Metodo para operar un motor de encendido por compresion con un combustible que contiene eter dietilico obtenido mediante la conversion de un combustible primario que contiene etanol, comprende: (a) retirar el combustible primario que contiene etanol de un primer tanque de combustible, (b) introducir el combustible primario a un caudal maximo, constante, (c) deshidratar el combustible primario; (d)pasar el combustible que contiene eter dietilico a un segundo tanque de almacenamiento temporal; sistema.

摘要

A method of operating a compression ignition engine on diethyl ether containing fuel obtained by conversion of a primary ethanol containing fuel, wherein the primary fuel is catalytically converted to a diethyl ether containing fuel at a constant minimum and maximum flow rate through a catalytic reactor. The thus prepared ether containing fuel is passed to a buffer tank and a system for use in anyone of the preceding claims comprising a first fuel tank for holding a primary ethanol containing fuel; an ethanol dehydration reactor connected to the first fuel tank at inlet of the reactor and to a second buffer tank connected at outlet of the reactor; the second buffer tank holding a diethyl ether containing fuel being formed in the dehydration reactor is further connected to a compression ignition engine; the second buffer tank is provided with at least a sensor for detecting an upper fuel level and at least a second sensor for detecting a lower fuel level in the buffer tank.
