Abstract Government of India doesn’t want to compromise with environment pollution, so it makes the strict emission norms for IC engine. Diesel engine is well known for fuel economy and efficient operation but only problem is engine emission .to fulfill the future emission norms HCCI Bifuel engine is one of the best option, so it can operate diesel engine with CNG. The use of CNG in HCCI engine along with pilot diesel injection, the emissions has been decreased drastically. Homogeneous mixing of fuel and air leads to cleaner combustion and lower emissions. The premixed lean mixture reduces soot particles. By optimizing operating parameter like mixture strength and load we can obtain less emission and better fuel economy. In experimental work there is use of CNG injection at high pressure and fixed amount of diesel for initiate combustion only and then varying amount of CNG for optimization of low emission and higher performance for particular load. Keywords: HCCI, CNG, Emission, Bifuel _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ I.
INTRODUCTION
According to title our effort is to convert existing diesel engine into HCCI bifuel (Diesel + CNG) engine without major modification. So there are trying for data acquisition for low emission and good performance at various mixture strengths to maximize HCCI % and based on that it can map ECU for optimized (Diesel + CNG) bifuel operation. This research can create big benchmark in Automobile industry. Because Drastically reduction in emissions in existing Diesel engine. Improvement in fuel economy. New area for combustion in automobile industry. Low cost for installation of bifuel HCCI (Diesel + CNG) engine in existing diesel engine. II. SUMMARY OF LITERATURE SURVEY The reduction of SFC is about 7% and 3% at low and part load operations [1] The improvement of engine efficiency is about 3% at part load operation of the engine. [4] NOx emission is at ultra-low level of ∼ 10 ppm in comparison to 600 – 3000 ppm for diesel engines[5] That CNG-Diesel engine has less emissions comparing to diesel only engine. Also, investigations stated that CNG-Diesel Dual Fuel engine has less amount of NOX, NO2, CO, CO2, HC, soot and other emissions when compared with the conventional diesel fueled engine.[9] 5) In comparison to the SI combustion engine, the fuel consumption was reduced by 21% as a result of the higher efficiency of the HCCI/SI engine. Likewise, due to the reduced fuel consumption, CO 2 emissions were reduced on more than 21% when using HCCI.[6] 1) 2) 3) 4)
