Investigation of operating range in a methanol fumigated diesel engine

Effect of intake pre-heating and injection timing on combustion and emission characteristics of a methanol fumigated diesel engine at part load

“…Keywords: 28 Dual fuel 29 Methanol fumigation 30 Combustion characteristics 31 Emissions 32 Light loads 33 3 4 a b s t r a c t 35 Diesel-methanol dual fuel (DMDF) engines at light loads suffer from low thermal efficiency and high 36 unburned percentages of fuel. Pilot fuel injection timing and intake temperature are two important 37 parameters which affect the combustion process in DMDF engines.…”

An overview of methanol as an internal combustion engine fuel

“…Fumigation methanol could effectively reduce particulate mass and number concentrations. Wang et al [93] studied the operating range and combustion characteristics in a methanol fumigated diesel engine through experimental test. It was found that the methanol/diesel operating range was different in terms of load and methanol substitution percent; it was achieved over a load range from 6% to 100%.…”

Chemical and Experimental Analysis of Fumigation Process to Reduce Emission without Affecting the Performance of an Engine

“…Zhang et al investigated application of fumigation methanol and a diesel oxidation catalyst for reducing emissions 8 . Wang et al studied the operating range and characteristics using methanol fumigated engine 9 . Kwon reported that the ethanol blends increases the ignition delay with increase in ethanol content 10 .…”
