Current status and prospect of homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) technology application of transportation

Abstract

HCCI engine is a new concept in recent decades. HCCI is defined as a type of engine with little application and market proportion. HCCI engines have great potential and prospects in practical engineering applications. However, there is a lack of cognition of HCCI engine development. Therefore, this paper introduces the current status of HCCI technology application and the possible development in the future. Throughout collecting information of some parameters of engines and comparison and analysis, this paper researches the current status and prospect of HCCI engine application. Research shows that, HCCI engine has considerable merits, which are more eco-friendly, higher thermal efficiency and fuel economy, also HCCI engine is not be used in production. In the future, HCCI engine will expand the advantages and occupy market, eventually be the mainstream type of internal combustion engine. In addition, the analysis and research results of this paper will provide reference and reference for the future development of HCCI engine.
