INGAS 12 months Meeting, Naples, 5-6 November 2009 INGAS INtegrated GAS Powertrain 9 Baseline Investigations: First tests are done and documented in SPA2 deliverable DA2.11 Further tests are planned with measurement of H2 content before catalyst Test program defined together with Daimler INGAS Subproject SPB2

INGAS 12 months Meeting, Naples, 5-6 November 2009 INGAS INtegrated GAS Powertrain 10 Results from baseline investigations (documented also in SPA2 deliverable DA2.11) –SOI Sweep -> influence of in cylinder homogenisation –Comparison of different operation strategies In-cylinder in-homogeneity Cylinder to cylinder Lambda deviation –Conversion efficiency series catalyst INGAS Subproject SPB2

INGAS 12 months Meeting, Naples, 5-6 November 2009 INGAS INtegrated GAS Powertrain 13 INGAS Subproject SPB2 Comparison of different operation strategies

INGAS 12 months Meeting, Naples, 5-6 November 2009 INGAS INtegrated GAS Powertrain 14 INGAS Subproject SPB2 Comparison of different operation strategies

INGAS 12 months Meeting, Naples, 5-6 November 2009 INGAS INtegrated GAS Powertrain 15 INGAS Subproject SPB2 Comparison of different operation strategies Maximum CO content (partload 2000rpm / 2bar bmep) with sufficient combustion stability Higher CO content possible with unbalanced cylinder lambda – Engine running smoothness suffers from different cylinder imep

INGAS 12 months Meeting, Naples, 5-6 November 2009 INGAS INtegrated GAS Powertrain 16 Comparison of different operation strategies CO content 1% (partload 2000rpm / 2bar bmep) for both strategies -> same exothermic reaction in catalyst INGAS Subproject SPB2 At the same (increased) CO content the strategy of unbalanced cylinders shows better combustion stability and better over all running smoothness

INGAS 12 months Meeting, Naples, 5-6 November 2009 INGAS INtegrated GAS Powertrain 18 Planned measurements with H2 analysis INGAS Subproject SPB2 For every load point adjust lambda in range 1.1 – 0.9 in 0.02 steps and measuring H 2, CO, CH 4, NO X, NO, O 2, lambda raw emissions before catalyst. That means 10 measurements for each engine load point, if possible with cold coolant. Hold engine load until concentrations become nearly state or ~3min. LFNRNPMEFFMDPEFF -1/minbarNmkW

INGAS 12 months Meeting, Naples, 5-6 November 2009 INGAS INtegrated GAS Powertrain 19 Next Steps AVL (month13-18) –Baseline investigations with analysis of H2 raw emissions -> –Further tests for advanced catalyst heating strategy – This tasks is performed in SPA2 WPA2.4. A frequent data exchange to Daimler is planned. –Depending on availability of components (catalysts with new formulations and EAT System) baseline investigations and operation strategies can be tested on the test bed INGAS Subproject SPB2

INGAS 12 months Meeting, Naples, 5-6 November 2009 INGAS INtegrated GAS Powertrain 20 Problems / Changes compared to plan –Due to HW problems with the engine and components (cam phaser, injector) baseline investigations are delayed but should be done within the next weeks –A first calibrated full engine map will not be available within HW problems are not 100% solved yet. Cam phaser problems lead to the risk of engine damage at high engine speed. INGAS Subproject SPB2
