The objective of this relationship is to allow the measurement of methane gas emissions from a compression ignition dual-fuel engine operating with natural gas as the primary fuel. Discovery Fuel Technologies' fuel system product will be used to supply the oxygenate pilot fuel. For this development to be successful, Discovery requires engine testing to identify methods to reduce methane emissions under optimal fueling conditions of the diesel engine. Queen's University and Discovery have set up a diesel engine and the required peripheral sensors on an existing dynamometer located in the Engine Laboratory at Queen's University. This engine was used as part of an initial Engage project to measure engine performance with diesel fuel at various engine speeds and loads. Some limited testing was also done with dimethyl-ether in order to verify that the fuel system is capable of handling the more volatile fuel. In this follow-up Engage Plus project tests will be performed to identify the amounts of methane emissions obtained when fueling the engine with natural gas and a compression ignitable diesel and oxygenate. The project allows Discovery access to the advanced combustion skill-sets of the Ciccarelli Combustion group at Queen's, skills not found in Industry. Data obtained in this program will allow optimized and continued development of Discovery's product and lead to additional funding and the hiring of Canadians.

该关系的目的是允许测量以天然气作为主要燃料的压燃式双燃料发动机的甲烷气体排放。发现燃料技术公司的燃料系统产品将用于供应柴油机的先导燃料。为了使这项开发取得成功，Discovery需要进行发动机测试，以确定在柴油发动机的最佳加油条件下减少甲烷排放的方法。皇后大学和发现号已经在皇后大学发动机实验室的现有测功机上安装了柴油发动机和所需的外围传感器。该发动机被用作初始Engage项目的一部分，以测量在各种发动机速度和负载下使用柴油的发动机性能。还用二甲醚进行了一些有限的测试，以验证燃料 系统能够处理更易挥发的燃料。在后续的Engage Plus项目测试中，将进行测试，以确定当用天然气和压缩可燃柴油和柴油机为发动机提供燃料时所获得的甲烷排放量。该项目允许发现号获得皇后学院Ciccarelli Combustion小组的先进燃烧技能，这些技能在工业中找不到。在该计划中获得的数据将允许优化和继续开发发现的产品，并导致额外的资金和雇用加拿大人。
