Direct injection of both fuels in RCCI may offer a way to decrease HC and CO emissions without sacrificing efficiency and NOx/PM benefits

Green Car Congress

Martin Wissink from the team presented a paper on the work at the ASME 2012 Internal Combustion Engine Division Fall Technical Conference in Vancouver, BC, this week. These zones ignite earlier, thereby advancing the combustion event and increasing cylinder temperatures, causing an increase in NO x and PM and a decrease in CO.
