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. The application of HPE is also beneficial to the fuel consumption and emissions because of its several flexible operation modes.
