Abstract
Emissions of internal combustion engines are linked to air pollution, global warming effects and are potentially harmful. In order to reduce emissions, a better understanding of combustion processes is necessary. Therefore, the combustion temperature is an important factor to know, because it has an impact on the amount of exhaust gases like soot and nitrogen oxides. This work presents a complete spectral resolved emission spectroscopy based sensor system for temperature determining in compression ignition engines. The sensor system is developed for series engines and can be used without any modification of the engine.
Zusammenfassung
Die Emissionen von Verbrennungsmotoren werden mit Luftverschmutzung, sowie der globalen Erderwärmung in Verbindung gebracht und gelten als potentiell gesundheitsschädlich. Für eine notwendige Reduzierung dieser Emissionen ist ein besseres Verständnis der motorischen Verbrennungsprozesse notwendig. Dabei ist die Kenntnis der Verbrennungstemperatur von besonderem Interesse. So hat sie beispielsweise Einfluss auf die Rußbildung und- oxidation sowie auf die Stickoxidbildung. Daher wird in der vorliegenden Untersuchung auf Basis der spektral und zeitaufgelösten Emissionsspektroskopie ein Sensorsystem zur Temperaturbestimmung in Dieselmotoren vorgestellt. Dieser Sensor ist speziell für den Einsatz an Vorserien- und Serienmotoren entwickelt worden und benötigt keine Modifikationen am Motor.
