Abstract
Combustion characteristics of a compression ignition engine fueled with dimethyl ether (DME) were investigated. The combustion process was observed by high-speed video cameras, and compared with that for light oil. As a result, DME evaporates rapidly after the injection and droplets do not reach to combustion cavity wall. The ignition occurs in the swirl downstream region near the spray tip, and then the flame extends to the spray upstream direction. The weak luminescence of blue color was observed for DME combustion, while light oil emits the strong luminescence.
