Abstract |
The report reviews the performance, emission, and operational characteristics of prechamber (or divided chamber), spark ignition engine concepts, including an analysis and evaluation of the applicability of these concepts to new automotive and stationary engines and retrofit installations. Relative to conventional automotive engines, prechamber engines exhibit very low carbon monoxide emissions accompanied by some reduction in the emission of nitrogen oxides. However, the hydrocarbon emission from prechamber engines is similar to that of conventional engines employing non-catalytic emission control systems, indicating a need for aftertreatment devices such as lean thermal reactors or catalytic converters. The fuel consumption of vehicles equipped with prechambers is similar to or slightly better than that of equivalent conventional vehicles at comparable levels of emission control. |
