Homogeneous Charge

The homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engine is the promising technology to reduce the pollutants without affecting its performance and it is also proved by the many studies. This study investigates the performance and emission characteristics of HCCI engine fuelled with diesel –waste cooking oil (WCO) blends and also analysed the effect of air temperature and fuel properties on HCCI engine combustion. The experimental investigation was conducted with single cylinder DI diesel engine and it was slightly modified to port injection system for premixing the charge. The electric air heater was adopted in suction pipe to preheat the inlet air. The experimental investigation conducted in two phases, in the first phase the conventional DI diesel engine was tested with different fuel blends such as B25, B50, B75 and B100 and notes the readings. In the next phase, HCCI engine was operated with same blend ratios. During the experimentation on HCCI engine, the suction air temperature was varied between 40⁰C to 90⁰C. From the experimental results, it was found that the HCCI engine has emitted low NOx and smoke emissions at 80⁰C of air temperature for all the blends. Whereas the HCCI engine emitted more carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbon (HC) emissions due to lean mixture causes misfiring in the chamber. In addition, it is also noted that the value of CO and HC has been varied with diesel –WCO blends. The specific fuel consumption (SFC) is increased for diesel and biodiesel fuel in HCCI engine compared to compression ignition (CI) engine

This paper deals with the experimental investigation of a Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) Engine system. The main objective of this research work is to study the effects of a premixed fuel ratio on the performance, combustion characteristics and reduction of oxides of nitrogen and smoke intensity, using the HCCI concept. The engine used for the experiments was of a Kirloskar TAF-I series. The engine is a four stroke, single cylinder air cooled diesel engine, of a rated power of 4.4 kW loaded with an electrical dynamometer. An electronic fuel injection circuit was developed to control the ignition timing and duration of the premixed charge. Ethanol was premixed, and a part injected before ignition, whereas the diesel fuel was injected by the conventional injector directly into the cylinder. The part injected ethanol and direct injected diesel were tested in various proportions, to optimize the operating range, and the same setup was tested with various % of EGR.The obtained results include data plots illustrating the performance, combustion and emission characteristics. The results indicate that the concentration of the oxides of nitrogen species rapidly decreased, and the smoke emissions were reduced simultaneously at 20% Rp and 20% EGR in 75% load and full load conditions.
