Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) is nowadays a leading trend in the development of gasoline internal combustion engines. The application of this novel combustion system will allow to comply with future legislations concerning the exhaust emissions including carbon dioxide. This paper presents a design and implementation of a research engine with a direct fuel injection and the capability of HCCI combustion via an internal gas recirculation and a negative valves overlap (NVO). The technical approach used in the engine allowed an autonomous HCCI operation at variable loads and engine speeds without the need of a spark discharge. Experiments were conducted at a wide range of valve timings providing data which allowed an assessment of a volumetric efficiency and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) rate. Permissible range of air excess coefficient, providing stable and repeatable operation has also been identified. The use of direct gasoline injection benefited in the improvement of the start of the combustion (SOC) and heat release rate control via the injection timing.

A 28-species reduced chemistry mechanism for Dimethyl Ether (DME) combustion is developed on the basis of a recent detailed mechanism by Zhao et al. (2008). The construction of reduced chemistry was carried out with automatic algorithms incorporating newly developed strategies. The performance of the reduced mechanism is assessed over a wide range of combustion conditions anticipated to occur in future advanced piston internal combustion engines, such as HCCI, SAHCCI, and PCCI. Overall, the reduced chemistry gives results in good agreement with those from the detailed mechanism for all the combustion modes tested. While the detailed mechanism by Zhao et al. (2008) shows reasonable agreement with the shock tube autoignition delay data, the detailed mechanism requires further improvement in order to better predict HCCI combustion under engine conditions.

Currently, for the serious air pollution and global warming effect caused by the substance released from the present vehicle, it is expected that the regulatory requirements for the emission will become more stringent. A new concept of the combustion technology that can reduce the NOx and PM related to combustion is urgently needed. To cope with such social demands, many developed countries are efforts to develop the environment friendly vehicle engine at the national lever in order to satisfy with strengthening emission control. As a main combustion technology among new combustion technology for the new generation engine, the homogenous charge compression engine (HCCI) is expanding its application range by employing multiple combustion mode, catalyst, direct fuel injection and partially premixed combustion. In this paper, a multi-injection method in order to apply the HCCI combustion method without mainly altering engine specifications and practicality by referring to the results of the HCCI engine was investigated. Applied with forced charging, exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and compression ratio change, it was evaluated to the possibility of securing optimum fuel economy and emission reduction in the IMEP 0.8 MPa range.

The objective of this work is to study the effect of different control parameters viz. EGR, fuel injection pressure and start of injection timing on exhaust emissions from diesel fueled HCCI combustion concept. A 4-cylinder LCV engine has been selected for experiments and FIRE 3D CFD software was used for simulation study. The basic idea of the simulation study is to find the suitable EGR ratio to run the engine on HCCI combustion mode so as to avoid any damage to the engine during testing. From simulation study, it was observed that the minimum EGR required for running the engine at 5.6 bar BMEP @ 2500 rpm in HCCI mode is approximately 45%. The trends of simulation results viz. soot and NOx emissions are closely following the experiments. The experiments were conducted at different loads at 2500 rpm and EGR varied from 0% to 60%. With increased EGR ratio, soot bump was observed at 50%, 75% and 100%. The BTE dropped to 24.5% from 33.5%. The effect of fuel injection pressures (750bar, 1000bar and 1500bar) were studied to improve the BTE and to control soot bump over a wide range injection timings EGR ratio. Detailed experiments were conducted at 2.8 bar BMEP @ 2500 rpm to study simultaneous reduction of NOx, SOOT, UHC and CO emissions from diesel HCCI combustion. At injection pressure (1500 bar), advanced fuel injection timing and high EGR ratio, the soot CO and THC emissions were reduced significantly without penalty on NOx emissions. The BTE was improved from 24.5% to 31% against 33.5% of convention diesel combustion.

The techniques of design of experiments were applied to study the best operational conditions for oxygen-enriched combustion in a single-cylinder direct-injection diesel engine in order to reduce particulate matter (PM) emissions, with minimal deterioration in nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions, by controlling fuel injection timing, carbon dioxide (CO2) and O2 volume fractions in intake air. The results showed that CO2 addition reduced average combustion temperatures and minimized the rate of increase in NOx emissions observed during oxygen-enriched conditions. It was also observed that oxygen enrichment minimized the deterioration in brake-specific fuel consumption and hydrocarbon and PM emissions that occurred at the highest level of CO2 addition.

Gas Recirculation

Ultra-low NOx and smokeless operation at higher loads up to half of the rated torque is attempted with large rates of cold exhaust gas recirculation (EGR). NOx decreases below 6 ppm (0.05 g/kW h) and soot significantly increases when first decreasing the oxygen concentration to 16 per cent with cold EGR. However, after peaking at 12–14 per cent oxygen, soot then decreases sharply to essentially zero at 9–10 per cent oxygen while maintaining ultra-low NOx, regardless of fuel injection quantity and injection pressure. However, at higher loads, with the oxygen concentration below 9–10 per cent, the air-fuel ratio has to be over-rich to exceed half of the rated torque, and thermal efficiency, CO, and THC deteriorate significantly. As the EGR rate increases, exhaust gas emissions and thermal efficiency vary with the intake oxygen content rather than with the excess air ratio. Longer ignition delays due to either advancing or retarding the injection timing reduced the smoke emissions, but advancing the injection timing has the advantages of maintaining the thermal efficiency and preventing misfiring. A reduction in the compression ratio is effective to reduce the in-cylinder temperature and increase the ignition delay as well as to expand the smokeless combustion range in terms of EGR and i.m.e.p. (indicated mean effective pressure).

This study performed experimental testing of a multi-cylinder diesel engine using different blends of biodiesel and diesel fuel. The engine used an electronically-controlled common-rail fuel injection system to achieve a high injection pressure. The operating parameters that were investigated included the injection pressure, injection timing, and exhaust gas recirculation rate. Results showed that biodiesel generally reduced soot emissions and increased NOx emissions. The increase in NOx emissions was not due to the injection timing shift when biodiesel was used because the present fuel injection system was able to give the same fuel injection timing. At high exhaust gas recirculation rates, emissions using regular diesel and 20% biodiesel blends are very similar while 100% biodiesel produces relatively different emission levels. Therefore, the increase in NOx emissions may not be a concern when 20% biodiesel blends are used with high exhaust gas recirculation rates in order to achieve low temperature combustion conditions.
