Phase II Advanced Fuel Additive and Sensor Development
Abstract
The scope of this project is to evaluate different fuel additives and formulations that will assist the Navy in meeting the performance and environmental requirements of the future. The project will also include development of a system to monitor the key parameters to ensure that the requirements are being met. The project will include analysis and lab testing of various commercially available marine additives, the development of monitoring capabilities, then the testing of the formulations on a marine diesel at a land based test facility. The alternative fuel tests, to be conducted under this program, would prove the following in laboratory and land based engine tests with the Navy's most used engine types (2 stroke and 4 stroke diesel engines and combustion gas turbines): Reduced engine exhaust emissions of oxides of nitrogen and particulate matter, Acceptable engine power output, Acceptable fuel consumption, Acceptable fuel physical properties, Acceptable engine and fuel system mechanical life (wear, corrosion and deposits).
