Title:
Effects of High Power and Thermal Efficiency on Lean
Limit in Direct Injection Natural Gas Fueled Spark
Ignition Engine

Abstract: This article
represents two technical methods to estimate the
extension of lean limit for direct injection natural gas
fueled spark ignition engine. The first method is
increasing compression ratio in part load, in which the
thermal efficiency and the turbulence intensity near the
top dead centre are enhanced simultaneously. On the
contrary, the increase of boost pressure by
supercharging is not only enhanced supply energy but
also increased the turbulence intensity at the beginning
of the compression process. The obtained results
indicated that, the high power has effectively extended
the lean limit in comparison with high efficiency only.
This effectiveness is proved by the difference in two
lean limits of λ = 1.41 and λ = 1.49 when compression
ratio and boost pressure increase respectively.
