Abstract(E)The EU recently decided to reduce CO2 emissions of commercial vehicle fleets by 30% until 2030. One possible way to achieve this target is to convert commercial vehicle diesel engines into stoichiometric natural gas engines. Based on this, a commercial vehicle single cylinder diesel engine with variable valve actuation and high-pressure EGR is converted into natural gas operation to increase efficiency and thus reduce CO2. Additionally, a water injection system is integrated. All three technologies are investigated on their own and in combination. To reduce longer combustion durations caused by Miller valve timing and charge dilution, a piston bowl with extra high turbulence generation is designed. Additionally, a swirl variation is carried out. The results show, that high swirl motion and high turbulence can lead to a disadvantage in efficiency despite faster combustion durations due to higher wall heat losses. However, by using suitable combinations, it is possible to minimize throttle losses in low load operation and achieve optimum combustion locations (8°CA aFTDC) at full load operation with conventional compression ratios (ε=12). This allows for an increase in geometric compression ratio and thus in efficiency. Efficiency improvements of over 2 %-points have been achieved at full load with common natural gas (MN ~81.5). This helps to fulfil future CO2/NOx legislations for HD commercial vehicle engines.

How to use the search box

You can enter up to 5 search conditions. The number of search boxes can be increased or decreased with the "+" and "-" buttons on the right.
If you enter multiple words separated by spaces in one search box, the data that "contains all" of the entered words will be searched (AND search).
Example) X (space) Y → "X and Y (including)"

How to use "AND" and "OR" pull-down

If "AND" is specified, the "contains both" data of the phrase entered in the previous and next search boxes will be searched. If you specify "OR", the data that "contains" any of the words entered in the search boxes before and after is searched.
Example) X AND Y → "X and Y (including)"  X OR Z → "X or Z (including)"
If AND and OR searches are mixed, OR search has priority.
Example) X AND Y OR Z → X AND (Y OR Z)
If AND search and multiple OR search are mixed, OR search has priority.
Example) W AND X OR Y OR Z → W AND (X OR Y OR Z)

How to use the search filters

Use the "search filters" when you want to narrow down the search results, such as when there are too many search results. If you check each item, the search results will be narrowed down to only the data that includes that item.
The number in "()" after each item is the number of data that includes that item.
