Advanced Direct Injection Combustion Engine Technologies and Development, Vol. 2

Volume 2 of the two-volume set Advanced direct injection combustion engine technologies and development investigates diesel DI combustion engines, which despite their commercial success are facing ever more stringent emission legislation worldwide. Direct injection diesel engines are generally more efficient and cleaner than indirect injection engines and as fuel prices continue to rise DI engines are expected to gain in popularity for automotive applications. Two exclusive sections examine light-duty and heavy-duty diesel engines. Fuel injection systems and after treatment systems for DI diesel engines are discussed. The final section addresses exhaust emission control strategies, including combustion diagnostics and modelling, drawing on reputable diesel combustion system research and development.

• Investigates how HSDI and DI engines can meet ever more stringent emission legislation
• Examines technologies for both light-duty and heavy-duty diesel engines
• Discusses exhaust emission control strategies, combustion diagnostics and modelling
