Description
Summary:A new kind of alternative combustion concept that has attracted attention intensively in recent years is called controlled auto-ignition (CAI) combustion. CAI combustion has been proposed and partially implemented with the aim of both improving the thermal efficiency of internal combustion engines, achieving cleaner exhaust emissions and lower cyclic variation. An experimental study is conducted through a CAI two-stroke cycle engine in order to investigate the influence of internal exhaust gas recirculation (In-EGR) and external exhaust gas recirculation (Ex-EGR) variation in relation to combustion cyclic variability and exhaust emissions characteristics. Results implied that cyclic variation of both combustion-related and pressure-related parameter is substantially improved. Furthermore remarkable decreased exhaust emissions, unburned hydrocarbon (uHC), carbon monoxide (CO) and nitric dioxide (NOX), was observed.
