Abstract

The present study examined the impact of blending polyoxymethylene dimethyl ethers (PODE) and gasoline with diesel on combustion and emission characteristics in an engine compliant with China VI emission standards. The effects on cylinder pressure, combustion duration, and emissions (CO, THC, PN, and NOx) by blending 20 % PODE into diesel and adjusting the gasoline content (0 %, 5 %, and 10 %) were analyzed. The results showed that the cylinder pressures and the combustion duration were reduced with the addition of PODE, compared to the cases of the pure diesel. Moreover, it was found that PODE contributed to reducing the emissions of CO, THC, and PN, and but increasing NOx emissions. Compared to the cases of PODE and diesel blended fuel, the effect of the addition of gasoline on the cylinder pressures and combustion duration presented a minor increasing tendency, and the lower proportion of gasoline blending was found to effectively curb NOx formation. Specifically, blending 5 % gasoline with a 20 % PODE and diesel mixtures resulted in a 4.01 % reduction in NOx emissions. Based on the results of the present study, it can be concluded that 5 % gasoline and 20 % PODE blend in diesel can enhance combustion efficiency and heat release rate and also can achieve a balanced reduction in NOx emissions. The present study provides valuable insights for the development of energy-saving and emission reduction technologies for diesel engines, highlighting the potential of optimized fuel blends to improve combustion and emissions control.
