Abstract

In-cylinder imaging in a Cummins 5.9L, turbocharged, six-cylinder, 4-stroke direct injection diesel engine was carried out using an engine videoscope system. The imaging studies provided a comparison of the fuel injection timing, ignition timing, spray formation, and flame luminosity between different fuels. Results were presented for an ultra low sulfur diesel fuel with 15 ppm sulfur content ("BP15") and for a GTL diesel fuel produced by ConocoPhillips. Experimental results on combustion and emissions with this ConocoPhillips Fischer-Tropsch (FT) diesel fuel, in comparison with an ultra low sulfur diesel fuel. Together, these results showed the potential impact of GTL diesel fuel on injection, combustion, and emissions formation in diesel engines. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 228th ACS National Meeting (Philadelphia, PA, 8/22-26/2004).
