Abstract
- • The model of HFRE with active pre-chamber TJI was established. • The combustion characteristic of HFRE-SC was analyzed. • The optimum HIT and HID was obtained. Hydrogen can be used as fuel to replace gasoline, with the benefit of reducing harmful emissions of rotary engine (RE). The swirl chamber (SC) coupling spark plug and nozzle will achieve diffusion combustion and higher power as compared to the conventional spark plug. In the current work, a CFD model of a hydrogen-fueled rotary engine with swirl chamber (HFRE-SC) is established to study the impacts of hydrogen injection timing (HIT) and hydrogen injection duration (HID) on combustion characteristics of HFRE-SC. Results reveal that SC combustion system may achieve more combustion efficiency and higher indicated power when compared to port injection (PI). Moreover, lean hydrogen in the rear of combustion chamber (ROCC) can result from retarding HIT and extending HID. In addition, when the rich zone in SC moves toward the spark plug, making it difficult for flames to develop and spread. The best performance can be obtained when using the HIT at 75 °CA BTDC and the HID during 35 °CA, with an 8.42 % up in indicated power compared to the PI. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
