Abstract: Disclosed is a compression ignition engine including a first fuel supply supplying naphtha, a second fuel supply supplying diesel fuel, an EGR gas recirculation portion recirculating exhaust gas back to a combustion chamber, and a controller controlling these components. The controller determines whether an engine body is operated in a low load region or a high load region. In the low load region, the controller outputs a control signal to the first fuel supply so that at least naphtha is supplied, and outputs a control signal to the EGR gas recirculation portion such that an EGR rate becomes higher than that when the engine is operated in the high load region to make an air-fuel ratio fall within a range of 14.5 to 15.0.

Abstract: A compression ignition engine includes an engine body, a first fuel supply for supplying a first fuel, a second fuel supply for supplying a second fuel, and a controller for outputting a signal to each of the first and second fuel supplies. The second fuel less easily vaporizes than the first fuel, and has a pressure and temperature at which compression ignition is initiated and at least one of which is lower than that of the first fuel. The controller outputs a signal to the first fuel supply such that a weight of the supplied first fuel is larger than that of the supplied second fuel, and thereafter, outputs a signal to the second fuel supply such that the second fuel is supplied to a combustion chamber. A formed air-fuel mixture is compressed and ignited.
