Abstract

Fuel efficiency and stable engine performance are important issues in small diesel engines used for marine-related applications, such as auxiliary power units, generator sets, and small vessel systems. This study investigates the effect of injector pressure variation on the performance and fuel efficiency of a four-stroke single-cylinder diesel engine equipped with a Lateral Swirl Combustion System (LSCS) piston. The injector pressure was varied at 170, 180, and 190 bar, while the engine was tested at different speeds of 1000, 1200, 1300, and 1400 rpm under electrical loads of 2000, 3000, and 4000 W. The evaluated performance parameters included output power, torque, brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC), brake mean effective pressure (BMEP), and performance map characteristics. The results show that injector pressure significantly influenced the combustion performance and fuel utilization of the LSCS piston diesel engine. Among the tested conditions, the 190 bar injector pressure produced the best overall performance, with a maximum power of 2.72 kW, torque of 18.65 N·m, BSFC of 371.06 g/kWh, and BMEP of 1.95 bar. Compared with the 180bar setting, the 190bar injector pressure increased power by 1.87%, increased torque by 1.96%, reduced BSFC by 7.32%, and increased BMEP by 2.09%. The performance map also indicated that the 190bar setting provided the most favorable operating region, characterized by relatively low BSFC and higher BMEP. These findings suggest that injector pressure optimization combined with LSCS piston geometry can improve combustion effectiveness and fuel efficiency in small diesel engines for marine-related applications.
