The effects of variations in injection strategy and swirl on a DI Diesel engine performance and emissions were tested. The cylinder head was fitted with a small diameter endoscope, coupled with a triggered CCD camera, in order to study the effect of these variations on the combustion process. The images that were taken of the combustion process were used to calculate the spatial and temporal distribution of flame temperature and soot kks factor by using the 2-color method. The engine used in the experiments is a single cylinder version of a modern, passenger car type, common rail Diesel engine with a displacement of 480 cc. The fitted endoscope caused very little interference with the combustion chamber due to its small dimensions. The 65 degree angle view of the endoscope allowed coverage of a large portion of the entire combustion chamber. The combustion images and derived temperatures and soot concentrations were used to study the influence of post injection and high swirl. Adding a third (post) injection to the pilot and main injection increases the mixing and the flame temperature during the second half of the combustion process, thereby improving soot oxidation. The fuel efficiency was not negatively affected by the later phasing of part of the heat release. Increased swirl of the intake air was also studied. An 80% increase in swirl-ratio was achieved by closing off one of the two intake ports with a butterfly valve. The improved mixing gave significant reductions in soot emissions, with a small increase in NOx formation.

The results of engine bench tests of a 2.0l common-rail high-pressure injection passenger car diesel engine fuelled by B70 biodiesel blend are compared with the corresponding results of baseline tests with standard EN 590 diesel fuel. Engine performance and carbon monoxide (CO), total hydrocarbon (THC), and nitrogen oxide (NO x) emissions were measured. Also, indicative particulate sampling was made with a simplified undiluted exhaust sampler. The aim of this study was to understand better how the engine's electronic control unit (ECU) responds to the different fuel qualities. A series of characteristic operation points for engine testing is selected to serve this purpose better. Data acquisition of the engine ECU variables was made through INCA software. Also, additional data acquisition based on external sensors was carried out by means of Labview software. The results enhance understanding of the engine ECU behaviour with the B70 biodiesel blend. Also, they are compared with what is known from the related literature for the behaviour of common-rail diesel engines with biodiesel blends.

The aim of the research described in this paper was to determine the potential of RME in reducing particulate emissions from diesel engines. The tests were carried out at Emissions Testing Laboratory, Poznan University of Technology using the AMX-210/100 engine test bed. The AVL Micro Soot Sensor and Smoke Meter were used to measure PM emissions. The emission measurements were carried out over a 13-mode ESC cycle. The tests were conducted on a direct injection (common rail), turbocharged, Euro 4 compliant passenger car diesel engine. Four different diesel fuel/RME blends were tested. These blends contained respectively: 5, 20, 50 and 100% RME.
