Abstract

The thermal response from in-cylinder combustion to exhaust aftertreatment was investigated for a 4-stroke single cylinder Yanmar diesel engine. The thermal characteristics of late post-injection inside the cylinder for enabling aftertreatment operations were simulated and experimentally verified. The cylinder head of the Yanmar engine was modified for measurement of in-cylinder pressure and temperature. A real-time heat release model was developed for analyzing the diesel combustion based upon the acquired cylinder pressure. However, the in-cylinder measurements could not be realized due to limitations of the thermocouple signal conditioning system. The thermal response from in-cylinder combustion to exhaust aftertreatment for the Yanmar diesel engine was characterized in terms of a heat loss coefficient and a time constant. Moreover, the effect of mass flowrate on both these factors was also evaluated. The procedure for quantifying the overall thermal response has been reported in detail.
