New split-cycle concept to control diesel HCCI combustion

Green Car Congress

Turbocharged HCPC engine scheme. A team from Universita degli Studi di Pisa (Italy) and Rolf Reitz at the University of Wisconsin-Madison are proposing a novel combustion concept—Homogenous Charge Progressive Combustion (HCPC)—based on a split-cycle principle to control HCCI combustion in diesel-fueled engines.

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.
