GEP 6.5LT Engine Cetane Window Evaluation for ATJ/JP-8 Fuel Blends

Abstract

The European Stationary Cycle 13 Mode test and a power curve was performed on a 6.5L turbocharged V-8 diesel engine for three ATJ/JP-8 fuel blends. Full engine instrumentation was employed including in-cylinder pressure measurements. Engine operating parameters and exhaust gas emissions were recorded. For the engine, clear trends for cetane-related performance were observed in the exhaust gas emissions, and potential cetane-related problems were identified at various conditions. Other fuel properties such as density, and bulk modulus also impacted engine performance.
