Effect of Geometrical Parameters on Combustion Characteristics for Single-Orifice Active Pre-Chamber Based on Volume Constant Combustion Vessel
Based on the test platform of volume constant combustion bomb,the influence of geometrical parameters of the premixed single-orifice active pre-chamber on the ignition characteristics of the pre-chamber were investigated by the combustion visualization method.During the pressure constant combustion process in the early stage of flame development,the time from the start of ignition until the flame area reaches half of the visible window area of the combustion vessel is defined as the initial flame development time,which is used as a reference index to measure the ignition effect of the active pre-chamber under different geometrical parameters:under the test conditions of different orifice diameters(2.0~4.0 mm),different inner diameters of the pre-chamber channel(3.0~5.5 mm),and different open angles of the lower end(0°~75°),the maximal differences of initial flame development time are 9.3 ms,6.8 ms,and 2.9 ms,respectively.Therefore,the effect of the three geometrical parameters on the ignition effect of the single-orifice active pre-chamber are,in descending order,the orifice diameter,the inner diameter of the pre-chamber channel and the opening angle of the lower end of the pre-chamber.
