摘要
Featured Application This work contributes to the understanding of the macroscopic characteristics of the spray as well as to the evolution of the combustion process for alternative fuels. All these fuels have been studied under the same operating conditions than diesel therefore the comparison can be made directly, leaving in evidence that some fuels can achieve a similar behavior to diesel in terms of auto ignition but avoiding one of the biggest disadvantages of diesel such as the soot formation. Moreover, the quantification of characteristic parameters such as ignition delay, liquid length, vapor penetration and flame lift-off length represent the most important data to adjust and subsequently validate the computational models that simulate the spray evolution and combustion development of these alternative fuels inside the combustion chamber. The stringent emission regulations have motivated the development of cleaner fuels as diesel surrogates. However, their different physical-chemical properties make the study of their behavior in compression ignition engines essential. In this sense, optical techniques are a very effective tool for determining the spray evolution and combustion characteristics occurring in the combustion chamber. In this work, quantitative parameters describing the evolution of diesel-like sprays such as liquid length, spray penetration, ignition delay, lift-off length and flame penetration as well as the soot formation were tested in a constant high pressure and high temperature installation using schlieren, OH* chemiluminescence and diffused back-illumination extinction imaging techniques. Boundary conditions such as rail pressure, chamber density and temperature were defined using guidelines from the Engine Combustion Network (ECN). Two paraffinic fuels (dodecane and a renewable hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO)) and two oxygenated fuels (methylal identified as OME(1)and a blend of oxymethylene ethers, identified as OMEx) were tested and compared to a conventional diesel fuel used as reference. Results showed that paraffinic fuels and OME(x)sprays have similar behavior in terms of global combustion metrics. In the case of OME1, a shorter liquid length, but longer ignition delay time and flame lift-off length were observed. However, in terms of soot formation, a big difference between paraffinic and oxygenated fuels could be appreciated. While paraffinic fuels did not show any significant decrease of soot formation when compared to diesel fuel, soot formed by OME(1)and OME(x)was below the detection threshold in all tested conditions.
