Abstract

Originating from an economic incentive and possible emission advantages, the direct injection of butane-diesel blends has been investigated on a heavy duty engine. Results indicate that at moderate loads one third of the blend may consist of butane, hardly affecting efficiency and emissions. This enables a fuel cost reduction of up to 6% and a soot reduction of 50%, while still meeting hardware limitations.
