Abstract

The purpose of the present work is to investigate the effect of gasoline-premixing on a combustion and emissions characteristics in a compression ignition engine. For studying combustion characteristics, a combustion pressure and rate of heat release (ROHR) were measured using a single-cylinder DI compression ignition engine with a common-rail injection system and premixed fuel injection system. In addition, exhaust emissions characteristics were studied using emission analyzers and smoke meter. The experimental results showed that the case of gasoline-premixing had longer ignition delay and lower combustion pressure compared to the cases of diesel direct injection. Furthermore, premixed gasoline-air mixture reduced NOx emissions due to low peak of ROHR.
