Abstract:
In the present paper, the cyclic variations of a hydrogen-blended gasoline rotary engine operated under various conditions were experimentally investigated. The experiments were carried out on a modified hydrogen-gasoline dual-fuel rotary engine equipped with an electronically-controlled fuel injection system. An electronic control module was specially made to command the fuel injection, excess air ratio and hydrogen volumetric fraction. The tested engine was first run at idle condition with a speed of 2400 rpm and then operated at 4500 rpm to investigate the cyclic variations of a hydrogen-enriched gasoline rotary engine under different hydrogen volumetric percentages in the total intake, excess air ratios and spark timings. The experimental results demonstrated that the coefficient of variations (in peak pressure, engine speed, flame development period and flame propagation period) of the gasoline rotary engine were distinctly decreased with the increase of hydrogen volume fraction under all the tested conditions. In particular, at idle and stoichiometric conditions, the coefficient of variation in CAO-10 and CA10-90 were reduced from 9.25% to 5.01%, 15.40% to 8.70%, respectively.
