Understanding the Nature and Origin of Fuel Powertrain Deposits by the use of High Resolution Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry

商业运输燃料，传统的矿物和生物来源，是复杂的混合物，在过去的二十年里已经有了很大的发展。这是由立法和消费者驱动的新发动机技术进步推动的，这些技术进步要求对燃料进行微调，以平衡效率和功率需求，同时满足排放目标。排放目标是一个重要的“绿色”目标，随着法规的每一次严格增加，该目标变得越来越难以满足。新的法规，例如EURO 6，对动力总成部件（如喷油器和滤清器）的要求越来越高。这两个部件都出现了燃料桶的现场故障。这些故障在柴油机领域中尤其成问题，在柴油机领域中，由于存款形成而引起的喷射器和过滤器故障已经在世界各地被注意到。该项目将通过高分辨率色谱和质谱技术分析柴油燃料和沉积物，以确定和了解这些沉积物的来源。武装这样的信息缓解策略可以采用柴油，混合动力和从2010年海洋动力系统，从而提供一个绿色的目标，让目前和未来的动力系统，以其最高效率的工作，从而最低的emissions.References：吉姆·巴克，杰奎琳·里德，莎拉·安吉尔·史密斯，科林·斯内普，大卫斯库尔，格雷厄姆兰利，克里斯·帕特尔，阿纳斯塔西娅·卡特，克里斯·拉普索恩和弗兰克·普伦.“应用新方法分析喷气燃料热氧化试验仪（JFTOT）中的沉积物”。SAE国际doi：10.4271/2017-01- 2293。Barker，J，兰利，G.

Commercial transportation fuels, both traditional mineral and bio origin, are complex mixtures which have evolved considerably over the last twenty years. This has been driven by legislation and consumer driven new engine technology advances, which have demanded the fine tuning of the fuels to balance efficiency and power demands whilst meeting emission targets. The emission targets are an important "green" goal that is becoming more difficult to meet with every stringent increase in the regulations. New regulations, for example EURO6, are putting increasing demands on the powertrain components such as injectors and filters. Both of these components have seen field failures across the fuel barrel. These failures have been particularly problematic in the diesel area where injector and filter failures because of deposit formation have been noted across the world. This project will analyse diesel fuels and deposits by high resolution chromatography and mass spectrometry techniques to identify and understand the origin of these deposits. Armed with such information mitigation strategies can be employed over diesel , hybrid and from 2010 Marine powertrain systems, thus delivering a green goals by allowing both current and future powertrain systems to work at their maximum efficiency and thus lowest emissions.References:Jim Barker, Jacqueline Reid, Sarah Angel Smith, Colin Snape, David Scurr, Graham Langley, Krina Patel, Anastarsia Carter, Cris Lapthorn and Frank Pullen.
