The ultimate aim of this project is to investigate internal combustion (IC) engine operational regions where the combustion characteristics are maintained regardless of the fuel used. This enhances the flexibility of engines to operate with a wide range of fuels.
With an increasing focus on high-efficiency engines, pre-chamber combustion is one of the lean burn technologies gaining extensive interest due to the fast burning rate and low NOx emissions.
