ABSTRACT
In order to reach future Diesel emission standards such
as Euro 6 or Tier 2 Bin 5, NOx emissions need to be
dramatically reduced. Advanced technologies and engine
settings such as higher EGR rates, reduced compression
ratio, EGR cooler and low-pressure EGR loop depending on vehicle application may help to reach this
target whilst maintaining low CO2 emissions and fuel
consumption. However, the resulting low combustion
temperatures and the air-fuel ratios lead to a significant
increase in HC and CO emissions, especially during the
start-up phase prior to catalyst light-off. Moreover, high
levels of EGR make transient operation even more
difficult. So HC-CO emissions and EGR transient
operation represent two key issues that could limit the
extension of this alternative combustion mode.
INTRODUCTION
In order to meet the constraints on NOx and particle
emissions imposed by the future emissions standards
Euro 6 and Tier 2 Bin 5, significant improvements are
required both in the post treatment systems and
combustion modes. The premixed combustion modes
(LTC: Low Temperature Combustion PCCI: Premixed
Charge Compression Ignition) represent a relatively
simple and economic solution to reduce these emissions
while retaining the advantages of the Diesel engine.
Use of a high EGR rate together with advanced
combustion timing reduces the combustion temperature
and the air/fuel ratio. Figure 1 represents the operating
areas of various combustion modes in a /temperature
diagram in order to show the impact on NOx and particle
emissions.
