The Effect of Spray Angles of the Injector on the Power of Compressed Natural Gas Direct Injection (CNGDI) Engine

摘要

A study was carried out on the new design of fuel injectors for Compressed Natural Gas Direct Injection (CNGDI) engine. There are two injectors designed with 30° and 70° spray angle was developed and tested. The tests on the injectors were carried out using Single Cylinder Research Engine SCRE with compression ratio of 14:1. The SCRE test bed used computerized data acquisition system. There are two main parameters for the selection of the best injector i.e. the spray angle (30° and 70°) and the operating pressure is set at 2.0 MPa. From the study, the engine performance and the emission were recorded from the test. The results indicated that the injector with 70° spray angle achieved higher performance than the other injector.
