Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs.

In the large environment with intensified global warming, reducing greenhouse gas emission is a big challenge facing today. The engine is the main power source in the transportation industry, and the emission of greenhouse gases is serious. Ammonia is widely considered as an alternative to future energy sources as a carbon-free fuel. And the mixing of ammonia gas in the natural gas engine can further reduce the emission of greenhouse gases on the basis of the natural gas engine. But the pure ammonia engine power is lower due to the slow combustion speed of the ammonia gas. In the related art, ammonia is cracked by using the temperature of tail gas, but the mixed gas generated after cracking is a gas component with a fixed proportion, and the switching between different fuels is difficult to realize. In addition, the related engine test equipment is also difficult to simulate the mixed combustion of the cracked gas and the ammonia and the performance test of the cracked gas and the ammonia with different mixed gas ratios, and is also difficult to detect the performance of the dual-fuel mixed combustion with different ratios.
Based on the above, the embodiment of the invention provides a dual-fuel engine test system, which can realize switching of operation modes of various engines, can simulate cracked mixed gas with different proportions and ammonia and natural gas with different mixing ratios, and can realize performance tests of the engines under different fuel conditions.
Referring to fig. 1, the dual-fuel engine testing system provided by the embodiment of the invention comprises: a cracked gas simulation device, an ammonia gas generation device, a natural gas generation device, a fuel mixer 104, an electronic throttle valve 106, a fuel-air mixer 107 and an engine 108. Specifically, the cracked gas simulation device is used for simulating mixed gas with different proportions generated by ammonia cracking, namely providing cracked gas with a required proportion for the test system. The ammonia gas generating device is used for providing ammonia fuel for the test system. The natural gas generating device is used for providing required natural gas for the test system. Meanwhile, the fuel mixer 104 is provided with a first fuel input end and a first fuel output end. Wherein, the ammonia gas generating device and the natural gas generating device are both connected with the first fuel input end of the fuel mixer 104. When the engine operating mode is in the natural gas and ammonia gas mixed combustion mode, the ammonia gas output by the ammonia gas generator and the natural gas output by the natural gas generator are both input into the fuel mixer 104 to be fully mixed. In addition, the electronic throttle valve 106 is provided with an electronic throttle valve inlet end and an electronic throttle valve outlet end. Wherein, the air inlet end of the electronic throttle valve is connected with the cracked gas simulation device. Meanwhile, an air inlet, namely a fresh air inlet 114, is arranged on a connecting pipeline between the air inlet end of the electronic throttle valve and the cracked gas simulation device. The fuel-air mixer 107 is provided with a second fuel input, a third fuel input and a second fuel output. The second fuel input end is connected with the output end of the electronic throttle valve, and the third fuel input end is connected with the first fuel output end. Accordingly, the engine 108 is provided with an engine intake and an engine exhaust, the engine intake being connected to the second fuel output. The exhaust end of the engine is used for discharging exhaust gas generated by combustion. When the engine works in a pure ammonia pyrolysis gas or hydrogen mode, pyrolysis gas or hydrogen in a corresponding proportion is output by controlling the pyrolysis gas simulation device, the required ammonia amount is output by controlling the ammonia generating device, and the pyrolysis gas or hydrogen, ammonia and air entering from the fresh air inlet 114 are mixed in the fuel air mixer 107 and then input into the engine 108 for combustion, so that the mixed combustion performance test of the pyrolysis gas and the ammonia under different mixed gas proportions is realized. In addition, when the engine works in a pure natural gas mode, the ammonia gas generating device and the cracked gas simulating device are closed, and the natural gas generating device is opened. At this time, the fuel used in the system is only natural gas. The natural gas output from the natural gas generator is input to the fuel-air mixer 107 after passing through the fuel mixer 104. Further, the amount of air input from the fresh air inlet 114 is controlled by the electronic throttle 106 to provide sufficient oxygen for natural gas combustion. The natural gas and air are mixed in a fuel-air mixer 107 and then fed to an engine 108 for combustion.
In the working process of the above specific embodiment, the mixed combustion of ammonia and natural gas in different proportions and the mixed combustion of cracked gas and ammonia in different proportions are realized by controlling the output quantities of the cracked gas simulation device, the ammonia gas generation device and the natural gas generation device, and the switching of different fuel modes of the engine 108 is realized by changing the output quantities of the cracked gas simulation device, the ammonia gas generation device and the natural gas generation device, so that the corresponding engine performance test is performed in different fuel modes.
