Abstract:

Partially diffused compression ignition mode was combined with low octane number gasoline to
meet the more strict emission and fuel economy standards in future, as well as to lower costs. Experimental
comparison was carried out based on a two-cylinder diesel engine fueled with low octane number gasoline and
conventional diesel fuel, respectively. Normal 0# diesel and gasoline with research octane number (RON) of 46
and 56 were tested. Smoke numbers were measured by FBY-2 Bosch smoke meter, and the gaseous emissions
were measured using AVL SESAM 4.0 multi-gas analyzer. Performance of fuel economy, soot emission and
gaseous pollutants were compared and analyzed to show that the fuel consumption is even lower than that
of diesel when burning low octane number gasoline due to a rapid combustion of the gasoline with the smoke
markedly reduced, especially under high load and high speed conditions; however, the total hydrocarbon (THC)
emission is higher than that of burning conventional diesel fuel.

Key words: combustion, gaseous emissions, partially diffused compression ignition, low octane number gasoline
