[Abstract] There have been research efforts that focused on low temperature combustion and its applications, which is one of the newest diesel combustion modes and meets the needs of diesel engine technology development. In this paper, first based on the technical features of low temperature combustion, the study status and focus are illustrated in five aspects, including characteristics of low temperature combustion, combustion process optimization, exhaust emission characteristics, the effects of fuel properties on low temperature combustion and closed-loop control of low temperature combustion. On this basis, the paper gives a view of the outlook for the development of low temperature combustion, which is necessary to better satisfy the requirements of energy-saving and environmental protection for diesel engines.

[Key words] diesel engine; low temperature combustion; nitrogen oxides emissions; soot emissions
