ABSTRACT

Direct injection diesel engine offers Performance and fuel economy benefit. Use of performance

prediction software helps to reduce engine optimization time, reduces effort and cost of

development.

In the present work, base engine performance prediction was done by use AVL Boost software.

This Model was validated by actual engine test results. This model is used for parametric study

for further performance prediction. AVL Cruise software was used to predict 14 modes steady

state speed-load point’s engine of Bharat stage 4 emission test cycle. These 14 modes were used

for emission optimization on engine test bed. Design of experiment technique was used for

emission optimization. INCA base CAMEO software is used for optimizing combustion

parameters. Xcel base program was developed for comparing engine out hot emissions to chassis

dynamometer vehicle hot emissions. This technique of emission development reduces

engine and vehicle emission development time.

I. INTRODUCTION

Diesel engine performance and emission development is need in current automobile industry due

to future stringent emission norms, noise and CO2 norms. India has adapted partially European

norms with emission limit same but modified test cycle with limited maximum speed from 120

kilometer per hour to 90 kilometer per hour. Bharat stage emission norms based on Indian road

conditions.

In present work, engine performance development and vehicle emission development were done

for Bharat stage 4 norms which were introduced in metros and major cities of India from April

2010 onward .Rest of India still follows Bharat stage3 norms. To reduce emission development

time, [3] AVL BOOST simulation software was used to predict the engine performance before

prototype was built. To reduce emission development time on chassis dynamometer, AVL Cruise

software [4] were used for generating 14 steady mode points of engine speed and load condition

which represents actual emission test cycle when vehicle was tested on chassis dynamometer for

emission.

After engine was optimized for emissions at 14 mode point’s further test work was done on

vehicle tested in chassis dynamometer.

This methodology of test reduces major emission development time of chassis dynamometer.

In emission test cycle, engine operates at different speed and load points based on transmission

ratio and axle ratio, tyre radius and reference mass of vehicle. It became more complex to

optimize engine as whole on vehicle and meet emission. Hence a systematic approach was

developed to convert emission cycle in to 14 steady state key points with time weightage factor

by use of AVL Cruise software.

Engine performance was predicted by use of AVL Boost software before engine in existence.

Boost Model engine gives fair confidence of reaching desired engine performance before actual

testing of engine on dynamometer. With this engine Boost model parametric study was done to

access the desired engine full load performance.

Major performance development work was done on test bed by optimizing injection parameters

of common rail and selection of suitable hardware like piston bowl shape, turbocharger and EGR

with cooler.

Engine part load optimization, 14 mode points and smoothening of injection parameters were

done on test bed. Major parameters like EGR rate, injection timing pilot injection and were done

on steady state test bench.

Once base is established engine was fitted on vehicle and further work started on vehicle on

chassis dynamometer. During chassis dynamometer test EGR rate and oxidation catalytic

convertor loading was optimized to reach to desired emissions.

With this method it is possible to reduce the engine emission development time and reduce the

cost of testing.

Following design were modified in base engine to meet full load performance requirement. [1]

Piston with re-entrant bowl with new shape with more cavity volume and depth to modify

compression ratio from 18.5 to 16.5. To meet power demand, variable geometry turbocharger

(VGT) with straight vanes were replaced with ‘S’ shape vane, VGT turbocharger to meet higher

air flow requirement.[2] EGR cooler was used to cool exhaust gas and supply of cooled EGR to

ensure control NOX emissions and particulate trade off at part load condition without increase in

smoke and particulates. Bosch Generation 2 common rail fuel injection system is kept same.

Injector hydraulic through flow and spray cone angle is redesigned to suit new modified

combustion bowl. Injector protrusion is re-optimized to suit new combustion chamber design [5,

6]. Glow plugs were introduced compulsory as starting aid to minimize the effect of compression

ratio on start ability at cold conditions. Figure 9 shows comparison of engine power and Torque

achieved with respect to baseline performance.

injection parameters like injection timing, injection pressure, pilot quantity, EGR rate, pilot

separation and different boost pressures to get optimized NOx-smoke trade-off and CO , HC

emission in control. AVL Cameo interfaced with common rail INCA software was used to run

engine with different operating points and optimum parameters were selected at each key points.

All optimized key points data was analyzed through excel base

program to check weather optimized results were close to legislation limits or not. By increasing

EGR rate PPM level of NOx was optimized. It was observed that smoke levels were drastically

increases when engine was optimized for Bharat stage 4 emission norms without EGR cooler.

EGR cooler was used with cooled EGR rate to control NOx and Smoke values to reach Bharat

stage 4 emission limits. Figure 10, 11, 12 and 13 shows engine out NOx, CO, HC and smoke at

14 mode points optimized from BS3 to BS4 emissions. Although CO and HC emissions were

more compared to BS3 were controlled by use of closed coupled DOC with higher platinum

loading and brought within the legislation limits.

4.2 Engine 14 mode hot emission and vehicle hot emission of chassis dynamometer results.

14 mode emission tests results of engine dynamometer and chassis dynamometers were

compared for HC+NOX and PM for Bharat stage 4 emission norms and hot engine out targets.

HC+NOx results are within 6 % as compared to chassis dynamometer results. Particulate (soot)

emissions are within 10 % with test bed and chassis dynamometer vehicle emissions. CO and HC

emissions are within the engineering test bed targets. There is big difference in CO and HC

emission margins and can be optimized on vehicle by use of suitable oxidation catalyst on

chassis dynamometer. Further refinements of injection parameters, EGR rate and playing with

catalytic converter loading on vehicle were done as per normal practice.

were comparable and give the confidence of selected hardware and combustion parameters to

proceed further for work on chassis dynamometer.

Engine design and developments is complex process. There is no short cut in development to meet future

ultra low emission norms due to complexity of engine features like common rail, EGR cooler, new

generation boosting system, etc.

Based on this developments following are conclusions.

5.1 Use of simulation tool helps early prediction of engine performance and selection of critical engine

hardware’s before engine goes in test bed.

5.2 Considerable development time of vehicle emission development time on chassis dynamometers can

be reduced by optimizing engine on steady points on test bench.

5.3 This method is very useful if one engine goes on different vehicles or having more vehicle variant to

meet same emission legislation.

5.4 Considerable development cost saving and crunch on overloading on infrastructure can be avoided.

5.5 Possible to do single engine development and use it on many vehicle variants with same emission

norms.

5.6 Very good correlation was seen for NOx and soot emissions between steady state and hot chassis

dynamometer.

5.7 For HC and CO correlations are not seen. This is mainly due to conversion efficiency and light of

temperature of catalyst.

5.8 Detection of wrong hardware at final stage of vehicle emission development testing becomes costly

affair in terms of time and cost.
