Abstract
⺠The effect of biodiesel and ethanol on low temperature combustion (LTC) load limits are investigated. ⺠LTC is smoke limited at high load for diesel and biodiesel fuels. ⺠Ultra low smoke emission is possible with biodiesel-ethanol fuel. ⺠The high load limits of biodiesel-ethanol LTC is caused by a drop of combustion efficiency rather than smoke. ⺠High-efficiency LTC load limits can be extended to 0.35-0.82 MPa IMEP with biodiesel-ethanol.
