METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SELF-IGNITION OF AN AIR-FUEL MIXTURE, IN PARTICULAR FOR A DIESEL-TYPE INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE, AND ENGINE USING SUCH A METHOD

摘要

The invention concerns a method for controlling self-ignition of an air-fuel mixture, in particular for a Diesel-type internal combustion engine which consists in: providing, in at least one combustion chamber (14) of the engine, an air-fuel mixture with a fuel and at least one fluid to obtain a homogeneous combustion via self-ignition. The invention is characterized in that the method consists in: a) defining the desired scheme for the combustion by self-ignition of the air-fuel mixture; b) adapting the hexadecane index of the fuel used for the mixture to that of the fuel, thereby obtaining the desired combustion scheme.
