c. Types of swirl
d. Swirl control
In DI type diesel engine, the liquefied fuel is injected into the cylinder directly. If the fuel is evenly
distributed in short period, the combustion efficiency could be improved. To get this, there should be
good air flow in cylinder. In general, there are two intake ports, swirl port and tangential port, in each
cylinder. The swirl port generates the horizontal flow and the tangential port generates the longitudinal
flow.
In low/mid load range, the tabgential port is closed to increase the horizontal flow. Fast flow decreases
the PM during combustion and increases the EGR ratio by better combustion efficiency.
Swirl: One cylinder has two intake air ports, one is set horizontally
and the other one is set vertically. Swirl is the horizontal air flows in
cylinder due to the horizontal intake air ports.
Tumble: Tumble is the vertical air flows in cylinder due to the vertical
intake air port
Squish: Squish is the air flows due to the piston head. Normally, this
is appears at the final process of compression. In CRDi engine, the
piston head creates the bowl type squish.
