Assignee:
BP Corporation North America Inc. - Warrenville IL
International Classification:
F02D 41/00, C10L 1/04, F02D 28/00
US Classification:
123703, 585 2, 585 14
Abstract:
A diesel fuel composition is disclosed, as well as a method for reducing NOx and smoke emissions from a diesel engine at minimum fuel consumption which comprises adding to the diesel engine at least one diesel fuel or blending component for a diesel fuel which has a combination of a low T50 in the range of from 190° C. to 280° C., a high cetane number in the range of from 31 to 60, and optionally a high distillation curve slope in the range of from 58° C. to 140° C., which combination is effective to afford a combination of the lowest NOand smoke emissions at the lowest fuel consumption at independent engine control values for the diesel engine that are optimum to afford production of a combination of the lowest NOx and smoke emissions at the lowest fuel consumption, whereby the NOx and smoke emissions from the diesel engine are reduced by at least 10% and 15%, respectively.
Engine Control Techniques To Account For Fuel Effects

Filed:
Nov 1, 2010
Appl. No.:

International Classification:
F02D 41/00
US Classification:
701103
Abstract:
A technique for engine control to account for fuel effects including providing an internal combustion engine and a controller to regulate operation thereof, the engine being operable to combust a fuel to produce an exhaust gas; establishing a plurality of fuel property inputs; establishing a plurality of engine performance inputs; generating engine control information as a function of the fuel property inputs and the engine performance inputs; and accessing the engine control information with the controller to regulate at least one engine operating parameter.
