Effects of injection parameters and intake air temperature on acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) blend HCCI-DI engine
Homogeneous charge compression ignition-direct injection (HCCI-DI) approach was reported to effectively eliminating the problems associated with HCCI engine while promoting HCCI combustion. Acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fuel has been studied previously to replace butanol due to its lower production...

Further experiments were carried out using ABE10 with different intake temperatures (60 °C, 80 °C, 100 °C, 120 °C and 140 °C), port injection timings (230 °CA BTDC, 250 °CA BTDC, 270 °CA BTDC, 290 °CA BTDC and 310 °CA BTDC) and port injection pulse widths (3 ms, 4 ms and 5 ms).

description |
Homogeneous charge compression ignition-direct injection (HCCI-DI) approach was reported to effectively eliminating the problems associated with HCCI engine while promoting HCCI combustion. Acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fuel has been studied previously to replace butanol due to its lower production cost and time. This paper aims to extend the potentials of ABE fuel in HCCI-DI engine with other parameters such as intake air temperature, port injection timing and port injection pulse width also investigated. Diesel, ABE5 (5 % ABE and 95 % diesel by vol.) and ABE10 (10 % ABE and 90 % diesel by vol.) were used with different engine loads (1 Nm, 2 Nm, 3 Nm, 4 Nm and 5 Nm). Further experiments were carried out using ABE10 with different intake temperatures (60 °C, 80 °C, 100 °C, 120 °C and 140 °C), port injection timings (230 °CA BTDC, 250 °CA BTDC, 270 °CA BTDC, 290 °CA BTDC and 310 °CA BTDC) and port injection pulse widths (3 ms, 4 ms and 5 ms). It was found that increasing ABE ratio reduces the brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) and increases the brake thermal efficiency (BTE) of the HCCI-DI engine. Up to 13.55 % and 23.8 % BTE improvement when ABE5 and ABE10 were used compared to diesel respectively.
