Effect of Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) on Performance and Emission of a Compression Ignition Engine with Staged Combustion (Insertion of Unburned Hydrocarbon)

Abstract

The usage of EGR adopted diesel engine increasing day by day world wide to reduce the NOx emissions. The EGR adopted engines can reduce NOx Considerably but it adversely improves the emissions of UHC nearly 40 to 50 %. We can avoid this effect by Reutilizat ion of UHC. In this paper the experimental investigation has been carried out on EGR adopted direct injection co mpression ignition engine with insertion of unburned hydro carbon rich exhaust. The results were presented and compared with all EGR levels. The result were evidenced that can reduce 20 to 25 % of UHC by this method.
