Abstract:The experimental investigation on the load expansion and performance optimizing of a turbulent jet ignition (TJI) methanol engine were carried out in this work. The results show that, under lean conditions i.e. when excess air coefficient is greater than 1.4, the combustion stability and power performance of the methanol engine with TJI system under high-engine load conditions were improved by adopting intake boost technology. And the fuel economy and emission performance of TJI methanol engine were optimized. Meanwhile, the strategies to achieve best fuel consumption rate of a TJI methanol engine under a wide range of engine load were proposed. Under light-load operating conditions, compared to the quality adjustment strategy, a 5.2% reduction of fuel consumption rate were obtained at the indicated mean effective pressure(IMEP) of 0.30 MPa by using the quantity adjustment strategy, and the emissions in terms of CO, HCHO and HC were reduced. Moreover, the usage of quantity adjustment strategy can avoid the deterioration of combustion caused by the over-lean mixture and improve the combustion stability of the TJI methanol engine.
