Combustion in CI Engines
Combustion in CI Engines
In CI engine, irrespective of
load, an approximately constant
supply of air enters the cylinder .
With change in load, the
quantity of fuel injected will be
varied.

Factors affecting the delay period
1. Compression ratio
2. Engine speed
3. Output
5. Injection timing
6. Quality of fuel
7. Intake temperature
8. Intake pressure

Effect of Compression ratio on ignition delay
Increase in compression
temperature of air with increase in
compression ratio evaluated at the end
of compression is shown in Fig.
Maximum auto ignition temperature
of the fuel decreases due to increased
density of the compressed air.
