Abstract

The diesel engine is an important technology in much of the United States. In this study an omnivorous 1.2L direct injection compression ignition engine with revolutionary concepts was introduced. The premixed compression ignition (PCI) concept, in which two fuels are blended before they reach the combustion chamber to be compressed and ignited, is nothing new. The purpose of this study is to investigate three categories, diesel compression ignition, the premixed compression ignition, and upstream injection combined with compression ignition. A heavy-duty, one-cylinder, 1.2-liter diesel engine is being converted from a compression direct injection to a premixed charge compression ignition (PCCI) and fully instrumented. Low temperature combustion of biofuels may combine the best technical features of diesel and gasoline engines to produce the desired high efficiency and lower emissions. Copyright
