Mazda Motor Corporation 13


Why is Compression Ignition Significant?
Ordinary SI combustion@750rpm:
SI Combustion air fuel ratio of 14.7:1

Aiming to improve fuel economy


with spark ignition, we try to
achieve lean combustion.

Challenge:
Lean, spark ignition combustion : air fuel ratio of 29.4:1
But if we increase the amount of air or gas
the flame will not propagate

Cant we ignite gasoline by


compression, as we do with diesel?

@750rpm :
CI Combustion air fuel ratio of 36.8:1
Combustion ignition enables a super lean
burn at twice the ideal air/fuel ratio

Even lean air/fuel mixtures will ignite and burn in


many places simultaneously if highly compressed

Why is Compression Ignition Significant?
