Abstract:

The effects of butanol/diesel blends on engine combustion and particulate emission characteristics under different operating conditions and blended ratios were investigated on a four-cylinder, common rail, turbocharged diesel engine. The results indicates that the increase in butanol blended ratio leads to prolonged ignition delay, increased premixed combustion and delayed combustion phase, the effect of which is more significant under low load conditions. Butanol/diesel fuel can dramatically reduce exhaust smoke and particulate emissions without increasing NO x emissions, however, the thermal efficiency is slightly lower than that of pure diesel. Most of the particulate emissions from butanol/diesel blended fuel are ultrafine particles, with a ratio of more than 99%. With the increase in butanol ratio, the number concentration of particles in each particle diameter range decreases, which is more distinctive under high load condition. The concentration of accumulated particles and total particles increase significantly with the introduction of Exhaust Gas Re-circulation (EGR). However, the addition of butanol enhanced the tolerance of the mixed fuel to EGR. Butanol/diesel blend fuel combined with EGR strategy can reduce NO x and particulate emissions simultaneously.

Key words: power machinery and engineering, compression ignition engine, butanol/diesel blends, particle emission characteristics
