Optimization of Fuel Injection Parameters for Meeting Euro III Exhaust Emission Norms on a Heavy-Duty Diesel Engine Using Taguchi Technique

摘要

Diesel engine performance is being continuously enhanced in the last decades in pursuit of high power density, improved fuel economy and low emission compliance. Developments in combustion technologies, advanced electronic fuel injection, refined engine and injection parameters have helped engineers tune eco-friendly diesel engines resulting in simultaneous NO{sub}x-PM reduction. Understanding engine and injection parameters and their effects on exhaust emissions is vital for producing cleaner diesel engines and is therefore a subject of intense research.
