Abstract

The paper gives a comprehensive overview regarding all relevant operation parameters mainly influencing the energy balance of a state-of-the-art automotive Diesel engine. A detailed experimental analysis of the influence of injection timing and pressure, EGR rate, boost pressure, charge air temperature, coolant temperature and swirl flap position is presented. The investigation includes combustion chamber energy balances based on pressure trace analyses (internal energy balance) as well as outer energy balances that take into account all outgoing and incoming energy flows of the engine based on extensive temperature and flow measurements of the relevant fluids. Measurements of the engine structure temperatures are used to complete the analysis of the thermal engine behaviour depending on the operating parameters. The aim of the paper is to give an overview which operating parameters are crucial for thermal engine application and simulation.
