Results for tag: "Homogenous Charge Compression Ignition"

Homogenous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) is a type of internal combustion engine that combines the advantages of both spark ignition and diesel engines. It uses a homogenous mixture of air and fuel, which is compressed until it reaches a temperature and pressure that causes auto-ignition. This eliminates the need for a spark plug, resulting in a more efficient and cleaner burning engine. HCCI engines are typically smaller and lighter than traditional engines, and they produce fewer emissions. HCCI engines are becoming increasingly popular in the automotive industry, as they offer improved fuel economy and reduced emissions. They are also being used in a variety of other applications, such as power generation and marine propulsion. Some of the major companies in the HCCI market include Honda, Toyota, Volkswagen, Ford, General Motors, and Volvo. Other companies such as Cummins, Bosch, and Delphi are also involved in the development and production of HCCI engines. Show Less Read more
