Abstract: The future of compression ignition engines depends on their ability for keeping their competitiveness in terms of fuel consumption compared to spark-ignition engines. In this competitive framework, the Low Temperature Combustion (LTC) concept is a promising alternative to decrease NOx and soot emissions. Thus, this research focuses on implementing the LTC concept, but keeping the conventional mixing-controlled combustion process to overcome the well-known drawbacks of the highly-premixed combustion concepts, including load limitations and lack of combustion control.
