Abstract:According to the operating characteristics of the inusing buses,a study is made of the power,the fuel economic performance and the emissions characteristics of the numodified heavyduty bus diesel engine fueled with pure gastoliquids (GTL) or diesel 0#.The results show that compared with diesel 0#,the power and torque of GTLfueled engine decrease by 10% on average,fuel consumption decreases by 3%,the emission of CO,NOx,PM and CO2 reduces by 9%,14%,25% and 4% respectively,but the HC emission remains unchanged.GTL is a promising alternative fuel for diesel engine.
