Influence of the wall temperatures of the combustion chamber and intake ports on the charge temperature and knock characteristics in a spark-ignited engine

Seokwon Cho et al.

Summary: Reducing wall temperatures is effective in suppressing knocking behavior in spark-ignited engines, but it can also increase heat loss. Strategic cooling methods are necessary to balance these effects. This study demonstrated that cooling the wall temperature can improve thermal efficiency by advancing combustion timing and reducing compression work, particularly under part load conditions. Additionally, enhanced cooling on the cylinder head had a greater impact on knock mitigation compared to enhanced liner cooling, as seen in both experiments and simulations.
