EFFECTS OF INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE ON HOMOGENOUS CHARGE COMPRESSION IGNITION COMBUSTION AND EMISSIONS WITH GASOLINE AND N-HEPTANE

ABSTRACT
In a port fuel injection engine, Optimized kinetic process (OKP) technology is implemented to realize HCCI combustion with dual-fuel injection. The effects of intake air temperature on HCCI combustion and emissions are investigated. The results show that dual-fuel control prolongs HCCI combustion duration and improves combustion stability. Dual-fuel HCCI combustion needs lower intake air temperature than gasoline HCCI combustion, which reduces the requirements on heat management system. As intake air temperature decreases, air charge increases and maximum pressure rising rate decreases. When intake air temperature is about 55ºC, HCCI combustion becomes worse and misfire happens. In fixed dual fuel content condition, HC and CO emission decreases as intake air temperature increases. The combination of dual-fuel injection and intake air temperature control can expand operation range of HCCI combustion.
