Effect of Fuel Chemical Structure and Properties on Diesel Engine Performance and Pollutant Emissions: Review of the Results of Four European Research Programs

Combustion, emissions, and calibration for diesel engine system design

“…The effects of diesel fuels on emissions are reported by Den Ouden et al (1994), Singal and Pundir (1996), Nylund et al (1997), Boesel et al (2003), Matthews et al (2005), Kono et al (2005), Hara et al (2006), Zannis et al (2008), Fanick (2008), Nanjundaswamy et al (2009), andHochhauser (2009). The sulfur impact on diesel emissions control is reviewed by Corro (2002).…”

Experimental Study of DI Diesel Engine Operational and Environmental Behavior Using Blends of City Diesel with Glycol Ethers and RME

“…Number The main measuring equipment comprised of an Alcock air flow meter (viscous type), fuel tank, and flow-meter for measuring engine fuel consumption, thermocouples for recording exhaust gas temperature, lubricant oil temperature and engine coolant temperature, a magnetic pickup for recording TDC position, a crankshaft rotational speed indicator, and a piezoelectric transducer for measuring in-cylinder pressure [35,41]. The piezoelectric transducer used for recording cylinder pressure was developed by Kistler and it was a Kistler 6001 type.…”

“…This piezoelectric transducer was also developed by Kistler and it was a Kistler 6005 type. The operational temperature range of the Kistler 6005 piezoelectric transducer was from −196 to 240 • C, its sensitivity was 7.91pCb/bar and its linearity was lower than ±0.1% at full scale indication [35,41]. An oscilloscope was used to monitor cylinder pressure or injection pressure signal.…”

“…It was also used a fast data acquisition system for recording cylinder pressure, injection pressure, and TDC position measurements and storing them in a PC [35,41]. The data acquisition system was based on an analog-to-digital (ADC) converter DAS-1801ST of Keithley, which was installed in a personal computer.…”

Diesel aerosols and gases in underground mines: guide to exposure assessment and control.

“…The effects of diesel fuel properties on regulated and nonregulated emissions have been extensively studied over many years. Several were found to have only subtle effects on emissions from heavy-duty diesel engines [Nikanjam 1993;Ulmann et al 1994;Zannis et al 2008], a lthough the most substantial effects were observed for sulfur content, cetane number, density, aromatic content, and oxygen content [EPA 2001b;DieselNet 2002;Maly et al 2007]. The extent of these effects depends on engine design and engine operating conditions [Kwon et al 2001;EPA 2001b].…”
