DIESEL FUEL COMPOSITION BASED ON DIETHYL ETHER

摘要

A compression ignition fuel composition comprising diethyl ether (DEE) and water in amounts that correspond to the reaction product of dehydration of anhydrous or hydrous ethanol (EtOH) with water content between 0 and 30 wt% and further characterized by: a) a diethyl ether content in wt% that is larger than or equal to 50 and a water content in wt% that is lower than or equal to 50 minus concentration of ethanol in wt% for mixtures containing 0 to 20 wt% ethanol; or b) a diethyl ether content in wt% that is larger than or equal to 54 minus 0.2 times the ethanol concentration in wt% and a water content in wt% that is lower than or equal to 46 minus the 0.8 times concentration of ethanol in wt% for mixtures containing 20 to 30 wt% ethanol; or c) a diethyl ether content in wt% that is larger than or equal to 61.5 minus 0.45 times the ethanol concentration in wt% and a water content in wt% that is lower than or equal to 38.5 minus the 0.55 times concentration of ethanol in wt% for mixtures containing 30 to 70 wt% ethanol.
