Improving the Dynamic Properties of a Medium-Speed Diesel Engine Using Variable Turbocharging

The article presents the results of a computational study of the possibilities of improving the dynamic properties of diesel engines by using a controlled turbocharger. A promising medium-speed diesel engine 12 ChN 26.5 / 31, operating in ship conditions was researched. A mathematical model has been developed for a combined engine as a part of a complex adaptive control system with channels for regulating the speed of rotation and turbocharging. The computer model was implemented in the MATLAB / Simulink software package. Calculated transient processes of the working process parameters of a diesel engine were considered for two methods of turbocharging control: multistage turbocharging and variable geometry turbines – turbines with a variable position of the guide vanes. The effect of pneumatic correction of the fuel supply on the dynamic characteristics of the engine under consideration was studied. The obtained results were analyzed. A comparison of various options for regulating the air supply system in terms of the efficiency of improving the dynamic properties of diesel engines was performed.
