Controlled Auto Ignition(CAI) combustion has great potential in achieving significant increase in engine efficiency, while simultaneously reducing exhaust emissions. The process itself involves the auto ignition and subsequent simultaneous combustion of a premixed charge. In this study, NVO(Negative Valve Overlap) system was applied to a CAI engine in order to use residual gas. The fuel was injected directly to the cylinder under the high temperature condition resulting from heating the intake port to initiate CAI combustion. This paper introduced the valve timing strategy and experimental set-up. From this study, the effect of engine speed and valve timing on CAI combustion and exhaust emissions was clarified. In addition, stratified charge method was used to extend CAI operating region.

As world attention has focused on global warming and air pollution, high efficiency diesel engines with low $CO_2$ emissions have become more attractive. Premixed diesel engines in particular have the potential to achieve the more homogeneous mixture in the cylinder which results in lower NOx and soot emission. Early studies have shown that the operation conditions such as the EGR, intake conditions, injection conditions and compression ratio are important to reduce emissions in a PCCI (Premixed Charge Compression Ignition) engine. In this study a modified cam was employed to reduce the effective compression ratio. While opening timing of the intake valve was fixed, closing timing of the intake valve was retarded $30^{\circ}$. Although Atkinson cycle with the retarded cam leads to a low in-cylinder pressure in the compression stroke, the engine work can still be increased by advanced injection timing. On that account, we investigated the effects of various injection parameters to reduce emission and fuel consumption; as a result, lower NOx emission levels and almost same levels of fuel consumption and PM compared with those of conventional diesel engine cam timing could be achieved with the LIVC system.

밀러 사이클은 흡입밸브 닫힘 시기 조정을 통해 압축비를 줄임으로써 NOx의 저감과 연료소비율 개선이 동시에 가능하다는 점(밀러 효과)에서 디젤엔진에 매우 활발하게 채택되어지고 있다. 밀러 사이클은 흡입 밸브를 BDC 이전에 닫는 Early 밀러 방식과 BDC 이후에 닫는 Late 밀러 방식으로 나눌 수 있다. 저속에서는 체적효율의 증가를 꾀할 수 있는 Late Miller가 유리한 반면, 중속, 고속에서는 IVC 이후 BDC 까지의 피스톤 하강 과정의 흡기의 팽창에 따른 내부 온도 감소 효과 높은 Early 밀러가 유리하다. 따라서 Early 밀러와 Late 밀러의 효과를 고려하여 운전 조건에 적합한 밀러 구현 방법을 채택할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 4행정 엔진을 대상으로 2단 과급 시스템의 적용하고 흡·배기 밸브 오버랩(valve overlap)의 감소를 통해 밀러 효과를 강화하는 과정과 밸브 조정 기구를 통한 밸브 조건의 변화가 밀러 효과에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 결과적으로 2단과급과 밀러사이클, 밸브 오버랩 감소와 흡입밸브 리프트 증가를 통해 연료소 비율과 최고연소온도 감소의 효과를 확인하였다.
