It is about 3 and the theoretical thermal efficiency is only 48%, and when the power of the gas engine is electric energy, the thermal efficiency is 34 to 35%, and in some cases, it is less than 30%. . Therefore, at present, it is desired to improve the thermal efficiency when the electric energy is taken out from the gas engine. Gas engine
It uses natural gas, that is, natural gas as a fuel,
The fuel is gas. Therefore, inhale the gas in the inhalation stroke,
When it is then compressed, it becomes highly compressed and the temperature rises, causing the phenomenon of self-ignition, that is, knocking. However, the gas fuel of natural gas will self-ignite unless the compression ratio is 12 or less. Also, regarding the thermal efficiency of the engine,
When the compression ratio is small, there is a phenomenon that the thermal efficiency becomes small. Thus, the gas engine, avoiding self-ignition of the gaseous fuel, the compression ratio with is one of the challenges to how high, there is a problem of suppressing occurrence of NO X.

Alternatively, in this sub-chamber type gas engine, the sub-chamber formed in the cylinder head and the main chamber formed in the cylinder are communicated with each other through a communication hole, and the communication hole valve disposed in the communication hole is used in the middle of the intake stroke. The communication hole is closed and the communication hole is slightly opened in the middle of the compression stroke to be fully opened near the top dead center of the compression stroke.

In this sub-chamber gas engine, the lift timing of the communication hole valve 5, the water injection timing from the water injection nozzle 6 to the sub chamber 2, and the gas fuel supply timing are set as described above. Therefore, when water is jetted from the water jet nozzle 6 toward the upper wall surface 11 of the sub chamber 2 and the air-fuel mixture, the jet water receives heat from the wall surface and the like and immediately vaporizes to become water vapor and expand. When water becomes steam in the upper part of the sub-chamber 2 and expands, gases such as flame and unburned mixture that are ignited and burned in the lower part of the sub-chamber 2 are pushed out at once through the communication holes 12 by the steam, and the mixture The injection speed of the air into the main chamber 1 becomes faster, and the unburnt air-fuel mixture in the sub chamber 2 is not ejected and remains in the sub chamber 2, so that the combustion in the main chamber 1 becomes faster and the performance is improved. To do. Moreover, since water is injected into the sub chamber 2, the temperature of the combustion gas is lowered, and the generation of NO X can be suppressed.

The sub-chamber type gas engine is constructed as described above and operates as follows. This sub-chamber gas engine is operated by sequentially repeating four strokes of a suction stroke, a compression stroke, an expansion stroke and an exhaust stroke. In this sub-chamber gas engine, the intake valve 8 opens in the intake stroke and the exhaust valve 9 opens in the exhaust stroke as usual. First, when the intake valve 8 is opened in the intake stroke, intake air is introduced from the intake port 15 into the main chamber 1. The communication hole valve 5 closes the communication hole 12 in the middle of the intake stroke. With the main chamber 1 and the sub-chamber 2 disconnected, the gas fuel valve 23 is opened at the end of the intake stroke to supply natural gas gas fuel to the sub-chamber 2, and the gas to the sub-chamber 2 in the middle of the compression stroke. Complete the fuel supply. Next, in the compression stroke, the injection of the gas fuel into the sub-chamber 2 is completed, and the communication hole valve 5 opens the communication hole 12 near the top dead center of the compression stroke. From main chamber 1 to sub chamber 2,
The intake air promotes mixing with the gas fuel and is ignited and burned.
At this time, water is jetted from the water jet nozzle 6 to the upper portion of the sub chamber 2. The injected water receives heat from the wall surface of the sub chamber and the high temperature air, and immediately vaporizes into water vapor. When water becomes water vapor, it expands and blows out gas such as flame and unburned air-fuel mixture in the sub-chamber 2 from the sub-chamber 2 through the communication hole 12 to the main chamber 1 and shifts to the expansion stroke. To do.

Gases such as flame and unburned air-fuel mixture in the sub-chamber 2 are ejected to the main chamber 1 to promote mixing with the fresh air existing in the main chamber 1 to complete the secondary combustion in a short period of time. In this expansion stroke, the communication hole 12 is maintained in an open state and a flame is ejected from the sub-chamber 2 to the main chamber 1 to perform work, and the communication hole 12 near the middle of the intake stroke.
Is closed by the communication hole valve 5. Therefore, gases such as flames and unburned air-fuel mixture in the sub chamber 2 are pushed out by the water vapor,
The unburned air-fuel mixture does not remain inside, the combustion speed in the main chamber 1 is increased, the combustion period is shortened to improve the thermal efficiency, and moreover, water is injected into the sub-chamber 2 to remove the heat of vaporization. Therefore, the combustion gas temperature is lowered, and the generation of NO X is suppressed.
