To study the effect of pre-combustion
chamber in a Mercedes-Benz automobile
Introduction :
• An indirect injection diesel engine delivers fuel into a
chamber off the combustion chamber, called a pre-
chamber where combustion begins and then
spreads into the main combustion chamber
• Assists in creating turbulence which ensures rapid
mixing of air-fuel mixture and allows the flame front
to propagate quickly in to the whole chamber thereby
resulting in more efficient and complete burning of
fuel and excellent power delivery.
• .
•
Disadvantages
Advantages:
Increase in heat loss to the engine's cooling system
• Fast combustion speed.
Grater emissions than direct-injection engines.
• Injector pressures can be lower, at about 100 bar( 1500
psi)
• Mechanical injection systems allowed high-speed running
Visualisation of the Combustion Phenomena
Flame Front Propagation
The flame jet from the auxiliary chamber
maintained excellent penetration and was directed
at the wall of the combustion chamber at high
speed
Acting as the ignition source, the flame spread
over multiple zones rapidly combusted the lean
air-fuel mixture
Closer to ideal combustion at higher thermal
efficiency and lower NOx emissions than an engine
without the pre-chamber was obtained.
