- Abstract
This study focuses on investigating the effects of several additives on diesel engine's idling emissions. Experiments using a modern (Tier-4) 4-cylinder direct injection (DI) diesel engine were investigated at two idling speeds. The fuels investigated were B0, B40 and B100. Four additives, namely methanol, ethanol, diethyl ether (DEE) and water were mixed with B40 blend. The engine tested from cold start to warm-up conditions, and the average results were analyzed. The engine's fuel consumption, exhaust gases temperature (EGT), and regulated emissions were investigated. The regulated emissions investigated were oxides of nitrogen (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), unburned hydrocarbon (HC) and smoke opacity. All additives improved NOx and smoke emissions compared to its base fuel.
