Abstract:
This study focuses on a four-cylinder, four-stroke hydrogen engine equipped with a passive pre-chamber (PC). The effects of excess air ratio (lambda) on the performance of the turbulent jet ignition (TJI) hydrogen engine are investigated through experimental and numerical simulations. The hydrogen engine operates at 1600 rpm with an intake manifold pressure of 70 kPa. The results show that lambda values significantly influence the internal flow field, energy distribution, and flame development in the PC, affecting the combustion in the main chamber (MC). The experiment found that as lambda decreases, the BMEP and BTE gradually increase. Due to the influence of jet and multi-point ignition, the heat transfer loss in lean combustion is also relatively high. The jet oscillation caused by the TJI hydrogen engine has high controllability and low destructiveness, and lambda is one of the main factors controlling the jet oscillation. The influence of spark timing (ST) on engine performance is explored through experiments. The results show that as lambda increases, the sensitivity of BMEP to ST gradually decreases. With the delay of ST, BTE increased first and then decreased. However, the cyclic variation is less affected by ST. For the TJI hydrogen engine, an appropriate delay in ST under the close stoichiometric ratio condition can not only ensure power output and combustion stability but also reduce emissions.
