is fixedly connected to the EGR valve seat and is connected to the water pump. An exhaust manifold is fixedly mounted on the engine body and is fixedly connected to the EGR valve. An EGR pipe is fixedly connected to the EGR cooler, and an intake manifold is fixedly connected to the end of the EGR pipe. An intake manifold is fixedly connected to the intake manifold.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the diesel engine EGR cooling system of this utility model, the water pump is provided with an inlet and an outlet, and the outlet is connected to the engine body.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the diesel engine EGR cooling system of this utility model, the water pump is provided with an impeller, and the impeller is located at the center of the water pump.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the diesel engine EGR cooling system of this utility model, the engine body includes an engine body water jacket and an oil cooler mounting cavity. The engine body water jacket is connected to the oil cooler mounting cavity. The engine body water jacket is connected to the water outlet. The EGR water intake pipe is connected to the oil cooler mounting cavity.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the diesel engine EGR cooling system of this utility model, the EGR cooler has multiple fins on the intake side, and the fin spacing is ≤2.0mm.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] 1. After being pressurized by the water pump, the cooling water enters the engine block's water distribution jacket, flows through the oil cooler mounting cavity, and enters the EGR water intake pipe. At this point, the cooling water only partially cools the cylinder walls and engine oil, resulting in a small temperature rise. Simultaneously, there are no significant obstructions in between, and the cooling water pressure is not significantly reduced compared to when it first enters the engine block. That is, there is no significant pressure loss and no substantial temperature increase in the cooling water. The cooling water enters from the bottom of the EGR cooler, cools the EGR exhaust gas, and then exits from the top of the EGR cooler. This effectively removes gas from the EGR cooler and prevents vapor lock. Furthermore, the flow direction of the cooling water is opposite to that of the EGR exhaust gas, which, through thermal convection, more effectively reduces the temperature of the EGR exhaust gas.
[0015] 2. After exiting the cylinder, the EGR exhaust gas enters the EGR valve directly through the exhaust manifold. To prevent the EGR valve from overheating and sticking, coolant flows through the EGR valve, effectively cooling the EGR valve and its guide pipes.
[0016] 3. After cooling the EGR exhaust gas and EGR valve seat, the cooling water flows back to the low-pressure chamber of the water pump, and then enters the water distribution jacket of the machine body through the impeller in the water pump to form a circulation. Attached Figure Description
