In this paper, the cycle-by-cycle variations of a compressed-natural-gas (CNG) direct-injection (DI) engine were investigated. The results show that the CNG DI engine has a better lean burn capability, and misfire cycles and partial burn cycles exist when the engine operates at small equivalence ratio (>0.4). Meanwhile, the indicated mean effective pressure (IMEP) has a low value, and the high value of the coefficient of variation in the IMEP is presented in comparison with those operating at a high equivalence ratio. Cycles with a high maximum cylinder pressure correspond to the cycles of fast burning, and parameter interdependence is observed between the maximum cylinder gas pressure and its corresponding crank angle, between the maximum rate of pressure rise and its corresponding crank angle, and between the maximum cylinder pressure and the indicated mean effective pressure. Better parameter interdependence exists between the maximum cylinder pressure and the flame- developing period, between the maximum cylinder pressure and the rapid-burning period, and between the accumulated heat release amount per cycle and the indicated mean effective pressure. A small variation in the flame-developing duration will lead to a large variation in the rapid-burning duration under lean mixture combustion; the slow flame propagation speed of the lean mixture combustion is considered to lead to this phenomenon.
