Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to enhanced fuels suitable for use in internal combustion engines. Moreover, the present disclosure is also concerned with methods of producing such enhanced fuels. Furthermore, the present disclosure is also concerned with a method of using such fuel for operating an internal combustion engine.
- combustible hydrocarbon fuels in combustion systems, such as internal combustion engines, is well known.
- combustible hydrocarbon fuels includes, petrol fuel (gasoline) or diesel fuel, which are oxidized by air to generate hot gases that are used to generate mechanical power, for example for vehicles powered by spark-ignition engines or compression-ignition engines.
- gasoline petrol fuel
- diesel fuel diesel fuel
- NOx Nitrogen oxides
- Several innovations have been devised in recent years to reduce and/or filter such soot particles and Nitrogen oxides (NOx) in exhaust gases generated in operation from combustion systems.
- combustion fuels are derived, namely manufactured, from geological fossil reserves. Further, such fossil reserves are of finite capacity and are being gradually exhausted, as the present World consumption of oil and gas is in an order of 100 millions barrels of oil equivalent per annum. More recently, there is a growing interest in biofuels derived from contemporary biota, and therefore potentially more sustainable. The use of biofuel as a motor fuel has been already studied in detail since the 20th Century. Biofuels, in contradistinction to conventional fossil-reserve-derived fuels, are used as a motor fuel, or an addition to basic fossil- reserve-derived fuel, in many countries, such as Brazil, Germany, Sweden and USA [1 ].
- the fuel additive is added to a fuel such as ethanol and/or methanol to provide a mixture which can be combusted in combustion engines, for example in cylinder-based internal combustion engines.
- a fuel such as ethanol and/or methanol
- the additive is capable of improving fuel ignition in cylinder-based internal combustion engines, for example at lower temperatures when such engines are started and their respective engine blocks are cold.
- Avocet An example of a contemporary fuel additive is known as "Avocet", "Avocef is a trademark.
- Avocet has been employed in several tests using alcohols as biofuels, to substitute for fossil-reserve-derived diesel fuel in private and public transportation vehicles.
- ethanol containing Avocet at a concentration in a range of 2% to 10% by volume as an ignition enhancer was tested in a small controlled group of public transport vehicles [1 ].
- Theory predicts a significantly higher volume consumption of ethanol, in comparison to diesel fuel, but the exact higher volume has to be calculated for each case, since it depends on the specific characteristics of the vehicle (e.g. operating temperature) and the detailed composition of the fuel itself. It was found from the tests that the use of ethanol-Avocet fuel consumed 84% more per volume, which both negatively compensated for an initial economic argument as well as presented a new significant logistic challenge of transporting 84% more fuel by volume.
- composition of Avocet is proprietary, and may have varied over time
- composition of the original Avocet additive includes following components as provided in Table 1 :
- AdBlue is a 32.5% solution of high- purity urea in de-mineralized water that is clear, non-toxic and safe to handle. It is non-explosive, non-flammable, nor harmful to the environment. AdBlue is classified under a minimum risk category of transportable fluids.
- Adblue is not a fuel, nor a fuel additive, and needs to be supplied from a dedicated tank in heavy-duty vehicles, for example trucks and buses.
- the dedicated tank is replenished with AdBlue in a similar manner to refuelling diesel into heavy-duty vehicles.
- Avocet is a fuel additive and is prohibitively expensive for use in many contemporary combustion systems, which has unfortunately limited its general use. Therefore, there is a need for alternative additives which, when added to fuel, are able to enhance combustion properties of the fuel.
- a patent document WO2012021 64A1 discloses use additives in conjunction with diesel fuel.
- AN is described as being emulsified in diesel.
- emulsified fuels may be unstable in a range of temperature conditions in which the engine may need to operate, and hence such a fuel may be considered to be unreliable in particular operating conditions.
- cetane enhancement of employed AN in methanol there is no mention of its use as a cetane enhancement of employed AN in methanol.
- an additive based in PEG dinitrate is the only proven ignition improver for alcohols.
- an alcohol based fuel may possibly use PEG dinitrate as the ignition improver. Accordingly, there arises a need to appropriately use such alcohol based fuel (having PEG dinitrate as ignition improver), and any improvement in combustion engines which are operable to burn such alcohol based fuel.
- the present disclosure seeks to provide an enhanced fuel for use in internal combustion engines, for example the enhanced fuel which is based upon methanol.
- the present disclosure seeks to provide additives for fuels, which, when added to the fuels, is capable of enhancing the fuels. Further, the present disclosure also seeks to provide a method of producing such enhanced fuel. Moreover, the present disclosure also seeks to provide a method of using such enhanced fuel for operating internal combustion engine.
- a fuel for use in internal combustion engines wherein the fuel includes a mixture of at least one alcohol, water and ammonium nitrate (AN) as a cetane enhancer.
- the water is included in a quantity which renders the ammonium nitrate dissolved in the at least one alcohol.
- the AN and water solution is mixed in alcohol to allow the AN/alcohol ratio in be in a range of 0.5% to 20% by weight with respect to the alcohol.
- the at least one alcohol includes methanol.
- the AN is included in a concentration having a range of 0.5% to 10% by weight with respect to the alcohol.
- the AN is included in a concentration having a range of 1 % to 5% by weight with respect to the alcohol.
- the fuel further contains polyethylene glycol dinitrate (PEGDN).
- PEGDN polyethylene glycol dinitrate
- the PEGDN is included in a concentration in a range of 5% to 10% by weight with respect to alcohol.
- the fuel further contains at least one ignition-improver additive, at least one lubricity agent and at least one anti-corrosion agent.
- the ignition-improver additive is at least one of dimethylether (DME), diethyl ether or methyl ethyl ether.
- DME dimethylether
- the DME is included in a concentration in a range of 0.1 % to 5% by weight with respect to the alcohol. More optionally, the DME is included in a concentration in a range of 0.1 % to 3% by weight with respect to the alcohol.
- the lubricity agent is at least one of polyethylene glycol, synthetic esters, and fatty acids.
- the anti-corrosion agent contains organic amines.
- a method of producing a fuel wherein the method includes:
- the method further includes adding at least one lubricity agent and at least one anti-corrosion agent.
- the method further includes adding polyethylene glycol dinitrate (PEGDN).
- PEGDN polyethylene glycol dinitrate
- a method of using a fuel for operating an internal combustion engine wherein the combustion engine including one or more combustion chambers having reciprocating and/or rotating elements therein which are operable to generate mechanical work from the engine, and an injection arrangement for injecting fuel into the one or more combustion chambers, wherein the method includes: (a) operating the injection arrangement to inject an alcohol -based fuel into the one or more combustion chambers, and wherein there is injected in combination with the alcohol-based fuel at least one ignition-improver.
- the method further includes pre-mixing the alcohol-based fuel and the at least one ignition-improver using a pre-mixing arrangement.
- the method further includes injecting the pre-mixed alcohol-based fuel and at least one ignition-improver as aqueous solution into one or more engine cylinders by a common injector.
- the method further includes injecting the alcohol-based fuel and the at least one ignition-improver into one or more engine cylinders by separate injectors.
- the method further includes controlling an amount of the at least one ignition-improver injected into the one or more combustion chambers relative to an amount of alcohol-based fuel injected therein by using a control arrangement.
- controlling of the amount of the at least one ignition-improver is based on one or more measured parameters associated with the combustion engine.
- the alcohol-based fuel contains at least one alcohol, water, at least one lubricity agent and at least one anti-corrosion agent.
- the ignition-improver is at least one of: Dimethylether (DME), diethyl ether, methyl ethyl ether, Ammonium Nitrate (AN), PEG-nitrate, octyl nitrate, hydrazine, and hydroxylamine nitrate.
- DME Dimethylether
- AN Ammonium Nitrate
- PEG-nitrate PEG-nitrate
- octyl nitrate hydrazine

- the present disclosure relates to an enhanced fuel, a method of producing such enhanced fuel, and method of using such enhanced fuel for operating internal combustion engine.
- the present disclosure relates to fuels, for example to hydrocarbon fuels which are useable as a replacement for conventional diesel fuel and petrol fuels.
- the fuel is of advantage is that an addition of water renders Ammonium Nitrate co-soluble in at least one alcohol, for example methanol, thereby providing a solution which is stable in storage, and also useable directly as a substitute for fuels such as diesel, petrol, kerosene and other heavy fuel oils. Further, addition of water keeps the engine cool, on account of the high latent heat of evaporation of water, thereby decreasing the need for cooling systems. Furthermore, the fuel of the present disclosure is economical to manufacture and results in a clean burn reaction within combustion engines. For example, all fuel components are inexpensive and widely available, which enables large scale production for allowing easy adaptation in the market and efficient distribution.
- the fuel is capable of being employed as a substitute fuel in various types of engine systems, although ratios of its constituent components are optionally varied depending upon intended uses.

- the present disclosure is concerned with an enhanced fuel which is based upon an alcohol, for example ethanol and/or methanol, which is economical in use, and which can be used as a diesel fuel substitute, with only minor changes being necessary to an internal combustion engine which is configured to operate from conventional diesel fuel.
- an alcohol for example ethanol and/or methanol
- Ammonium Nitrate is known to be an explosive material. Moreover, Ammonium Nitrate has been hitherto perceived to be unsuitable for use as an additive, because it is not soluble in alcohols, for example methanol. However, pursuant to embodiments of the present disclosure, Ammonium nitrate (AN) has a significant potential as a cetane enhancer for alcohols, such as methanol. The cetane enhancement capability effectively allows AN to be used as an ignition improver for such alcohol fuels. Ammonium Nitrate is, for example, manufactured in large quantities, for example for use in agriculture to replenish soil after crops have been grown which have a high fixed nitrogen requirement, for example grain crops, beans and so forth.
- ammonium nitrate As additive for methanol, Ammonium nitrate (AN) has a significant potential as a cetane enhancer for alcohols such as methanol, as aforementioned.
- the cetane enhancement capability effectively allows AN to be used as an ignition improver for such alcohol fuels, which allows these fuels to be used as direct replacement for known convention combustible fuels.
- AN is employed as an ignition improver/cetane enhancement for methanol, or another alcohol.
- AN is not very soluble in methanol for example, but both methanol and AN are soluble in water. Therefore, there is disclosed a fuel including a mixture of an alcohol, for example ethanol and/or methanol, AN and water, as shown in FIG. 1 .
- Such a fuel is beneficially manufactured from a method including:
- the range in which AN needs to be added is defined by a ratio N/C (namely, Nitrogen to Carbon), wherein Nitrogen atoms come from the AN additive and Carbon atoms, mostly, comes from the fuel, for example methanol.
- N/C Nitrogen to Carbon
- the AN is included in a concentration having a range of 1 % to 5% by weight with respect to the alcohol. Further, the AN and water solution is mixed in alcohol to allow the AN/alcohol ratio in be in a range of 0.5% to 20% by weight with respect to the alcohol.
- the enhanced fuel (or mixture) of water, AN and methanol is of advantage in that it can be easily stored over a long-term period without separating out into individual components parts, and does not form an emulsion and does not need to be emulsified.
- the enhance fuel pursuant to Equation 2 (Eq. 2) only contains fully soluble compounds and, thus, is considered to be more stable and more reliable in operating conditions.
- the enhanced fuel pursuant to Equation 2 (Eq. 2) is considerably cheaper than known diesel fuel substitutes based on methanol, for example employing Avocet, and also is very clean when burnt in an internal combustion engine, for example very low soot production and low NOx production.
- Methanol can be generated from a variety of sources, for example fermenting biological waste, biota material, algea culture, processing wood by-products, fossil fuel reserves, coal, coal liquefaction, hydrates and so forth; mutatis mutandis ethanol is similarly derivable.
- Embodiments of the present disclosure are concerned with an introduction of a new additive which increases the efficiency of a given fuel, for example methanol-based fuel, by acting as a cetane enhancer.
- the new additive provides at least one of following benefits:
- the new additive allows methanol to act a direct replacement for diesel fuel;
- the new additive in solution is non-explosive, and thus less hazardous in than, for example, octyl nitrate;
- Cetane is a measure of an ignition quality of a diesel fuel. The higher the cetane measure of a given diesel fuel, the easier it is to start a standard (direct injection) diesel engine using the given diesel fuel.
- the cetane measure is defined by a percentage, by volume, of cetane, with a chemical name " hexadecane” ' , in a combustion mixture, containing cetane and 1 -methylnaphthalene, whose ignition characteristics match those of a given diesel fuel being tested. Comparisons with other additives and fuels can be made by way of "equivalent cetane measure", for example as employed when describing embodiments of the present disclosure. Benefits of the enhanced fuel in Equation 2 (Eq. 2) include:
- Equation 2 (e)
- Equation 2 (e)
- systems and methods may be disclosed for the use of an aqueous solution of ammonium nitrate (AN) as an ignition improver directly injected into the engine cylinder, which will be explained in greater detail herein later.
- the systems and methods may include tanks fitted to contain an aqueous solution of urea as the tanks to contain the AN solution prior to injection.
- the enhanced fuel as disclosed above with the help of the FIG. 1 and Equation 2 (Eq. 2), can also include other components that collectively form additive for the fuel.
- the fuel further includes an ignition-improver additive, preferably, dimethylether (DME).
- DME dimethylether
- the fuel includes DME in addition to the components of the fuel disclosed in FIG. 1 .
- ammonium nitrate acts cetane enhancer additive, which is an alternative additive as a substitute for Avocet additives that allows alcohols to be used as an improved fuel in existing compression-ignition engines.
- the fuel can further include other cetane enhancer, such as hydrazine, hydroxylamine nitrates, octyl nitrate having similar technical benefits, although their cost is greater than that of AN Dimethylether (DME) and other compounds with relatively high vapour pressures, including low-boiling point ethers, namely diethyl ether or methyl ethyl ether are suitable compounds to be employed as ignition-improver additive, particularly to enhance the cold-start of spark-ignited engines.
- DME Dimethylether
- other compounds with relatively high vapour pressures including low-boiling point ethers, namely diethyl ether or methyl ethyl ether are suitable compounds to be employed as ignition-improver additive, particularly to enhance the cold-start of spark-
- Dimethylether is produced by dehydration of methanol over a preferred catalyst, and is an additive independent of petroleum.
- DME is soluble in methanol and water, and thus preferably mixed directly into the fuel without the need of emulsification.
- the chemical formula of DME does not contain Carbon-Carbon bonds, which significantly reduces the possibility of formation of particulate impurities when compared to other commonly used additives, for example Avocet. Further advantages include the possibility of using DME in any engine tuned to be run with methanol as a fuel, wherein no extra modifications in this type of engine are needed.
- Dimethylether (DME) additive is inexpensive and readily available in large-scale. It provides several benefits to the engine operation, which includes enhancing the cold- start of spark-ignited engines.
- the DME additive can be utilised in range of 0.1 -5% by weight with respect to the alcohol.
- the DME additive is to be utilised range of 0.1 -3% by weight with respect to the alcohol.
- DME has the following favourable characteristics:
- Methanol modified in the way proposed in the present disclosure enables the full benefits of dedicated methanol SI engines to be realised. These benefits include low emissions coupled with the high fuel efficiency and high power output resulting from increased compression ratios made possible by methanol's high octane value.
- DEM and/or AN are/is employed as ignition improver for methanol and/or another alcohol.
- AN is not directly soluble in methanol, for example, but both methanol and AN are soluble in water. Therefore, there is disclosed a fuel including a mixture of an alcohol, for example ethanol and/or methanol, water, DME (as ignition-improver additive) and AN (as cetane enhancer), as shown in FIG. 2. It is to be understood that AN may be optionally added as cetane enhancer.
- Such a fuel is beneficially optionally manufactured using a method (300 shown in FIG. 3). Specifically, the method 300 of producing a fuel includes:
- step (i) of the method the range in which AN needs to be added is defined by a ratio N/C (namely, Nitrogen to Carbon), wherein Nitrogen atoms come from the AN additive and Carbon atoms, mostly, comes from the fuel, for example methanol.
- N/C Nitrogen to Carbon
- Nitrogen atoms come from the AN additive
- Carbon atoms mostly, comes from the fuel, for example methanol.
- N:C 20:1 is a typically required ratio.
- the values may vary depending on requirements of engine design and operating temperature.
- Such a mixture of water, AN and methanol is of advantage in that it can be easily stored over a long-term period without separating out into individual component parts, and does not form an emulsion and does not need to be emulsified.
- the enhanced fuel pursuant to Equation 3 is considerably cheaper than known fuel substitutes based upon methanol, for example employing Avocet, and also is very clean when burnt in an internal combustion engine, for example results in very low soot production and low NOx production. Moreover, the enhanced fuel pursuant to Equation 3 potentially avoids a need to employ Adblue in exhaust systems of vehicles.
- the fuel (or the method 300) also includes addition of at least one lubricity agent and at least one anti-corrosion agent, so providing a "universal fuel” (which is alcohol based). Therefore, fuel of the present disclosure, proposes an alcohol-based fuel which can be used in vehicles powered by compression-ignition (diesel family), spark-ignition engines, or other suitable hybrid engines.
- the method 300 further includes adding an ignition-improver additive, preferably dimethylether (DME), adding at least one lubricity agent and at least one anti-corrosion agent.
- the at least one lubricity agent is selected from additives based on mono-acids and/or fatty-acids such as HiTec and BioTec products from Afton (HiTec, BioTec and Afton are trademarks). Further, the lubricity agents are preferably selected from compositions including polyethylene glycol, synthetic esters or hydroxyesters, fatty acids.
- the at least one anti-corrosion agent is selected from corrosion inhibitor additives including additives based on zinc dithiophosphates and/or calcium nitrates.
- the anti-corrosion agent can be selected from at least one of DCI-4A, DCI-6A, DCI-1 1 , DCI-28, DCI-30 (DCI is a trade mark).
- at least one anti-corrosion agent is selected from corrosion inhibitors including organic amines, for example ethanolamine or morpholine or similar basic heterocyclic compounds.
- the fuel can also include other cetane enhancer (other than AN, hydrazine, hydroxylamine nitrates and octyl nitrate) such as, polyethylene glycol dinitrate (PEGDN). Further, in the fuel the PEGDN can be included in a concentration in a range 5% to 10% by weight with respect to alcohol.

- the new additive provides at least one of following benefits:
- the new additive allows methanol to act a direct replacement for many types of conventional fossil-reserve-derived fuel
- the new additive has a potential for application in a wide range of combustion engines.
- Equation 2 results in a significant reduction in cost in comparison to PEG-dinitrate-based additives, namely AN cost approximately 1/10th of Avocet additives.
