Pre-Chamber Compendium Review π₯βοΈ
For lean combustion on reciprocating engines, the pre-chamber is a critical engine component for reliability and reduced engine emissions. Recent upgrades to legacy engines have indicated that there is more optimization achievable with the pre-chamber and that the fundamental combustion mechanisms may be significantly different than current theories. This compendium provides a review of the historical catalog of previously completed pre-chamber research, as well as discusses gaps in knowledge that warrant further investigation.

Field Demonstration of Fully Integrated NSCR System π₯π
While superficially a βsimple and provenβ technology, non-selective catalytic reduction (NSCR) control is in fact extremely complex, far more complex than the control of lean burn engines. Using a systems approach, PRCI research partners defined the most common failure modes for each of the components of the NSCR system. The resulting research offers regulators and operators guidelines on procuring and/or developing NSCR systems that will satisfy regulatory expectation.
