description In order to optimize the combustion chamber of a highly intensified single-cylinder diesel engine, including improvement of the air utilization rate in the combustion chamber, optimization of the fuel/air mixture process, reduction of the soot emission in the cylinder, and obtainment of the optimal combustion performance parameters, a re-entrant combustion chamber with step-typed lip (RCSL) and a re-entrant combustion chamber with tilted lip (RCTL) were innovatively designed and the effects of the throat diameter on the combustion process was obtained through experiments. When the RCSL with a diameter of 72 mm worked, target for the Brake Mean Effective Pressure (BMEP) of 2.6 MPa could be achieved under the condition of excess air coefficient of 1.5~1.7. At the same time, this had the advantages of lower fuel consumption, lower exhaust temperature, lower smoke level, and shorter combustion duration. Under the same BMEP, the RCTL had lower fuel consumption, exhaust gas temperature and maximum combustion pressure, as well as faster heat release rate (HRR) and shorter combustion duration than the RCSL.
