JUNE 15, 2010

It is generally agreed that very high injection pressures are needed to improve engine thermal efficiency fuel economy, lower heat rejection, and to minimize exhaust aftertreatment complexity and costs. Millions of this type of injector have been used since the mid 1990s by Navistar, Ford, Caterpillar, and Isuzu.).

Study Finds Fumigation Ethanol Operation with Diesel Reduces PM and NOx, While Oxidation Catalyst Reduces Resulting Increased CO and HC

Green Car Congress

OCTOBER 16, 2010

Ethanol fumigation is a form of dual-fuel engine operation in which the ethanol is premixed with the intake air by injection or vaporization of the alcohol, while the diesel fuel is injected directly into the cylinder as in a traditional diesel engine. The engine was not equipped with EGR. The engine was not equipped with EGR.
