RETRACTED: Effect of Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) on Performance and Emission characteristics of a Three Cylinder Direct Injection Compression Ignition Engine

Investigations of emission characteristics were carried out on a compression ignition, dimethyl ether engine (DME) with exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and on a diesel engine with a dimethyl carbonate (DMC) additive. The experimental results show that the DME engine with EGR can simultaneously reduce smoke and NOx emissions. The NOx can be reduced by about 20 per cent for every 10 per cent of EGR introduction, while smoke remains at zero. The diesel equivalent brake specific fuel consumption (b.s.f.c.) shows a slight decrease when DMC is added, while the effective thermal efficiency shows a slight improvement. It is found that the smoke reduction rate and smoke show a linear relationship with DMC percentage or oxygen mass percentage in the diesel fuel. For the specific brake mean effective pressure (b.m.e.p.), smoke will be reduced by 20 per cent for every 10 per cent DMC added and by 40 per cent when the oxygen mass percentage in the fuel reaches 10 per cent. The CO decreases when DMC is added, while NOx shows an increase. This difference is pronounced at a high b.m.e.p. For the specific b.m.e.p., CO and NOx show a linear relationship with DMC mass percentage in the fuel; CO will be reduced by 20 per cent while NOx will be increased by 20 per cent for every 10 per cent DMC added.

The combustion performance of a conventional rail diesel engine was investigated by measuring the exhaust gas with the respect to the number of injector holes, fuel type, and the use of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), to provide a detailed reduction of environmental pollutants. It was found that a six- or seven-hole injector was more effective than a five-hole injector for reducing the exhaust gas. In addition, the mixing of 20% biodiesel oil with diesel most effectively reduced the HC and NOx contents. The technology generally reduced the NOx and CO contents of the exhaust, but had no significant effect on the HC and CO2 contents.

Gas Recirculation

This experimental investigation was aimed to investigate the effect of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) on wear of in-cylinder engine parts. EGR setup was prepared for a two-cylinder, air-cooled, constant-speed direct-injection compression-ignition engine. Test setup was run for 96hr under predetermined loading cycles in two phases; normally, operating condition (i.e., without EGR) and with a fixed EGR rate of 25%. Addition of metallic wear debris in the lubricating oil samples drawn after regular interval from both engine operating phases was investigated. Relatively higher concentrations of all wear metals were found in the lubricating oil of the EGR-operated engine, which indicates higher wear of various engine parts. Weight loss of piston rings used in both phases was compared to quantify the amount of wear of piston rings. To quantify the amount of cylinder wear surface roughness parameters of cylinder liners were measured at three positions (top dead center, mid-stroke, and bottom dead center) on thrust and anti-thrust side. A qualitative analysis was also carried out by taking surface profiles and Scanning Electron Micrographs at same locations.
