As an HCCI combustion is effective for low NOx and high thermal efficiency, the realization of HCCI engine was expected, however there are many subjects. For example, regular gasoline compositions are different between the oil refineries and fuel production lots, and the HCCI engine performance changes. Further, the maximum pressure rise rate is high even the low load engine operation conditions and the high load HCCI engine operation is difficult. These subjects are caused by the utilization of market fuels, gasoline and diesel fuel, and HCCI research was also conducted by both the engine and chemical researchers. Much research of bio fuels, hydro-refining bio diesel fuel and bio ethanol, was conducted according to the concepts of carbon recycles. Since the ignitability of ethanol is low, the HCCI engine operation with ethanol is difficult, however the RCCI operation with di-methyl ether (DME) and ethanol depending on the engine load and speed is possible. Here, the research of HCCI combustion control by the DME and ethanol, published in 2012 SAE Paper, is introduced and a new concept of HCCI combustion, the dual phase high temperature heat release combustion, is discussed.
