OPERATION OF DIESEL ENGINE BY LOW-GRADE ALCOHOL

摘要

PURPOSE:To improve the combustion property of the low-grade alcohol by a method wherein fuel, having the principal constituent of low-grade alcohol, is supplied to the engine under adding small amount of partial oxidate obtained by oxidizing hydrocarbon oil partially with oxidizing catalyst. CONSTITUTION:The low-grade alcohol series fuel is supplied to the combustion chamber 3 of the engine 1 from a tank 6 through a pump 7 and an injection nozzle 8 while the hydrocarbon oil in a tank 9 is oxidized partially by the oxidizing catalyst in a reaction device 11 and the product thereof is supplied to a suction manifold 4. The hydrocarbon oil, having principal constituent of saturated hydrocarbon having 3-15 of number of carbon is utilized as the hydrocarbon oil.
