An experimentally investigation is carried out to analysis the performance and emission characteristics of Homogeneous charge compression ignition engine (HCCI). Over the past decades many researcher have been discussed about working of HCCI engine. The HCCI engine is a suitable replacement for compression ignition engine (CI). This paper experimentally investigate the performance and emission characteristics of a HCCI engine at different load with constant speed and compare with convention CI engine. In this research, the HCCI mode engine uses the port fuel injection (PFI) for preparing the homogeneous air-fuel mixture. The results show that the specific fuel consumption is decreased for diesel fuelled HCCI mode engine compared to DI-CI engine. The brake thermal efficiency of HCCI mode engine is even as same or slightly increased. From the result observed that the value of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) emissions are very low than the DI diesel engine. The rate of reduction of NOx and PM are about 20% and 5% respectively. But the exhaust emission of un burnt hydrocarbon (UHC) and carbon monoxide (CO) are higher than DI mode diesel engine.
