NOx Emissions Reduction of a Natural Gas SI Engine under Lean Conditions: Comparison of the EGR and RGR Concepts

This study compares the effectiveness of Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) and Reformed Gas Recirculation (RGR) concepts in reducing NOx emissions in a natural gas SI engine under lean operating conditions. The study includes thermodynamic modeling, experimental testing, and analysis of a reformer model. The results provide insights into the potential of optimizing CHP engines for reduced emissions.

  1. N Ox Emissions Reduction of a Natural Gas SI Engine under Lean Conditions: Comparison of the EGR and RGR concepts Olivier LE CORRE Frédéric PIROTAIS E.M.N. - FRANCE I.N.P.G. - FRANCE Spring Technical Conference, May 8 – 10, 2006, Aachen, Germany

  2. INTRODUCTION CHP fuelled by NG - good thermal efficiency - smaller impact on global warning high H/C ratio limits CO2 emission Nevertheless - high emission level of UHC Sogaard et al. Main advantages of a hydrocarbon and hydrogen blend - increases thermal efficiency - reduces UHC, CO, CO2 emissions Tsolakis et Megaritis Nevertheless - NOx emissions raising Spring Technical Conference, May 8 – 10, 2006, Aachen, Germany

  18. Conclusion and Perspectives Blend of Reformed Gas Recirculation and Natural Gas : an opportunity to optimise the CHP engines Nevertheless, under very lean conditions, misfire occures and leads cycle to cycle dispersions. On one hand, hydrogen improves flame propagation BUT, on the other hand very lean conditions reduce it. Spring Technical Conference, May 8 – 10, 2006, Aachen, Germany
