Effect of Injection Advance Angle on the Performance of Butanol-Diesel Dual-fuel Engines

Abstract

In order to further investigate the performance of the butanol-diesel dual-fuel engine, this paper uses the 4190ZLC-2 marine medium-speed diesel engine as a prototype and establishes a dual-fuel engine high-pressure cycle model using AVL-FIRE simulation software. The injection advance angle was set to 16.6°, 18.6°, 20.6° and 22.6° respectively, and its effect on the performance of the dual-fuel engine was investigated by varying the injection advance angle. The results show that as the injection advance angle increases, the incylinder pressure and temperature also increase. When the injection advance angle is 22.6°CA, compared with the original engine, CO emission is reduced by 16.8%, NO emission is increased by 7.4%, carbon smoke emission is reduced by 16.9%, and the indicated power is 52.6kW, which is increased by 1.8%.
