Abstract

In order to clarify the combustion behavior in the combustion chamber of a high-speed DI diesel engine, the cylinder pressure and the radiant heat emission were measured simultaneously by using a small-sized piezo pressure transducer and an optical fiber thermometer (OFT) with the light pipe sensor respectively. The OFT output was compared with the soot formation and burn-up processes estimated by the simplified in-cylinder two-zone model. It was found that the diffusion burning stage usually started at a time close to the first maximum heat release, and a good correlation was shown between the measured exhaust smoke density and the integrated quantity of apparent diffusion combustion.
