Combustion of an ethanol diesel engine with an M-combustion system. Ignition by a glow plug.

This paper gives the experimental results obtained with a two-stroke cycle single-cylinder research engine using an electrically heated combustion chamber to simulate the combustion chamber of a low-heat-rejection(LHR) DI diesel engine with an M-combustion system. In this report, the experiment was performed to apply the ethanol to a LHR DI diesel engine with an M-combustion system by hot surface ignition using a glow plug. It was found that the ignition and combustion of the ethanol is greatly affected by tbe combustion chamber surface temperature and the ethanol mixture is self-ignited by increasing the combustion chamber surface temperature to a very high level.
