In this paper the author does not propose to deal with any particular form or type of engine or fuel-injection system, but to discuss some of the problems which are encountered when engaged on the development of a high-speed compression-ignition engine.The main problems to be solved consist in devising suitable means for utilising to the fullest possible extent the oxygen available within the cylinder and for avoiding the production of smoke and noise and, in so far as it is connected with combustion conditions, smell.

Homogenous Charge Compression Ignition

The paper presents the research designed to develop a HCCI (Homogenous Charge Compression Ignition) engine starting from a spark ignition engine platform. The chosen test engine was a single cylinder, four strokes provided with a carburettor. The results of experimental research data obtained on this version were used as a baseline for the next phase of the research. In order to obtain the HCCI configuration, the engine was modified, as follows: the compression ratio was increased from 9.7 to 11.5 to ensure that the air – fuel mixture auto-ignite and to improve the engine efficiency; the carburettor was replaced by a direct fuel injection system in order to control precisely the fuel mass per cycle taking into account the measured intake air-mass; the valves shape were modified to provide a safety engine operation by ensuring the provision of sufficient clearance beetween the valve and the piston; the exchange gas system was changed from fixed timing to variable valve timing to have the possibilities of modification of quantities of trapped burnt gases. The cylinder processes were simulated on virtual model. The experimental research works were focused on determining the parameters which control the combustion timing of HCCI engine to obtain the best energetic and ecologic parameters.

Abstract Partial conversion of the large inventory of compression-ignition engines to natural-gas (NG) spark-ignition lean-burn operation can reduce U.S. dependence on imported petroleum and enhance national energy security. This paper describes some of the observations made during such an engine conversion and proposes some solutions to alleviate some of the potential issues. The engine conversion in this study consisted from replacing the diesel injector with a spark plug and adding a port fuel injection system for NG delivery. The results indicated that the retrofitted engine performed reliably at lean-burn conditions, despite the different combustion characteristics compared to conventional SI engines. However, the squish region will trap an important fuel fraction (∼30%) and experience less-optimal burning conditions, hence a slower burning rate. This affected the engine efficiency and increased the unburned hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions. From a combustion point of view, the operation of such converted engines can be optimized by increasing the bowl-to-squish volume ratio, optimizing the piston shape (e.g., by removing the central protrusion and avoiding 90-degree edges inside the bowl). The original compression ratio may also need to be reduced to avoid knocking. Moreover, direct gas injection and/or intake charging will increase the volumetric efficiency, which will benefit engine efficiency and emissions.
