Combustion
Phase I: premixed combustion
- The fuel injected during the ignition delay mixes
with air in the combustion chamber and forms a
nearly homogeneous and reaction-capable
mixture.
- After the ignition delay period, this mixture burns
very quickly (premixed peak).
- The combustion noise typical for the diesel
engine is caused by the high pressure increase
speed dp / dϕ at combustion start.
Combustion
Phase II: diffusion combustion
- Mixture formation processes continue during the
main combustion phase and decisively influence
both the combustion course itself as well as
pollutant formation.
- The chemistry of this phase is very rapid
- the combustion process is controlled by the
mixing rate
- The end of the main combustion phase is
characterized by the attainment of the maximum
temperature in the combustion chamber.
Combustion
Phase III: Post - combustion
- Towards the end of combustion, pressure and
temperature in the flame front have decreased
so much that chemical reactions become slow in
comparison with the simultaneously progressing
mixture processes.
- This last combustion phase is thus decisive
especially for the oxidation of previously formed
soot.
- Over 90 % of the total soot produced is broken
down again in the combustion chamber during
this phase.
