efficiency with low emissions of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and soot. Despite these benefits,
emissions of unburned hydrocarbons (UHC) and carbon monoxide (CO) are the main
shortcomings of the concept. These are caused, among other things, by overlean zones
near the injector tip and injector dribble. Previous diesel low temperature combustion (LTC)
research has demonstrated post injections to be an effective strategy to mitigate these …
