Effect of Inlet air Pressure and Egr rate on the Diesel Engine Performance

Nikunj D Patel, Gaurav P Rathod, Tushar M Patel

Abstract :

 By using D.I. Engines, main pollutants contributed are NOx, Co, unburned hydrocarbons (HC) and other 

particulate emissions. This paper mainly focuses on reducing exhaust emission and energy saving by investigating diesel combustion with Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system. The number of experiments were conducted on a four stroke direct injection water cooled constant speed diesel engine with EGR systems. In the experiment, 
EGR system was given individually and also with varying inlet air pressure. In this experiment, compressor was used to 
pressurize the intake air. The experiments were carried out to evaluate the performance effect at different EGR rates 
and varying inlet air pressure of the engine. In the result, Performance parameters such as Brake thermal efficiency, 
ake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) were estimated. Effect on NOx were observed. So the modified engine provides greater NOx reduction and better fuel economy without reducing useful characteristics (ake power, ake thermal efficiency etc.) of the Diesel engine.
