摘要
The present investigation was to study the effect of Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) on homogeneous charge ignition engine. A stationary four stroke, single cylinder, direct injection (DI) diesel engine capable of developing 3.7 kW at 1500 rpm was modified to operate in HCCl mode. In the present work the diesel engine was operated on 100% Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG). The LPG has a low cetane number (<3), therefore Diethyl ether (DEE) was added to the LPG for ignition purpose. DEE is an excellent ignition enhancer (cetane number > 125) and has a low auto ignition temperature (160 degrees C). Experimental results showed that by EGR technique, at part loads the brake thermal efficiency increases by about 2.5% and at full load, NO concentration could be considerably reduced to about 68% as compared to LPG operation without EGR. However, higher EGR percentage affects the combustion rate and significant reduction in peak pressure at maximum load. (C) 2006 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
