8Emission legislation that applies to engines used in shipping, rail and land 9 power generation becomes increasingly strict. E.g. IMO Tier III applicable to 10 sea-going vessels limits the NO x emission by 75% compared to IMO Tier II.
11Attaining these without sacrificing fuel consumption is a big challenge. This 12 paper reports on engine internal measures that can provide a viable alternative 13 to expensive (running costs) and bulky after-treatment. Exhaust Gas Recircu-
Nitrogen-oxides (NOx) are becoming more and more regulated. In heavy duty, medium speed engines these emission limits are also being reduced steadily: Selective catalytic reduction is a proven technology which allows to reduce NOx emission with very high efficiency. However, operating temperature of the catalytic converter has to be maintained within certain limits as conversion efficiency and ammonia slip are very heavily influenced by temperature. In this work the engine calibration and hardware will be modified to allow for a wide engine operating range with Selective catalytic reduction. The studied engine has 4M W nominal power and runs at 750rpm engine speed, fuel consumption during engine tests becomes quite expensive (+ − 750kg/h) for a measurement campaign. This is why a simulation model was developed and validated. This model was then used to investigate several strategies to control engine out temperature: different types of wastegates, injection variation and valve timing adjustments. Simulation showed that wastegate application had the best tradeoff between fuel consumption and exhaust temperature. Finally, this configuration was built on the engine test bench and results from both measurements and simulation agreed very well.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
