Investigation of natural gas energy fraction and injection timing on the performance and emissions of a dual-fuel engine with pre-combustion chamber under low engine load
Improved cylinder charge as a result of high swirling motion of pre-chamber. Drastic reduction of NOx at 60% natural gas energy fraction compared to diesel mode. Higher unburned methane emissions under dual-fuel operation. 46% decrease of unburned methane emissions by using pre-combustion chamber.
