Abstract: I.C. engines must fulfill environmental requirements, deliver high power and torque, at low fuel economy and cost. Diesel engines produce high levels of NO_x and particulate matter, spark ignition engines have lower efficiency. Homogeneous charge compression ignition appears as a new combustion technique that could combine in itself the advantages of both engines, significant soot and NO_x reduction and low consumption. Various names have been attributed to this particular mode of combustion such as ATAC, UNIBUS, CAI, CIHC, PCCI, etc. This paper aims to give an overview of this combustion mode, and its chemical and thermodynamic aspects.
