| ABSTRACT |
|
This research aims to propose a method to achieve the maximum altitude adaptability of turbocharged diesel engines with the optimum fuel consumption. Firstly, engine performance at different altitudes is studied by experimental method. It is found that the engine power recovery is restricted by three constraints, which are cylinder pressure, exhaust temperature and boosting pressure ratio. Following that, the influence of turbocharging system and fuel injection on the three constraints is studied via experimentally validated numerical model. A power-recovery-zone bounded by the three constraints is proposed, inside which engine power can be fully recovered. The altitude adaptability of the engine is discussed in details via this zone. Further analysis finds that the boosting pressure and the maximum pressure ratio are the key factors to the constraints. A new methodology which can achieve the maximum altitude with the optimum fuel consumption is proposed based the concept of the zone. Finally, the methodology is applied in the engine with three types of turbocharging systems to quantitatively compare their altitude adaptability. Results prove that the altitude adaptability of the engine is notably improved by adapting the proposed method, especially for the two stage turbocharging system. |
