Gasoline-diesel dual fuel intelligent charge compression ignition (ICCI) combustion: Conceptual model and comparison with other advanced combustion modes

ZiLong Li et al.

Summary: The ICCI combustion mode, characterized by dual high-pressure common-rail direct injection systems, enables high efficiency and clean combustion in wide engine operating ranges by flexibly adjusting in-cylinder air-fuel mixtures and obtaining suitable combustion phase and heat release rate. The mode achieves around 50% indicated thermal efficiency and low NO(x) emissions, making it a promising option for energy conservation and environmental improvement in automotive industry.

Effect of pilot fuel properties on lean dual-fuel combustion and emission characteristics in a heavy-duty engine

Zeeshan Ahmad et al.

Summary: In a DF combustion process, the ignition of the pilot fuel, burning of the main fuel near the pilot fuel, and combustion of the remaining main fuel form three overlapping stages. Fuels with high cetane number and aromatic content can achieve high DF combustion efficiency, low methane slip, THC and CO emissions, but lead to increased NOx emissions.

A methodology for stratified-charge preparation via low-reactivity fuel multi-injection strategy in intelligent charge compression ignition (ICCI) mode

Zilong Li et al.

Summary: The new methodology of stratified-charge preparation through multi-injection strategy of low-reactivity fuel based on ICCI theory optimizes the role of low-reactivity fuel in dual-fuel combustion, enabling combustion efficiency up to 52% and reducing NOx emissions below 0.4 g/kWh. Among different gasoline split injection ratios, the 3:1 ratio is most affected by variation of the gasoline second injection timing. Early injection timing and higher proportions of the first gasoline injection promote higher efficiency and lower emissions by ensuring a more homogeneous environment for low-reactive fuel in the cylinder.

Gasoline Compression Ignition on a Light-Duty Multi-Cylinder Engine Using a Wide Range of Fuel Reactivities and Heavy Fuel Stratification

Adam B. Dempsey et al.

Summary: The study focuses on using gasoline in modern compression ignition engines to reduce emissions and improve efficiency. It discusses the challenges and benefits of different gasoline compression ignition (GCI) injection strategies, such as partial fuel stratification (PFS) and heavy fuel stratification (HFS), in achieving low-temperature combustion (LTC) while controlling combustion timing. The research shows that gasoline fuels can achieve LTC operation with ultra-low NOx and soot emissions, compared to conventional diesel combustion (CDC) which cannot achieve both simultaneously.
