Abstract

The effects of spark advance angle on combustion and emission characteristics of a compressed natural gas engine have been investigated experimentally in this paper. The experimental data was conducted under various excessive air coefficient conditions using an electronic ignition system developed self-dependently. The results show that the peak cylinder pressure and peak rate of pressure rise ascends with the increase of spark advance angle in a certain extent, and their corresponding location are advanced. The CO emission keeps almost the same as the spark advance angle varies in the overall mode range. The HC and NO x emissions ascend with the increase of spark advance angle under the condition that excessive air coefficient is near the theoretical value. Under the lean-burn condition, the HC and NO x emissions are almost the same while the spark advance angle varies.
