Abstract

Emission characteristics of an electronic-controlled high pressure common-rail diesel engine with low-blend Gas-to-liquids (GTL) and low-blend biodiesel fuels are studied. Pure diesel fuel, G10 fuel (10% GTL blend with diesel fuel) and B10 fuel (10% biodiesel blend with diesel fuel) are used in this research. The results show that torque of the engine with pure diesel fuel is higher than G10 fuel, and B10 fuel is the lowest. Compared to the pure diesel fuel, the brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) of the engine with G10 fuel decreases, but the B10 fuel increases slightly. Hydrocarbon (HC) emissions of the engine with G10 fuel or B10 fuel are lower than the pure diesel fuel, and the carbon monoxide (CO) emission increases slightly, and nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions have no distinct change. Compared to the G10 fuel, the CO and HC emissions of the engine with B10 fuel are lower.
