An Effective Overview to a Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition Engine

Abstract

Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engine technology is comparatively newand has not developedadequately to be commercialisedrelated with conventionalengines. It can use spark ignition or compression ignition engine configurations,exploiting on the compensations of both: high engine efficiency with low emissionslevels. HCCI engines can use aextensive range of fuels with low emissions levels. Due tothese benefits, HCCI engines are appropriate for use in a hybrid engine configuration,where they can decrease the fuel consumption even more. On the other hand, HCCI engines havesome drawbacks, such as knocking and a low to medium operating load range,which need to be resolved before the engine can be commercialised.
