Abstract The Miller cycle is a program that effectively reduces NO_x emissions from marine diesel engines by lowering the maximum combustion temperature in the cylinder, thereby reducing NO_x emissions. To effectively investigate the impact of Miller cycle optimum combustion performance and emission capability under high load conditions, this study will perform a one-dimensional simulation of the performance of a marine diesel engine, as well as a three-dimensional simulation of the combustion in the cylinder. A 6-cylinder four-stroke single-stage supercharged diesel engine is taken as the research object. The chassis dynamometer and other related equipment are used to… More >

Abstract This paper aims to design a special exchanger to recover the exhaust gas heat of marine diesel engines used in small and medium-sized fishing vessels, which can then be used to heat water up to 55°C–85°C for membrane desalination devices to produce fresh water. A new exhaust-gas heat exchanger of fins and tube, with a reinforced heat transfer tube section, unequal spacing fins, a mixing zone between the fin groups and four routes tube bundle, was designed. Numerical simulations were also used to provide reference information for structural design. Experiments were carried out for exhaust… More >

Abstract Diesel particulate filter (DPF) is a leading technology reducing particle emissions from marine diesel engines. The removal or regeneration of soot in DPF is an important issue. The purpose of this study is to provide some reference strategies to design the DPF for marine diesel engines. In this paper, a mathematical model of a marine DPF was built up and the particle trap process and the regeneration dynamics were simulated. The results show that the cake soot mass concentrations from 0 to 4.2 g/L during the trap process increase linearly with the increase of the… More >

Abstract Proper design of exhaust systems in marine high-power turbocharged diesel engines can contribute to improve the low-speed performance of these engines and make the working conditions of the cylinders more uniform. Here a high-power marine 16-cylinder V-type turbocharged diesel engine is simulated using the GT-Power software. The results reveal the differences induced by different exhaust system structures, such as an 8-cylinder-in-pipe exhaust system with single/double superchargers and a 4-cylinder-in-pipe exhaust system with a single supercharger. After a comparative analysis, the 8-cylinder type with double superchargers is determined to be the optimal solution, and the structure More >
