Abstract

Emulsified water-in-Diesel fuel is a solution that helps to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides and particulate matters in compression-ignition engines. The biggest advantage of this fuel is a possibility to introduce it to older generation units without any modifications. The presented solution allows the mixture to be burned more complete which results in less soot formation. However, the practical application of this fuel is limited mainly because its limited stability. In this article we review the following issues connected with water-in diesel fuel: its production, stability, influence on engine performance and environmental benefits. The main aspect of this paper is to review the advantages related to better combustion of such emulsion and reduction in emission of health hazardous substances.

Key words

water-in-Diesel emulsion, alternative fuel, emulsion stability, microexplosion
