Abstract:

In this paper, the influence of valve overlap angle formed by variable intake timing (IVT), variable exhaust timing (EVT) and variable intake and exhaust timing strategy (IEVT) on combustion and particulate emission of the direct injection gasoline engine is studied. It is found that the increase of positive valve overlap angle under the three timing strategies under low load will lead to the increase of residual exhaust gas in the cylinder,prolonged ignition delay and increased combustion duration, and reduce fuel consumption and HC emissions at first and then increase, and reduce NO x emission. At the same valve overlap angle, EVT has the largest amount of residual exhaust gas, while IVT can improve the pumping loss by 15.6%. Compared with IVT and EVT, IEVT still burns stably at the overlapping angle of 60 ° CA and reduces heat transfer loss and exhaust loss, with reduction offuel consumption by 8.67%, reduction of NO x by 96.57%, and reduction of the total number of particles by 89.43%.
