Abstract
HCCI (Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition),

laser-assisted HCCI and spark plug-assisted HCCI

combustion was studied experimentally in a modified

single cylinder truck-size Scania D12 engine equipped

with a quartz liner and quartz piston crown for optical

access. The aim of this study was to find out how and to

what extent the spark, generated to influence or even

trigger the onset of ignition, influences the auto-ignition

process or whether primarily normal compressioninduced

ignition remains prevailing. The beam of a Qswitched

Nd:YAG laser (5 ns pulse duration, 25 mJ

pulse energy) was focused into the centre of the cylinder

Nd:YAG laser (5 ns pulse duration, 25 mJ

pulse energy) was focused into the centre of the cylinder

to generate a plasma. For comparison, a conventional

spark plug located centrally in the cylinder head was

alternatively used to obtain sparks at a comparable

location. No clear difference in the heat releases during

combustion between the three different cases of ignition

start could be seen for the fuel of 80/20 iso-octane/nheptane used.

However, with optical diagnostic

methods, namely PLIF (Planar Laser-Induced

Fluorescence), Schlieren photography and

chemiluminescence imaging, differences in the

combustion process could be evaluated. (Less)
