Limit in Direct Injection Natural Gas Fueled Spark
Ignition Engine

Abstract:
This article represents two technical methods to
estimate the extension of lean limit for direct
injection natural gas fueled spark ignition engine. The
first method is increasing compression ratio in part
load, in which the thermal efficiency and the turbulence
intensity near the top dead centre are enhanced
simultaneously. On the contrary, the increase of boost
pressure by supercharging is not only enhanced supply
energy but also increased the turbulence intensity at
the beginning of the compression process. The obtained
results indicated that, the high power has effectively
extended the lean limit in comparison with high
efficiency only. This effectiveness is proved by the
difference in two lean limits of λ = 1.41 and λ = 1.49
when compression ratio and boost pressure increase
respectively.
