Numerical study on steam injection in a turbocompound diesel engine for waste heat recovery

摘要

Steam injection and turbocompouding are both effective methods for engine waste heat recovery. The fuel saving potential obtained by the combination of the two methods is not clear. Based on a turbocompound engine developed in the previous study, the impacts of pre-turbine steam injection on the fuel saving potentials, of the turbocompound engine were investigated in this paper.
