Promising Approaches for Heat Utilization in Agricultural Machinery Engines
Source abstract
Abstract
The methods of increasing the efficiency of internal combustion engines through heat utilization are examined. A proposed classification of heat utilization systems for mobile energy vehicles is presented. External utilization harnesses the heat generated by a diesel engine to fulfill the needs of consumers not directly related to the engine, such as interior heating and air conditioning systems. Internal recycling focuses on enhancing the power, environmental performance, and economic performance of an engine and its related systems. Various heat utilization schemes are compared. For the economic conditions of the European Union (EU), a turbocompounding diesel engine is acceptable if its agricultural tractor rated power is more than 275 kW and its combine harvester rated power is more than 310 kW. Steam injection into the combustion chamber is utilized to improve the technical and economic performance of gas turbine engines. This technology is also produced in Ukraine and is proposed for use in internal combustion engines. It is suggested to inject water vapor into a turbocharger turbine. This approach reduces the number of components in the heat recovery system, thereby lowering its cost. A recycling chiller can be employed to cool the air after it passes through the air cleaner, enhance the efficiency of the air cooler, and improve the performance of the thermoelectric generators. This device is particularly effective at relatively high air temperatures and can be recommended for agricultural machinery that operates in such conditions, such as combines. With the application of this new technology, it is possible to increase the power of diesel engines by 15…20% and reduce fuel consumption by up to 14%. Further research will focus on substantiating the parameters of recycling systems for different classes of vehicles. Developing a methodology to justify the effective application of heat utilization systems in agricultural mobile energy vehicles is advisable.
