Compression ignition combustion of a premixed mixture is attracting attention of the combustion engineers as a promising system for low emission and high efficiency engines. In this paper, a historical review is presented about the development of compression ignition combustion systems of premixed mixtures at ACE & New ACE, then, a future perspective of the system is reviewed putting some emphasis on fuel injection systems. As a conclusion, a variable orifice nozzle will have better potential for proper fuel distribution in the combustion space in a wide range of the engine operation in case of this combustion system. Fuel properties have important roll in this system, and combined with some exhaust treatment system, compression ignition combustion of premixed mixtures will make a fuel efficient and clean engines for the next generation.
