METHOD FOR OPTIMISING THE OPERATION OF A THERMAL ENGINE BY DETERMINING THE PROPORTION OF OXYGENATED COMPOUNDS IN THE FUEL

摘要

The invention relates to a method for optimizing the operation of a thermal engine having combustion parameters controlled by an electronic housing and at least one engine mapping, characterized in that the method comprises: a step of carrying out a near-infrared spectroscopic analysis of a bio-fuel containing a mixture of alcohols and/or ethers and/or water in order to determine the proportions of water and of at least one other oxygenated compound of the alcohol and/or ether type contained in the bio-fuel; and a step of selecting and/or modifying said mapping on the basis of the analysis result in order to optimize the operation of the thermal engine.
