Abstract

A 3D simulation model of a single cylinder of a natural gas engine was established. PFI natural gas DI gasoline was used to control the time matching between injection and ignition, so that gasoline could form a small active stratified area near the spark plug. The combustion characteristics under different matching conditions were studied, and finally compared with pure natural gas. It is found that gasoline can be used in large cylinder diameter natural gas engine in a small range, which can accelerate the combustion of natural gas fuel, shorten the time used by CA0-CA5 by 77.6%, shorten the time used by CA5-CA90 by 26.5%, and increase the indicated thermal efficiency of natural gas engine by 1.4%.
