A dual-spark plug ignition system is assembled on a gasoline engine ignited by single-spark plug with homogeneous premixed combustion. By reconstructing electronic control fuel injection system
it is observed that the engine can be steadily operated in a mild homogeneous lean burn mode. To further investigate the effect of double-spark plug ignition on mild homogeneous lean combustion
three running states
dual-park plug with chemical equivalent ratio(λ=1)
dual-spark plug with lean mixture(λ=1.1)and single-park plug with equivalent ratio(λ=1)
are tested for character diagnosis of the combustion. The overall effect of in-cylinder combustion acceleration due to the double-spark plug ignition is mainly reflected in the early combustion stage of 10%-50% mass fraction burned; and the heat release together with the cyclic variation of the double-spark plug with lean mixture is superior to the single-spark plug with stoichiometric mixture obviously. And the effect of combustion process accelerating in the cylinder
cyclic variation rate reducing as well as the combustion stability improving are much more outstanding for the double-spark plug ignition
especially under the unstable combustion condition with lower load. Bench test also shows that the dual-spark plug lean burn mode enables to improve fuel economy by 3%-6% compared with single-spark plug stoichiometric mode in the lean burn operation area
and to reduce emission of deleterious substances.
