The study provides a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the C5-C11 hydrocarbon species generated in Spark Ignition - Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (SI/HCCI) gasoline direct injection (GDI) engine at range of operating conditions. The presented results and data were obtained from the combustion of winter grade commercial gasoline containing 2% w/w ethanol (C2H5OH) for the engine operated in steady-state, fully warmed-up condition. The hydrocarbon analysis in exhaust gases was executed on a Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometer (GC-MS) apparatus directly connected to the engine exhaust via heated line. The highest concentration of the total hydrocarbon emissions was obtained under low load HCCI engine operation at stoichiometric fuel-air ratio. The major hydrocarbon compounds detected in the collected samples were benzene, toluene, p-xylene, and naphthalene. Benzene originates from the incomplete combustion of toluene and other alkylbenzenes which are of considerable environmental interest. During the SI engine operation, increase of the engine speed and load resulted in the increase of benzene and the total olefinic species with simultaneous decrease in isopentane and isooctane. The same trends are seen with the engine operating under HCCI mode, but since the combustion temperature is always lower than SI mode under the same engine conditions, the oxidation of fuel paraffin in the former case was less. As a result, the total olefins and benzene levels in HCCI mode were lower than the corresponding amount observed in SI mode. Aromatic compounds (e.g., toluene), except for benzene, were produced at lower levels in the exhaust when the engine speed and load for both modes were increased.

Despite the fact that HCCI engines are distinguished by mixture homogeneity, some degree of stratification always appears inside a combustion chamber. It is especially applied to residual effect engines utilizing negative valve overlap. Mixture stratification is a result of the imperfect mixing of fresh air with trapped residuals. Direct fuel injection introduces stratification as well, due to fuel vaporization. As a consequence, the temperature within the combustion chamber is uneven. Thermal stratification affects auto-ignition timing and combustion evolution in a high extent. The purpose of this study was to evaluate a degree of thermal stratification in HCCI engine utilizing negative valve overlap. Investigations were performed using three-dimensional CFD model of the combustion system, made by using AVL FIRE software. Simulations were realized for various timings of fuel injection into the cylinder. It was found that fuel injection timing had a significant effect on the thermal stratification and resulting auto-ignition timing.

Prezentowana praca zawiera wyniki modelowania w programie AVL Fire, jednocylindrowego, badawczego silnika z systemem spalania HCCI, zasilanego biodieslem - FAME. W silniku do sterowania procesem spalania zastosowano zewnętrzną recyrkulację spalin - EGR. W ramach pracy przeprowadzono badania wpływu recyrkulacji spalin na, istotne z punku widzenia pracy silnika, parametry, tj. kąt początku spalania, czas trwania spalania, ciśnienie w cylindrze i wartość ciśnienia indykowanego, szybkość wywiązywania się ciepła oraz emisje jednego z najbardziej toksycznych składników spalin - tlenku azotu. Dzięki przeprowadzonym obliczeniom można stwierdzić, że zastosowanie recyrkulacji spalin w silniku z samoczynnym zapłonem jednorodnej mieszanki biodiesla z powietrzem przyczynia się do opóźnienia początku spalania i znacznie wydłuża czas jego trwania. Wzrost opóźnienia spalania HCCI powoduje z kolei redukcję stężenia tlenku azotu w gazach wydechowych przy jednoczesnym wzroście ciśnienia indykowanego.

The paper presents the CFD modelling results of the 1-cylinder HCCI test engine. Modelling was carried out using AVL Fire code. The test engine was powered by biodiesel-FAME fuel. The exhaust gas recirculation EGR used as factors of controlling the combustion process. The impact of EGR on the test engine parameters such as the start of combustion, combustion duration, in-cylinder pressure and indicated mean effective pressure, rate of heat release and NO emission were analyzed. On the basis of results stated that EGR for HCCI engine affects on the ignition delay and significantly increases the combustion duration. The increase in ignition delay of HCCI engine causes the reduction of NOx emission in exhaust gasses while increases the indicated mean effective pressure.

W pracy przedstawiono szczegółową analizę składu spalin silnika HCCI (ang.: homogeneous charge compression ignition) zasilanego bezpośrednim wtryskiem benzyny, współpracującego z trójfunkcyjnym reaktorem katalitycznym spalin. Proces spalania HCCI uzyskano z wykorzystaniem ujemnego współotwarcia zaworów i wewnętrznej recyrkulacji spalin. Pomiary składu spalin prowadzono przed i za reaktorem katalitycznym za pomocą systemu analitycznego FTIR. Podczas badań zmieniano obciążenie silnika poprzez zmianę ilości paliwa wtryskiwanego do komory spalania. Wyniki badań pokazały znaczący wpływ obciążenia silnika na skład frakcyjny niespalonych węglowodorów. Wśród analizowanych związków na szczególną uwagę zasługuje metan, gdyż związek ten charakteryzuje się wysoką temperaturą utleniania w reaktorze katalitycznym. Pomiary składu spalin za reaktorem potwierdziły nie tylko małą skuteczność utleniania metanu, ale w pewnych warunkach jego produkcję przez układ oczyszczania spalin. Pomimo obniżenia emisji głównych związków toksycznych, emisja poszczególnych węglowodorów może być kłopotliwa dla zastosowań systemów spalania HCCI w świetle przyszłych norm emisyjnych.

In this study a detailed exhaust analysis was performed for homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engine fuelled with a direct gasoline injection and equipped with a three-way catalytic converter. HCCI combustion was achieved using a negative valve overlap technique resulting in internal gas re-circulation. Exhaust gases compositions were measured upstream and downstream the catalytic converter using FTIR analytical system. Experimental matrix covered different engine loads achieved via variable amount of fuel injected. Obtained results showed significant effect of the engine load on fractional composition of unburned hydrocarbons. Among analyzed species, methane is one of most important, because it exhibits relatively high oxidation temperature in the catalytic converter. Measurements of exhaust compositions downstream the converter not only proved low performance in terms of methane oxidation, but also production of this compound by exhaust after treatment system under some operating conditions. The results revealed that besides reduction of main exhaust toxic components, excessive emission of methane could pose a challenge for application of HCCI engines in the light of future emission standards.

HCCI (homogeneous charge compression ignition) combustion is initiated by compression temperature and is independent of spark discharge. However, spark discharge can be applied under certain conditions to achieve hybrid combustion, where combustion by flame propagation is followed by auto-ignition of the unburned mixture. Spark assist can be applied to improve combustion stability at low loads or to reduce pressure rise rates under high load regime. In the current study variable spark ignition timing was applied for stoichiometric HCCI combustion, achieved using negative valve overlap technique. Under investigated conditions increase of nitrogen oxides emissions, due to flame propagation, was not observed. To provide more insight into combustion evolution, double Wiebe function was fitted to experimental heat release rates. It was found that only less than 10% of mixture was burned by flame propagation, even for very advanced spark discharge.

Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) seems to be the most promising solution for gasoline engines in the light of future emissions regulations. This novel combustion technique allows for significant reduction of fuel consumption and engine-out NOX emissions at low and medium engine load/speed conditions. High heat release rate enables realization of the Otto cycle close to ideal, increasing thermal efficiency. Among different approaches to invoke an auto-ignition of air-fuel mixture, exhaust gas trapping with the use of a negative valve overlap is under intensive investigations. The paper presents research results ofcontrolling an auto-ignition and combustion phasing in a single cylinder gasoline engine with direct fuel injection operated in the negative valve overlap mode. The experiments were performed at variable valvetrain settings, providing a control of EGR rate and volumetric efficiency. Additionally, the combustion process was investigated at variable air-fuel ratio. It was found that volumetric efficiency and EGR ratę are mainly dependent on exhaust valve timing, while a timing of intake valve determined combustion on-set and its duration. The effects of EGR rate and air-fuel ratio on combustion timing and exhaust gas emissions were isolated. The direct fuel injection showed its benefits versus mixture formation outside the cylinder. The application of variable injection timing provided additional possibility to control the combustion timing and exhaust emissions. However, it was found that the fuel injection strategy should be related to the engine load conditions.
