- Many experiments are carried out using a model fuel, for instance for measurement technique reasons. These data are usually transferred to situations where standard diesel fuel is used. The objective of this work is to characterize the liquid and vapour phase penetration of two different diesel fuels, one two-component model fuel, IDEA (70% n-decane and 30% α-methylnaphthalene) and one standard diesel fuel (Swedish Environmental Class I), when injected into air with density corresponding to early injections up to self ignition conditions in diesel engines. The experimental study was carried out in the high-pressure, high-temperature (HP/HT) spray rig at Chalmers, which was pressurized in the range of 4 to 85 bar and with temperature ranging from 400 to 800 K.A common-rail injection system with a single hole nozzle was used. Several optical methods (Schlieren, Shadowgraph, LIF (Laser Induced Fluorescence) and Mie-scattering) were used together or separately which allow a comparison of the output. Phase Doppler Anemometry (PDA) was used for the two fuels as a complement to the planar methods. Results from measurements show that there are differences in liquid penetration, fuel vaporization and droplet distribution in between the fuels and relatively good agreement between the methods

Fuel distribution visualization from an air-assisted injector in a spray chamber

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Optical measurements have been performed to visualize the fuel distribution from an air-assisted GDI injector in a constant volume spray chamber. In the air-assisted injector, fuel droplet breakup occurs as the droplets are accelerated by the expanded air flow passing out through the injector nozzle. The injector design allows for two distinct modes of operation: stratified (low load) and homogenous (full load). Therefore, measurements were taken at back-pressure and temperature settings corresponding to both low and full loads, to investigate the influence of these variables on fuel distribution, droplet sizes and velocities in the two modes.Results from PDA measurements show that most of the droplet break-up occurs inside the nozzle. Downstream of the nozzle, rates of break-up and evaporation are low. The cause of the low breakup and evaporation rates downstream of the nozzle is believed to be the low relative velocity between the liquid fuel and the surrounding cold air jet.The fuel distribution has been visualized qualitatively by simultaneous MIE and LIF measurements with two intensified digital cameras in combination with a 266 nm YAG-laser.
