Abstract
Chandler Evans Engineering conducted a test and evaluation program to uncover problem areas of fuel control systems using emulsified fuel. Basic control components and a complete control system were tested as were fuel characteristics pertaining to a control, exposure effects of typical control system materials to the fuel, and temperature and pressure properties of emulsified fuel. Since the absolute quantity of fuel (1000 gal) made available for the program limited testing, no endurance tests were performed. General variations in control component and system performance when operated with JP-4 and emulsified JP-4 appear to be minor. Exposure of typical fuel-control materials indicates the fuel’s highly corrosive nature, which requires special consideration in material selection. The temperature and pressure properties of this fuel, although evaluated from testing, may be used as order of magnitude indication only, based on the one batch of emulsified JP-4 fuel tested. The results, which could be quite different on other batches of the same fuel — or on any of the many other emulsified-type fuels under development, indicate the general field of emulsified fuels.
