This paper described the effect of the multiple injection on the stability of idle-operating and emission characteristics in a common rail direct injection diesel engine at various operating conditions. In order to investigate the influence of multiple injections in a diesel engine, the fuel injection timing was varied two pilot injections and one main injection at various conditions. The experimental apparatus is consisted of DI diesel engine with 4 cylinders, EC dynamometer, multi-stage injection control system, and exhaust emissions analyzer. The combustion pressure was measured using a piezoelectric pressure sensor installed the hole of glow plug. Detection of the crank angle of rotating engine was used for the crankshaft position sensor of the magnetic inductive type installed. The exhaust emissions from the engine were measured by using transmitted light type soot measuring instrument and NOx, HC and CO analyzer. The operating point was analyzed for the main, pilot-main, pilot-pilot-main strategy were tested. It is revealed that the combustion pressure was smoothly near the TDC and the coefficient of variations is reduced due to the effect of pilot injection. Also, NOx emissions are dramatically decreased with pilot injection because the rate of heat release. However Soot is increased at early pilot injection at main injection.
