Development of Engine and Lubricant Interferant Substances

Abstract

A variety of chemicals were evaluated as potential combustion modifiers and/or lubricant degradants in spark and compression ignition engines. Several materials showed good to excellent potential for combustion/ignition interference. None of the materials tested produced dramatic short-term lubricant interference. High expansion ratio water based foam was investigated as a medium for dispensing engine interferent chemicals. Propane was found to be compatible with the water based foam and this system was used for a feasibility demonstration which showed engine interference and the dispensing of an interferent. (Author)
