Gasoline compression ignition combustion is a new combustion mode with great development potential and is highly influenced by fuel reactivity and injection strategy. This paper coordinates the fuel octane number and single-injection timing to operate gasoline compression ignition combustion with high efficiency in a wide load range, with the speed fixed at 1500 r/min. The primary reference fuels with octane numbers 60, 70, 80, and 90 were used, labeled as PRF60, PRF70, PRF80, and PRF90, respectively. The results proved that under steady-state conditions where the speed and load changed slightly, taking the fuel economy and combustion and emission performance into account, PRF60 and PRF70 should be applied at a load lower than 2 bar and 2–8 bar, respectively, and the start of injection timing should be set at 13 °CA before top dead center. When the load is higher than 8 bar, PRF90 should be applied at the start of injection timing of 11 °CA before top dead center. It is noteworthy that PRF70 under medium-load conditions could achieve the indicated thermal efficiency of up to 47%. The injection timing of PRF90 was limited to 9–1711 °CA before top dead center due to the limit of the peak value of pressure rise rate, whereas PRF60 had a wider injection timing boundary than PRF90.

“…A novel concept, termed as Gasoline Compression Ignition (GCI), was also put forward by Kalghatgi in [10], where fuels in the gasoline auto-ignition quality range are used in CI engines to increase ignition and mixing times, mitigating emissions typically generated in conventional Diesel engines [11][12][13]. There have been many studies on seeking the ideal fuel research octane number (RON) range for GCI engine [14][15][16]. In [14], four gasoline fuels (RON = 72, 78, 84, 91) were tested in a single-cylinder light-duty engine with a compression ratio of 16, and it was found that the optimum fuel should have a RON span from 75 to 85.…”

“…Primary reference fuel (PRF), a bi-component mixture of n-heptane and iso-octane, is widely used to study the effects of fuel autoignition quality on engine combustion and emission characteristics due to its simplicity and flexibility of adjusting octane number from Diesellike to gasoline-like fuels compared to the more complex surrogate fuels (e.g. TRF) [16].The studies in [17,18] showed that the combustion and emission characteristics of actual fuel could be accurately reproduced by PRF. In [16], four PRFs (PRF60, PRF70, PRF80, PRF90) were used to enable a flexible adjustment of fuel RON for the GCI engine operation, and the obtained results further underlined the role of fuel reactivity in CI engine combustion and pollutant formation processes.…”
