Hot surface combustion-supporting system of engine

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of combustion-supporting of compression ignition engines, and provides a hot surface combustion-supporting system of an engine, for solving the problem in the prior art that direct use of methanol by an engine is affected due to the fact that methanol cannot be directly compression-ignited. In an embodiment, the system includes: a hot surface igniter, which is used for igniting fuel of an engine; and a controller, which is used for performing temperature control of the hot surface igniter, can also communicate with an ECU of the engine, and is used for receiving a control signal of the ECU and a pre-set temperature value, and controlling on or off of the hot surface igniter according to the received control signal and the pre-set temperature value. The use of fuel having high latent heat of vaporization or high ignition temperature such as liquefied natural gas (LNG) in a compression ignition engine faces the same problem, which is covered by the present disclosure, and to which the present disclosure is applicable.
