Zusammenfassung

In this work, a novel catalytic evaporator was tested in a single-cylinder Heavy-Duty Diesel engine in order to achieve low NOx and soot emissions as well as to control the combustion phase for homogeneous Low-Temperature Combustion (LTC). Conventionally, two fuels with different ignition properties are used to control the combustion phasing, however in this study only diesel is used. As a consequence of our presented approach, the ignition properties of the fuel vapour can be adjusted by changing the operating parameters of the catalytic evaporator.
