Abstract:

The altitude pressure of 10 m， 700 m and 2400 m were simulated to explore the combustion and emission of diesel-methanol dual fuel engine in different altitude. The test conditions were 25%， 50% and 75% load at 1800 r/min. The results demonstrated that under 25% load， misfire emerge in the cylinder at 40% methanol substitution percentage （MSP） and 2400 m， which lead to the peak pressure decrease in the cylinder， the combustion delay period will be prolonged， and the diffusion combustion will be shortened. Under 50% and 75% loads， the increasing of altitude and MSP result in peak pressure increasing in the cylinder. The combustion duration decreases with the increasing of MSP and increases with the increasing of altitude in all conditions. Compared with the pure diesel mode in 10 m， under different altitudes and MSP， the maximum ignition delay period of the engine is extended by 27.01% and the minimum is shortened by 28.99%. The maximum combustion duration is shortened by 43.20% and extended by 22.79%， the CA50 moves forward by 8.55% ~ 21.82%， and the in-cylinder combustion temperature rises by 1.45% ~ 23.83%. The brake thermal efficiency of the engine decreases with the increase of altitude and increases with the increase of MSP at 50% and 75% loads. However， brake thermal efficiency presents a more complex variation rule under 25% load. Among the pollutant emission， with the increase of MSP， NO x and Soot decreased simultaneously， HC and CO increased simultaneously under the same load. With the increase of altitude， the emission almost all showed an upward trend. The research can provide reference for the in-cylinder combustion and emission of diesel/methanol dual fuel engine in the plateau area.
