The main targets concerning development activities for diesel engines are defined by future exhaust gas legislations (EURO IV, V). Due to the conflict between particulate and NOx emissions, both components of the exhaust gas are limited: The combination of direct injection of diesel into the combustion bowl and limited adoption of air swirl causes locally fuel-rich regions which lead to soot and burn at high peak temperatures in stoichometric regions. Simultaneously, the transient drive-off torque and the maximum power output are limited due to the time which is necessary for the mixture formation process. By means of intensified flow energy and a demand-oriented regulation of the air mass flow using an impulse charging device for diesel engines, locally fuel rich regions inside the combustion bowl can be minimized which finally influences the NOx-Soot Trade-Off by inside-engine measures and improves low-end torque and power characteristics.
