“…The accumulation of such experiences gained from these peace time studies was sufficient for the application of the concept to be tested in the war zone during the "Desert Storm" battle [6]. Although sufficient experience was gained, it was considered by NATO that further studies and exchange of 272 Friction 1(3): 271-278 (2013) experience should take place between the member nations in order to identify areas of development and activities required in order to better understand the engine operation with F-34 (JP-8) fuel; the latter one would eventually lead to resolving of the identified operational difficulties [7][8][9].…”

To reduce their fuel related logistic burden, North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Armed Forces are advancing the use of a single fuel for both aircraft and ground equipment. To this end, F-34 (the commercial equivalent is Jet A-1) is replacing distillate diesel fuel in many applications. However, tests conducted with this kerosene type on high frequency reciprocating rig showed that this type of fuel causes unacceptable wear. This excessive wear is caused by the poor lubricity of aviation fuel. In order to make this type of fuel compatible with direct injection compression engines, seven di-carboxylic acid esters have tested to improve the lubricity of kerosene. Tribological results showed that all esters tested in this series of experiments seem to be suitable for increasing the kerosene lubricity to a satisfactory level.

“…Since Jet-A has very similar components to JP-8 and is easy to get from a local retailer, Jet-A was used in this work in place of JP-8. In past years, pollutant emissions were measured in diesel engines fueled with jet fuel and diesel, such as NO x , soot, and unburned hydrocarbon [4,5]. The results showed that lower NO x and unburned hydrocarbon emissions were obtained from jet fuel combustion, but higher engine-out soot emission was observed.…”

“…Other contaminants such as hydrocarbon (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) are also present in the exhaust gas of the diesel engine, although not at the PM and NO x levels. This is the reason of the emphasis placed in reducing emission levels and breaking the widely observed trade-off between NO x and particles, i.e., without lowering the efficiency of the engine [1,2].…”

A Study of Spill Control Characteristics of JP-8 and Conventional Diesel Fuel with a Common Rail Direct Injection System

Diversification of energy sources is a key task for decreasing environmental impacts and global emission of gases. JP-8, a fuel derived from natural gas, coal, biomass, and waste plastics, is a bright prospect. JP-8 is considered a multi-source multi-purpose fuel, with several applications. A preliminary characterization of the JP-8 injection rate and injection quantity behavior was investigated based on the high-pressure common rail injection system used in a heavy-duty engine. According to the spill injection and injection pressure, a trade-off trend between injection rate and injection quantity was observed. As expected, pilot injection of JP-8 aviation fuel and diesel fuel affects the spray quantity and injection evolution of the subsequent operation without pilot injection. The difference in spilling between diesel and JP-8 aviation fuel is greater than the difference in injection amount per time; in the process of controlling the injector solenoid through ECU (Electric Control Units), the oil pressure valve and the needle valve operate to a higher extent in order to maintain the diesel fuel's injection quantity volume. It was found that the total injection quantity was decreased by adding 20% pilot injection duration. Because the pilot injection quantity causes solenoid response, loss and needle lift stroke friction loss.
