New Combustion Regimes
• Homogenous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI)• Reactivity Controlled Compression Ignition (RCCI)• Dual Fuel Combustion (DF)• Partially Premixed Combustion (PPC)
Low Temperature Combustion (LTC) idea is for common for allof these.

SI Engine Fuels
• Easy mixing with air• Resistance for autoignition
SI Engine Fuels
• Lower heating value LHV• Density• VIscosity• Vapor pressure• Heat of evaporation• Molar mass• Oxygen content• Reactivity resistance i.e. low
reactivity, Octane Number (ON)
Gasoline Carbon Number = 4-12

• Easy injection with high momentumand good spray formation
• Good ignitability: high reactivity
CI Engine Fuels
• Lower heating value LHV• Density• Viscosity• Vapor pressure• Heat of evaporation• Molar mass• Oxygen content• Reactivity: high reactivity,
Cetane Number (CN)
Diesel Oil Carbon Number = 15–19

Bio Fuels for CI Engines1. ”Biodiesel” = Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME). Typical
example is Rape Seed Methyl Ester (RME)
2. Renewable Diesel: Paraffinic high Cetane Number fuels likeHydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) or Gas to Liquid (GTL) diesel fuel trough Fischer-Tropsch process
3. Straight Vegetable Oil (SVO)
4. BioDME

Bio Fuels for CI Engines1. ”Biodiesel” = Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME), LVH 38 MJ/kg,
density 880 kg/m3, viscosity 4.5 mm2/s @ 40 C, high CN 2. Renewable Diesel: Paraffinic diesel fuel from synthesis or
hydrotreatment C15 ... C18, LHV 44 MJ/kg, density 780 kg/m3, viscosity 3 mm2/s @ 40 C, very high CN, Carbon number 15…18
3. Straight Vegetable Oil (SVO), High density 900 kg/m3 and very high viscosity 70 mm2/s @ 20 C (Rapeseed Oil), low ignitability CN -, acid value
4. DME close to LPG, but high reactivity = good diesel fuel

Straight Vegetable Oil (SVO)Straight Vegetable Oil (SVO) i.e. Vegetable Oil orPure Vegetable Oil (PVO) or Pure Plant Oil(PPO). • vegetable oil produced through pressing,
cold or hot extraction, solvent extraction or comparable procedures, crude or refined but chemically unmodified,
• Can be used in modified heavy-duty diesel engines only, comparable to heavy fuel oil!

Bio Fuels for SI Engines1. Ethanol2. Methanol3. Higher Alcohols4. BioGas
Knocking resistance and short heat release key to highefficiency and high power density. Dual Fuel combustionconcept is very promising is this respect.
