Experimental Investigation on a Common Rail TDI Diesel Engine with Thermally Isolated Piston Bowl
Basics
The so-called adiabatic engine is an often-discussed topic since a long time. Several studies at this time have proved that thermal isolation of the combustion chamber leads to higher fuel consumption.
In our study only the piston bowl will be isolated with metal. The surface temperature is measured with infrared pyrometer.
The task of the study is to investigate the influence of surface temperature on the oxidation processes of soot particles close to the isolated walls.
