Performance and Emission Characteristics of Heavyduty Diesel Engine Fueled with GastoLiquids

Abstract:

According to the operating characteristics of the inusing buses,a study is made of the power,the fuel economic performance and the emissions characteristics of the numodified heavyduty bus diesel engine fueled with pure gastoliquids (GTL) or diesel 0#.The results show that compared with diesel 0#,the power and torque of GTLfueled 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.
