Abstract

Experimental studies to compare combustion characteristics of kerosene fuels and diesel fuel were performed in a single cylinder diesel engine respectively in order to find out if kerosene fuels could be used as alternative fuels in special vehicles in emergency. Three kinds of fuels such as -10# diesel, aviation kerosene and lamp kerosene were tested. When fueled with lamp kerosene, the starting crank angles of Instantaneous Heat Release Rate curves are delayed; The peak values of Instantaneous Heat Release Rate decrease on rated condition, while increase on maximum torque condition due to the fast heat release rate of premixed combustion. The engine power loss is within 6.7% when fueled with kerosene fuels, and the Brake Specific Fuel Consumption decreases by 8.7%.
