 To improving the engine performance and reduction of exhaust emissions
by using air pre heating.
 Pre heating & swirling of intake air plays effective role for improving
performance, reducing exhaust emission and also for quick, reliable, and
environmentally friendly starts of CI Engine.
 In present study two methodologies has been used, experimental (Electric
Air preheating) & Computational (Air Swirl). By performing various
experimental tests on the single cylinder Four Stroke CI Engine, optimum
air preheating temperature (78°C) is calculated by taking temperature range
40°C to 80°C with succession of 10°C. The best optimum temperature
calculated from experimental work is taken as a base temperature for CFD
analysis.
 In this CFD analysis the 3D model of swirl device having four different
blade height and blade twist angle, blade length & blade thickness constant
is made by using Cero Parametric 1.0 & analysis is carried out in ANSYS
CFX and from this analysis optimum blade height is selected for optimum
air preheating temperature.
 Swirling device with air preheater was fixed to intake
manifold of four stroke single cylinder diesel engine
(water cooled type).
 Experiment was done with the preheated temperature of
78°C.
 Result shows that B.T.E was increased 8.84 % at 3.35
KW brake power.
 %CO was reduced 0.28% at 3.35 KW brake power.
 % HC was reduced 15.6% at 3.35 KW brake power.
 % NOX was increased 33 % at 3.35 KW brake power.
Combination of air pre heater & swirling device
improves performance and emission of CI engine.
 Diesel engines have an excellent reputation for their low fuel
consumption, reliability, and durability characteristics. In cylinder
flow field structure in an internal combustion engine has a major
influence on the combustion, emission and performance
characteristics.

 Fluid flows into the combustion chamber of an I.C engine through

the intake manifold with high velocity. Then the kinetic energy of
the fluid resulting in swirl causes rapid mixing of fuel and air, if the
fuel is injected directly into the cylinder.

 With optimal swirl, better mixing of fuel and air is possible which
leads to effective combustion. Diesel engine efficiency depends on
multiple complex parameters like heat losses during cooling of
engine, heat losses in exhaust gases, friction loss, transmission
efficiency losses etc.
 In compression-ignition engines heterogeneous mixture
is used.
 The combustion in a CI engine is considered to be
taking place in four stages:

1] Ignition delay period

2] Period of Rapid Combustion
3] Period of Controlled Combustion
4] Period of After-Burning
