Blending OME X with diesel can help overcome some limitations of OME X while maintaining low soot formation trends. The flame light intensity scales with diesel fraction up to 30% in the blend, and spectroscopy analysis shows nearly zero soot formation for OME X fuel.
E-fuels are a very attractive way for improving the well-to-wheel emissions of CO 2 in internal combustion engines. In the particular case of compression ignition engines, the Oxymethylene dimethyl ether (OME X ), an e-fuel with nearly soot-free combustion under mixing-controlled conditions, is a good candidate for the replacement of fossil fuels. However, the Lower Heating Value of OME X is nearly half of the diesel fuel, which means that much longer injection durations are required in the real engine. In addition, the very low viscosity and lubricity of OME X can damage the injection system if used pure, but it can be an interesting fuel when blended with conventional diesel. Thus, the main objective of this paper is to evaluate the potential of OME X -diesel blends to bypass these OME X limitations whilst keeping low soot formation trends. For this purpose, a single cylinder optical diesel engine at part load was employed. The soot production for the different fuel blends was analyzed by applying three different high-speed imaging techniques: natural luminosity, flame spectroscopy and 2-color pyrometry. Natural luminosity analysis showed that the flame light intensity scales with diesel fraction up to 30% of diesel in the blend. The spectroscopy analysis has revealed that soot formation of OME X fuel is almost null. When blended with diesel at 50%, although soot formation is still lower than for pure diesel, higher soot levels are obtained in the last stages of the cycle as a consequence of the longer injections required.
