Experimental investigation of particle emissions from a Dieseline fuelled compression ignition engine

Abstract Achieving low-smoke and low-NOx premixed compression ignition (PCI) combustion at a wide engine operating load range has been a challenge; especially in multi-cylinder engines running at higher loads for which less data is available in the literature. More specifically, it is of interest to characterise particle emissions under these conditions and identify their possible reduction benefit in different size classes compared to conventional diesel combustion. Mixing diesel with gasoline (Dieseline) as an incentive to reduce fuel reactivity (cetane-number) and consequently improve premixing is believed to be useful for PCI. In this study, the feasibility and benefits of using low cetane-number (
