Alternate fuels in medium-speed diesel engines: off-specification diesel fuels, simulated coal-derived fuel and methanol. Research report No. 1

Quentin A. Baker, J.O. Storement

Abstract

This report encompasses the first year of research activity of a multi-year research, development, and demonstration effort to investigate the use of alternate fuels in medium-speed diesel engines. Tests were performed on a laboratory two-cylinder medium-speed diesel engine in an attempt to define its ability to operate on alternate fuels and to define the performance and emission characteristics of the engine under such operation.
