Abstract

Conventional EGR controlling methods do not consider the influences of intake charge and its composition on engine combustion characteristics, So it is hard to meet the requirements of emission control under transient conditions. This paper qualitatively analyzes the inhibition mechanism of EGR on NOx. Through GT-Power model of TCD2015V06 diesel engine, the quantitative analyses of the effects of thermal effect, dilution effect and chemical effect of EGR as well as intake charge decreasing on engine combustion and emissions are made. Simulation results show that dilution effect and lowering of cylinder total heat capacity play a dominant role on the effect of NOx formation. Intake oxygen concentration and intake oxygen flow are two important parameters reflecting NOx and Soot emission respectively. The study provides support to a new EGR controlling method.
