The experimental verification of the multi-fuel IC engine concept with the use of jet propellant-8 (JP-8) and its blends with pure rapeseed oil

Abstract The paper presents some research results to recognize the possibility of realization idea a multi-fuel IC engine. Future construction is planned as flexible solution for military or special purpose transport means and emergency power generation. proposed engine would utilize compression ignition mode combustion high reactive fuels (JP-8, diesel oil, etc.) spark gasoline other low fuels. Practical implementation requires that highly be burned efficiently at ratio suitable both modes. For test JP-8 its blends with pure rapeseed oil were chosen easily accessible experiment was carried out on naturally aspirated supercharged AVL common rail system CR = 12. elaborated, unified injection strategy synchronized main dose timing start second stage homogeneous mixture checked in practice. applied CI enabled efficient comparable, relatively performance all tested
