Abstract

With increasingly stringent emissions regulations, there are growing demands for the transient performance of diesel engines. This study conducted a transient bench test on a two-stage turbocharged heavy-duty diesel engine to optimize its performance during a load increase (20% to 100% in 1 s) at a constant speed (1200 RPM) transient process. The results showed that the transient control scheme using the low-pressure EGR system resulted in a 42.1% reduction in the peak value of soot emission, a 24.8% decrease in the peak value of NOx emission, a 9.14% decrease in ISFC and a 30.6% increase in maximum IMEP achieved in 1 s, compared to the steady-state optimization control scheme without EGR. Transient control scheme using the high-pressure EGR system resulted in a 24.4% reduction in the peak value of soot emission, a 31.8% reduction in the peak value of NOx emission, a 9.52% reduction in ISFC, and a 31.7% increase in maximum IMEP achieved in 1 s. The comparison of high and low-pressure EGR systems revealed that the low-pressure EGR system produced lower compromising emissions, while alterations in control parameters for the diesel engine with a high-pressure EGR system had a more significant impact on the transient process performance.
