Synthetic fuels such as oxymethylene dimethyl ethers (OMEX) can effectively reduce pollutant emissions and carbon footprint in internal combustion engines. OMEX has attractive properties that make it a great candidate for replacing conventional fuels in compression ignition engines. This study aims to analyze the potential of using OMEX together with an innovative piston geometry to reduce soot formation inside the cylinder.
Synthetic fuels significantly reduce pollutant emissions and the carbon footprint of ICE applications. Among these fuels, oxymethylene dimethyl ethers (OMEX) are an excellent candidate to entirely or partially replace conventional fuels in compression ignition (CI) engines due to their attractive properties. The very low soot particle formation tendency allows the decoupling of the soot-NOX trade-off in CI engines. In addition, innovative piston geometries have the potential to reduce soot formation inside the cylinder in the late combustion stage. This work aims to analyze the potential of combining OMEX with an innovative piston geometry to reduce soot formation inside the cylinder. In this way, several blends of OMEX-Diesel were tested using a radial-lips bowl geometry and a conventional reentrant bowl. Tests were conducted in an optically accessible engine under simulated EGR conditions, reducing the in-cylinder oxygen content. For this purpose, 2-colour pyrometry and high-speed excited state hydroxyl chemiluminescence techniques were applied to trace the in-cylinder soot formation and oxidation processes. The results confirm that increasing OMEX in Diesel improves the in-cylinder soot reduction under low oxygen conditions for both piston geometries. Moreover, using radial lips bowl geometry significantly improves the soot reduction, from 17% using neat Diesel to 70% less at the highest OMEX quantity studied in this paper.
