The study compared the optimization of DI2 and RCCI at mid load, finding that DI2 can achieve lower NOx emissions and near-zero soot emissions while maintaining high fuel economy, but usually results in higher emissions of NOx, soot, and CO2 compared to RCCI. In the optimal DI2 cases, very advanced n-butanol injection timing, high n-butanol energy fraction, and early diesel injection timing were adopted.
For n-butanol/diesel dual-fuel combustion, there are two different implementations, i.e., dual direct injection (DI2) strategy and reactivity controlled compression ignition (RCCI) strategy. The DI2 strategy is a novel combustion concept, which is expected to address the inefficient combustion and high pressure rise rate dilemmas raised by RCCI. In this work, the full-parameter optimizations of DI2 and RCCI were first performed at mid load, and the optimal cases were comprehensively compared. The potential benefits of DI2 over RCCI and its optimal operating parameters were determined. The results indicate that DI2 can achieve low nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions below 0.00094 g/kWh and near-zero soot emissions while keeping high fuel economy near 167 g/kWh comparable to that of RCCI, but it usually yields higher NOx, soot, and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions than RCCI. In the optimal DI2 cases, very advanced n-butanol injection timing (before-120 degrees CA ATDC), high n-butanol energy fraction (around 0.94), and early diesel injection timing (near-50 degrees CA ATDC) are adopted. Meanwhile, the combination of a narrow n-butanol spray angle (30 degrees
