Abstract

Low temperature combustion (LTC) engines need different enabling technologies depending on the fuel and strategy used to achieve combustion of the premixed fuel–air mixture. Controlling the combustion rate is one of the major challenges in LTC engines, particularly in HCCI combustion engine. To achieve higher thermal efficiency, the desired phasing of combustion timings is essential even at moderate combustion rates. Present chapter describes the combustion control variables and control strategies used for LTC engines. Various methods demonstrated to control the LTC engines can be categorized in to two main strategies: (i) altering pressure–temperature history and (ii) altering fuel reactivity of the charge. Temperature history of the charge in the cylinder can be altered by several parameters such as intake conditions (temperature and pressure), EGR, variable valve timing (VVT), variable compression ratio (VCR), water injection, supercharging and fuel injection strategies. Fuel reactivity of charge in the cylinder can be altered by various parameters such as equivalence ratio (Φ), fuel stratification, fuel additives, ozone additions and dual fuel. All these combustion control strategies are discussed for utilizing gasoline-like fuels in HCCI, PPC and RCCI combustion mode engines.
