RCCI is a dual-fuel combustion technology developed by Dr. Rolf Reitz and colleagues at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Engine Research Center laboratories. The process involves introduction of a low reactivity fuel into the cylinder to create a well-mixed charge of low reactivity fuel, air and recirculated exhaust gases.

Although Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) combustion offers significant efficiency improvements compared to conventional spark ignition gasoline engines, traditional HCCI combustion can be realized only in a limited operating range. Peak valve lift of intake and exhaust valves was varied based on the strategy.

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. what we are doing.
