Özet
Diesel/methane combustion still encounters challenges in terms of lower combustion stability and elevated levels of HC and CO emissions. The valve lift (VL) technique is a method that contributes to increased in-cylinder volumetric efficiency, thereby improving engine performance and reducing emissions. Hence, the application of VL in diesel/methane operations would be highly significant. Therefore, an experimental study on the VL for reducing HC and CO emissions and enhancing combustion stability in a diesel/methane CRDI engine was performed at varying methane fractions and torques. In the study, three different cam profiles were used with VL extrapolated using Fourier series and designed: the original VL of 4.46 mm, as well as two different VLs of 4.0 mm and 4.9 mm. The methane in the total fuel energy was initially increased to 20 % and later further increased to 40 %. The experimental findings …
