Abstract
In this paper, propose a new fuel injection system using diesel fuel dissolved in liquefied CO2. The system has the capability of reducing both NOx and soot simultaneously. This concept strives to improve the atomization of fuel spray by flash boiling liquefied CO2 gas. Moreover, it is possible to control the combustion system, for instance, and internal EGR effect is produced by the separated CO2 gas. In this paper, the characteristics of diesel spray of the fuel dissolved with liquefied CO2 were investigated using several optical measurements and the variance of CO2 molar fraction, ambient pressure and ambient density under room-temperature conditions. The spray characteristics were revealed using analysis in chemical thermodynamics. The atomization and dispersion of a free spray composed of fuel dissolved in liquefied CO2 are much better than those of normal diesel fuel oil, due to the flash boiling process in the relatively low pressure field.
