Rolf Reitz of the University of Wisconsin found that reactivity controlled compression ignition (RCCI) ( earlier post ) in a light-duty engine can meet Tier 2 Bin 5 NO x levels without aftertreatment, while offering a 4% improvement in fuel consumption and 7.3% —Kokjohn and Reitz.

Researchers at the University of Wisconsin, led by Dr. Rolf Reitz, are investigating a blended dual-fuel (gasoline and diesel) concept to extend the operating range of partially premixed charge compression ignition combustion by using the varying fuel reactivity of the charge blend, which is determined in real time.

A team at the Engine Research Center (ERC), University of Wisconsin-Madison has demonstrated the viability of reactivity-controlled compression ignition (RCCI) in a two-stroke engine. Earlier post.) A paper on their work is published in Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part D: Journal of Automobile Engineering.

The K6 engine uses six strokes instead of four to reduce the pressure of exhaust gases, which allows it to harvest more energy rather than expelling it with the gas. Complete combustion of fuels results in low emissions which are not adversely affected by sulfur-containing fuels. —Timothy Shedd. —Tim Shedd.

An external air compressor feeds compressed air to the conditioning unit where it is mixed with exhaust gas. An EGR pump, required because of the necessary pressure difference across the cylinder, pulls the exhaust through a gas-to-water heat exchanger before delivering the gas to the intake stream.
