Factors influencing cycle-by-cycle combustion characteristics of a diesel engine under cold idling conditions

An experimental investigation of post-start cold idling behaviour has been carried out on a modern single-cylinder HPCR DI light duty diesel engine with a low compression ratio of 15.5:1 at temperatures between 10 and -20°C. The trend toward lower compression ratios from more common values of around...
