| Sumario: | [EN] This paper evaluates the potential advantages of introducing a new injector concept with a dual set of orifices in a 2-stroke engine operating with gasoline partially premixed combustion (PPC gasoline), specially in terms of combustion noise reduction. The injector is based on a configuration with two concentric needle valves and dual actuators, which allows to switch among two independent crowns of holes. The first set of orifices is controlled by the primary needle valve while an additional needle valve manages the secondary holes crown. Moreover, both valves are coupled with the two actuators separately, providing enhanced selective control over injection with an extra degree of freedom. In this investigation, a combination of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations and the Design of Experiments (DoE) technique is proposed with the specific purpose of optimizing this new injector configuration. In addition to determining the most convenient design, this method is extremely useful to establish cause/effect relationships between the injection design parameters and their impact on the engine performance and emissions. Results show how this solution could increase the operating range of the PPC gasoline concept by improving the combustion stability while acoustic emissions are reduced |
