Abstract

Ethanolfueled engine with diesel micro-pilot injection ignition adopted the fuel supply method of ethanol port injection and diesel in-cylinder direct injection. On a singlecylinder fourstroke compression ignition engine, the combustion, performance and emission characteristics were researched. With the pilot diesel amount fixed as the minimum value to realize compressionignition, pilot diesel injection timing sweeping tests were conducted based on different ethanol injection mass under intake air pressure of 0.15 MPa. Pilot diesel injection timing had a strong effect on combustion, performance and emission. The engine could work steadily at medium and high load and its thermal efficiency was more than 33%. With the appropriate pilot diesel injection timing, unburnt hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide emission decreased and the ultralow soot emission realized. In addition, engine combustion form of premixed combustion or partialpremixed combustion led to 2-stage heat release characteristic and so combustion phase could be controlled effectively by changing pilot diesel injection timing.
