Abstract
This paper reports the performance and emissions of a reciprocating piston spark ignition engine fueled with anhydrous ammonia. Emissions of nitric oxide (NO) and unburned ammonia (NH//3) are documented on a mass basis as well as by volume percent. A comparison of NO emissions between ammonia and gasoline is also reported. Acceptable high speed performance (4000 rpm) was attained using dual ignition. Emissions of NH//3 were greater than 10,000 ppm. Emissions of NO using ammonia were below 100 ppm for fuel-rich mixtures.
