| Summary: | The need for alternative power sources is crucial because of the increase in global
energy demand and stringent emission regulations. The free-piston linear generator
engine is one of the main alternatives thanks to its high efficiency, wide operating range
and low emissions. However, low compression pressure which produces low power
generation is an obstacle to its development. In order to increase compression pressure,
further development of the motoring process is required. The study investigated the
effect of motoring voltage in compression pressure and compression ratio. Motoring
voltages varied from 36 V to 84 V. Higher motoring voltage increased piston speed up
to 2 m/s which reduced the air leakage and thus produced a sharper p-V profile and
higher compression pressure. An inverse relationship between the compression ratio and
compression pressure during motoring was also observed. |
