The Challenges Facing Us…

• Emission (NOx & Soot)• Fuel Economy

Fuel Consumption is increased by more than 10 % in last 7 years

Urban Urban PollutionPollution

What is an HCCI Engine?

• HCCI is a form of internal combustion in which the Homogeneous Charge is compressed to the point of auto ignition.

• HCCI incorporates the best features of both spark ignition (SI) and compression ignition (CI)

• As in an SI engine, the charge is well mixed, which minimizes particulate emissions.

• As in a CI engine, the charge is compression ignited and has no throttling losses, which leads to high efficiency.

Traditional combustion (left) uses a spark to ignite the mixture. HCCI (right) uses piston compression for a more complete ignition.

• Unlike conventional engines, the combustion occurs simultaneously throughout the volume rather than in a flame front.

• This important attribute of HCCI allows combustion to occur at much lower temperatures, dramatically reducing engine-out emissions of NOx

Advantage Relative to SI gasoline engines, HCCI engines are more

efficient, approaching the efficiency of a CIDI engine.

Reason for Improved Efficiency

Elimination of throttling losses. High compression ratios Shorter combustion duration (No Flame front, so distance to travel)

Fuel-Flexibility

Page 10: HCCI.ppt

Emission HCCI engines also have lower engine-out NOx. HCCI engines have substantially lower emissions of PM.The low emissions of PM and NOx in HCCI engines are a result of the dilute

homogeneous air and fuel mixture. The charge in an HCCI engine may be made dilute by being very lean by EGR.

HCCI engines may be lower cost since use lower-pressure fuel-injection equipment.

Challenges

• Controlling Ignition Timing over a Range of Speeds and Load . varying the amount of hot EGR. using a VCR mechanism. using a VVT mechanism.

• Extending the Operating Range to High Load Dual Mode Operation

• Cold-Start Capability Using glow plugs. Start the engine in spark-ignition mode.

• Hydrocarbon and Carbon Monoxide Emission Using Oxidation Catalysts.

pHCCI (Partial Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition )

• In Partial HCCI mode the engine is cold-started as an SI or CI engine, then switched to HCCI mode for idle and low- to mid-load operation to obtain the benefits of HCCI in this regime. For high-load operation, the engine would again be switched to SI or CI operation.

The Future of HCCI

• The future of HCCI looks promising specially with partial HCCI mode.• Major companies such as GM, Mercedes-Benz, Honda, and Volkswagen

have invested in HCCI research.

Conclusion

• HCCI is a combustion concept which is developed in response to the need of lower NOx & soot emission and Efficiency.

• It can substantially overcome both the problems but still it needs a lot of development.
