The effects of natural gas composition on conventional dual-fuel and reactivity-controlled compression ignition combustion in a heavy-duty diesel engine

Vinicius B. Pedrozo et al.

Summary: This experimental study investigated the effects of different NG fuel properties on engine performance and emissions, revealing that RCCI combustion is more sensitive to changes in MN and lower MN gas mixtures can reduce methane slip but increase NOx emissions. The impact of MN on net indicated efficiency was more significant at 0.6 MPa IMEP, with up to 4.9% differences between the lowest and highest MN fuels for RCCI operations. Overall, the combination of RCCI combustion and LIVC can achieve up to 80% lower methane slip and NOx emissions compared to conventional dual-fuel operation, independent of NG composition.
