The effects of postinjection with late partially premixed charge compression ignition (PCCI) were investigated with respect to\r\ndiesel exhaust gas conditioning and potential power production. Initial tests comparing postinjection application with PCCI to\r\nthat with conventional diesel high temperature combustion (HTC) indicated the existence of similar trends in terms of carbon\r\nmonoxide (CO), total unburned hydrocarbon (THC), oxides of nitrogen (NOx), and smoke emissions. However, postinjection in\r\nPCCI cycles exhibited lower NOx and smoke but higher CO and THC emissions.With PCCI operation, the use of postinjection\r\nshowed much weaker ability for raising the exhaust gas temperature compared to HTC. Additional PCCI investigations generally\r\nshowed increasing CO and THC, relatively constantNOx, and decreasing smoke emissions, as the postinjection was shifted further\r\nfrom top dead center (TDC). Decreasing the overall air-to-fuel ratio resulted in increased hydrogen content levels but at the cost\r\nof increased smoke, THC and CO emissions. The power production capabilities of early postinjection, combined with PCCI, were\r\ninvestigated and the results showed potential for early postinjection power production.
