Partially premixed combustion
Partially premixed combustion, also known as PPCI or GDCI is a modern combustion process intended to be used in internal combustion engines of automobiles and other motorized vehicles in the future. Its high specific power, high fuel efficiency and low exhaust pollution have made it a promising technology. A PPC engine injects and premixes a charge during compression stroke. Thus premixed charge is too lean to ignite during the compression stroke, the charge will ignite after the last fuel injection ends near TDC. The fuel efficiency and working principle of a PPC engine resemble those of Diesel engine, but the PPC engine can be run with a variety of fuels. Also the partially premixed charge burns clean.
