The paper analyses the soot Particle Size Distribution Function (PSDF) measurements carried out at the exhaust of a modern automotive diesel engine equipped with a low-pressure Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system and operating with conventional and Premixed Charge Compression Ignition (PCCI). The results have indicated significant benefits in terms of exhaust raw particle number emission with the adoption of low-pressure EGR system and PCCI calibration and, thanks to the peculiarity of the operating mode of Low Pressure EGR (LPEGR) system, have highlighted the complex link between in-cylinder charge composition and the PSDF characteristics.

Abstract
The paper analyses the soot Particle Size Distribution Function (PSDF) measurements carried out at the exhaust of a modern automotive diesel engine equipped with a low-pressure Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system and operating with conventional and Premixed Charge Compression Ignition (PCCI). The results have indicated significant benefits in terms of exhaust raw particle number emission with the adoption of low-pressure EGR system and PCCI calibration and, thanks to the peculiarity of the operating mode of Low Pressure EGR (LPEGR) system, have highlighted the complex link between in-cylinder charge composition and the PSDF characteristics.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
