Abstract:The effects of fuel ignitability on the stable operating range of premixed low temperature diesel combustion (LTC) were investigated. With the intake oxygen concentration set at 14% and the injection timing at 30 °CA BTDC, the operating load range is almost unchanged for fuels with cetane number above 40; while with cetane number below 40 both the high and low load limits increase significantly with decreasing cetane numbers, the low load limit increases more steeply, resulting in a narrowing of the load range… Show more
