Abstract
The report discusses the results of a combustion technology program to develop a full-scale burner suitable for an automotive Rankine-cycle engine. Emission goals for the program were the 1980 AAPS Goals. In the course of the program burners based on four different burner concepts were developed and evaluated. Each of these was optimized by experimental development, and data for the optimum configurations are reported. The burner configuration which met all contract requirements was a rich-primary burner having internal cooling of the primary zone with boiler tubes. It could be operated over the firing range from 110 to 1 lb fuel per hour and met emission goals at all firing rates. The effect of EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) on NOx emission was explored on two configurations. It was found that EGR reduced NOx emission significantly for both configurations.

Contents Notes
The Rankine-cycle engine has been selected by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as one of the most promising candidates for the automotive engine of the future because of its potential for low emission of air pollutants. However, automotive service imposes severe demands upon a Rankine-cycle combustion system, including an extremely wide turn-down range, very small size, and low pressure drop to minimize auxiliary power. In view of the difficulty anticipated in meeting such requirements, development of combustion technology was one of the first tasks to be started in te EPA Advanced Automotive Power Systems Program for development of automotive Rankine-cycle engines. This report discusses results of a combustion technology program carried out at Battelle, Columbus Laboratories under this program.
