Diesel Engine Generators (DEGs) are used to generate power but in the process produce emissions of toxic air pollutants (taps). These ‘taps’ include Particulate Matter (PM) and Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) which are harmful to humans and the environment. This paper has investigated the effect of retrofitting a 15kVA DEG using Retrofitted Diesel Fuel (RDF) and Pure Diesel Fuel (PDF). The data obtained...
The present paper evaluates the comparative improvement of performance and emission of naturally aspirated, multi i.e. four cylinders four strokes, direct injection, Kirlosker diesel engine using various additive based diesel fuel. Five different additives namely 1-butanol, propan-2-ol, oleic acid, ethyl acetate, and 1-dodecanol were mixed in 1%, 2%, 3% on volume basis with diesel fuel. The engine...
Control technology of diesel emission are introduced in this paper by the improvement of fuel quality, internal purifying for diesel engine, exhaust after treatment technology and the development of clean alternative fuels. The application status and future directions of this technology are also described.
The effects of Methyl-Tetra-Butyl-Ether (MTBE), as an additive, on the performance, combustion and the emission characteristics of a compression ignition (CI) engine are investigated experimentally. The experimental set-up consists of a diesel engine coupled with an eddy current dynamometer, AVL Di-gas analyser, AVL smoke meter and a data acquisition system is used. The di-gas analyzer is used to...
The consumption of fossil fuels spawns environmental considerations in addition to issues of energy demand, national security and resource availability. At global level, scientists warn that the combustion of fossil fuels is significantly changing the world's climate system. Local or regional concerns include smog, acid rain, and health implications of urban air pollution. Due to stringent emission...
This paper describes the properties and application of a new composite oxygenated fuel, named as FHYJ, for an compression-ignition engine. First, the properties of FHYJ, and FHYJ-diesel fuel blend were studied. Furthermore, experimental tests were carried out to study the combustion performances and emissions of a four-cylinder direct injection diesel engine fuelled with the blends compared with those...
