Previously, some efforts were made to investigate the effect of combining premixed charge compression ignition (PCCI) combustion with conventional mixing controlled combustion using two injectors for single cylinder. In this experiment, the PCCI combustion was introduced by a sub injection fixed at early stage and the conventional diesel combustion was introduced by main injection starts near top dead center (TDC). The self-ignitability of sub injection fuel was modified by blending n-heptane and isooctane. Therefore, the ignition delay of PCCI combustion was extended to overlap with conventional diesel combustion near TDC by increasing the isooctane volume percentage in sub fuel. By overlapping PCCI and conventional diesel combustion, the cooling loss could be reduced. Later, the combustion and emission characteristics of the combined combustion strategy was examined. The experimental results showed that with larger PCCI combustion ratio at the fixed load, the degree of constant volume (DCV) increased. At the same time, the cooling loss was decreased slightly.
