EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSIS OF THE DIESEL FUELS PER FORMANCES ON THE PHENOMENON OF THE DEPOSITS FORMATIONS

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to analyze the influence of fuel characteristics on deposits formation in high-speed diesel engines. Parameters investigated were: specific gravity, sulphur content, and cetane number. The program included,in a first formulation, 72 engine tests, but a restricted research program of only 20 tests was elaborated. The execution of the remaining 52 engine tests will be performed later. Tests were performed on the Petter AV1 engine under standard running conditions. De posits formed on the piston and in the injector nozzle were analyzed. Two gasoils of different specific gravities (0.823 and 0.854 respectively) were tested. The sulphur content of these gas oils was obtained by addition of CS2, while the scheduled values of the Cetane number were ob tained by addition of ethyl-nitrate. The results are not conclusive in regard to the influence the characteristics of the gasoil have on deposit formation, but they represent a necessary start ing point for the future research program of the other 52 engine tests.
