separation valve is installed just after exhaust valve, it must be easy<br />

to achieve the gas separation. The exhaust gas with mainly<br />

combustion gas shall be led into high temperature receiver and the<br />

exhaust gas with almost fresh air shall be led into low temperature<br />

receiver. The high temperature receiver is connected to turbocharger,<br />

and the low temperature receiver is connected to the scavenge<br />

receiver through EGS cooler and blower. The gas separation valve<br />

will be managed by electronic control units to adjust the valve<br />

timings for better total thermal efficiency. As a result of EGS system<br />

application, many kinds of advantages can be produced.<br />

• Waste Heat Recovery (WHR) rate of exhaust gas energy can be<br />

drastically improved by increased gas temperature in high<br />

temperature receiver<br />

• WHR system can be downsized by the decreased gas flow<br />

amount and increased temperature<br />

• Turbocharger can be downsized by the decreased gas flow<br />

amount<br />

• Conventional Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) can be placed<br />

after gas outlet of turbocharger instead of before turbocharger<br />

• SCR can be downsized by the decreased gas flow amount and<br />

concentrated density of NOx<br />

• Engine performance at part load can be improved by adjusted<br />

gas flow amount with the gas separation valve timing<br />

Some pre-tests have been carried out on our test engine to clarify the<br />

possibility of EGS implementation. Simulations of engine<br />

performance have been made after the pre-test to study EGS system<br />

from the viewpoints of WHR, SCR application, and so on.<br />

This paper begins with the explanation of EGS concept and deals<br />

with pre-tests results comparing the calculation results. Furthermore,<br />

prospective improvements of WHR and SCR installation are<br />

discussed as the investigation results of engine performance<br />

calculation and heat dissipation simulation as a whole system.<br />

PIV study of the effect of piston motion on<br />

the confined swirling flow in the<br />

scavenging process in 2-stroke marine<br />

diesel engines<br />

The effect of piston motion on the incylinder swirling flow for a low<br />

speed, large two-stroke marine diesel engine is studied using the<br />

stereoscopic PIV technique. The measurements are conducted at 5<br />

cross sectional planes along the cylinder length and at piston<br />

positions covering the air intake ports by 0%, 25%, 50% and 75%.<br />

The resulting swirling flow decays downstream the bulk flow<br />

direction and variation in Reynolds number has only effect in terms<br />

of magnitude. When the piston translates towards the top-deadcentre,<br />

it gradually starts closing the intake ports. The tangential<br />

velocity profile changes from Rankine/ Burgers vortex to forced<br />

vortex and axial velocity profile changes from wake-like to jet-like<br />

and then again to wake-like profile..<br />

Design of experiments analysis of the NOx-<br />

SFOC trade-off in two-stroke marine engine<br />

Conducting tests on large marine two-stroke engines is very<br />

expensive in terms of manpower, and the running costs – especially<br />

the fuel oil consumption – are significant. In order to achieve high<br />

quality and steady state results, the time required per test is also a<br />

major constrain on the extent of the test plan. In order to reduce the<br />

number of tests required to map the response surface of a given<br />

number of variables, the theory of design of experiments (DOE) is<br />

applied in the present study. Further, a strategy of achieving quasi<br />

steady state in which tests are conducted fast allowing only little<br />

time for engine stabilisation upon changing parameters is utilised in<br />

order to bring down the time required per test. In the present study<br />

we present results of the mapping of the response surfaces of NOx,<br />

SFOC, and maximum cylinder pressure with respect to start of<br />

injection, exhaust valve closing, injection pressure, injection nozzle<br />

hole size, injection profile characteristics, and turbocharger turbine<br />

area. Special emphasis is laid on the SFOC/ NOx trade-off and<br />

identifying the means to meet future NOx emissions legislation<br />

(IMO Tier II), while minimising the penalty in specific fuel oil<br />

consumption. Different scenarios are investigated by means of<br />

constrained optimisation mapping the results as function of usually<br />

measured performance parameters, such as scavenge pressure,<br />

compression pressure, maximum pressure, etc.<br />

Diesel Engines – Modelling II<br />

Combustion chamber design to control<br />

particulate matter emission<br />

P. Tremuli, A. Skipton Carter, Ricardo UK Ltd., UK<br />

This paper outlines the possibility to comply with the exhaust<br />

emissions legislation faced by medium speed engine manufacturers,<br />

considering mainly the application of primary in-cylinder<br />

technologies. The potential for reduced particulate emissions at low<br />

NOx levels is the focus. Ricardo’s development of a combustion<br />

system for engines in the range of 170 – 230 mm bore assisted by<br />

3D CFD analysis using Ricardo engine focused CFD code VECTIS is<br />

described. As well as reducing engine-out particulate matter (PM)<br />

emissions, the low soot combustion system should benefit engine<br />

first cost, whole life costs and engine and aftertreatment durability<br />

and reliability.<br />

Computational study of in-cylinder NOx<br />

reduction in a large marine diesel engine<br />

using water injection strategies<br />

Recently imposed regulations by the International Maritime<br />

Organization (IMO) include a 16% reduction in Nitric Oxides<br />

(NOx) emissions between 2000 and 2011 for low-speed large marine<br />

Diesel engines, and an 80% reduction by 2016 for the Emission<br />

Control Areas (ECAs). Current research efforts for reducing NOx in<br />

large marine engines consider multiple injection strategies, water<br />

addition, Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) and catalytic converters.<br />

In the present work, the potential for NOx emissions reduction in a<br />

large two-stroke marine diesel engine by means of Direct Water<br />

Injection (DWI), as well as intake water addition, is studied using<br />

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. The modeling<br />

platform is a modified version of the CFD code KIVA-3V. For a given<br />

fuel injection profile, the effect of water mass on NOx emissions is<br />

first investigated, and compared to a reference case of zero water<br />

mass. The results indicate that Direct Water Injection is substantially<br />

more effective than intake water addition. Next, a variation of fuel<br />

injection profiles (for both techniques), as well as of water injectors’<br />

locations (for DWI) is performed; the effects on NOx and soot<br />
