Performance and Emission Characteristics of Heavy-duty Diesel Engine Fueled with Gas-to-Liquids
According to the operating characteristics of the in-using buses,a study is made of the power,the fuel economic performance and the emissions characteristics of the numodified heavy-duty bus diesel engine fueled with pure gas-to-liquids (GTL) or diesel 0#.The results show that compared with diesel 0#,the power and torque of GTL-fueled engine decrease by 10% on average,fuel consumption decreases by 3%,the emission of CO,NO x,PM and CO2 reduces by 9%,14%,25% and 4% respectively,but the HC emission remains unchanged.GTL is a promising alternative fuel for diesel engine.
