Dalian team proposes jet controlled compression ignition to control PCCI phasing in a hybrid pneumatic engine

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the Dalian University of Technology have proposed a novel method to control premixed charge compression ignition (PCCI) phasing in internal combustion engines in all load operations. It compresses the pressurized gas produced by exhaust gas turbocharger, comprising fresh air and exhaust gas introduced from the EGR valve.
