摘要:
The invention provides methods that expand the operating envelope of advanced combustion engines during operation in an advanced combustion mode by supplying an engine cylinder during operation in the advanced combustion mode with fuel-alcohol blends, e.g. gasoline-alcohol blends. In methods of the invention, fuel-alcohol blends combust efficiently over a wide range of engine loads, and the need for EGR, VVT, NVO, rebreathing, or multiple fuel injection is either reduced or eliminated.
摘要:
The invention provides enriched fuels and methods that expand the operating envelope of an advanced combustion engine during operation in an advanced combustion mode (e.g. HCCI mode). Enriched fuels and methods of the invention facilitate efficient combustion over a wide range of engine loads, and the need for EGR, VVT, NVO, rebreathing, or multiple fuel injection is either reduced or eliminated.
摘要:
This invention is a fuel composition comprising a major amount of base fuel and at least 3% w/w of an ester additive mixture derivable by reacting together either (a) (i) a saturated, aliphatic polyhydric alcohol having three or more primary alcohol groups, (ii) a C2-C15 saturated, aliphatic branched chain monohydric alcohol and (iii) a saturated, aliphatic C4-C10 dicarboxylic acid, or (b) a saturated aliphatic polyhydric alcohol having three or more primary alcohol groups with a C6-C15 saturated, aliphatic straight chain or branched chain monocarboxylic acid, or (c) a C2-C15 branched chain saturated aliphatic alcohol with a saturated, aliphatic dicarboxylic acid having 6-10 carbon atoms. The ester additive has a boiling point ≧150° C., a molecular weight ≧200 and an oxygen content ≧13% by weight of said ester additive mixture. The additive significantly reduces particulate emissions from the exhausts of diesel powered engines.
