In this study we analyzed the influence of PFI gas-injection timing on cylinder to cylinder gas-distribution, and the resulting …

In the search for low greenhouse gas propulsion, the dual fuel engine provides a solution to use low carbon fuel at diesel-like high efficiency. Also a lower emission of NOx and particles can be achieved by replacing a substantial part of the diesel fuel by for example natural gas. Limitations can be …
