Characterization of a Heavy-Duty Diesel Engine Modified for Operation on Neat Methanol

摘要

Due to the increased interest in methanol as a motor vehicle fuel, the Environmental Protection Agency Office of Mobile Source Air Pollution Control (OMSAPC) has initiated a vehicle and engine testing program to characterize the emissions and performance of the most likely methanol applications. This report describes the results of testing an International Harvester DT-466B heavy duty diesel engine with modifications.
