-
The PAC CID 510 is a constant volume combustion chamber (CVCC), and it was used to determine a fuel’s derived cetane number (DCN) and combustion phasing. DCN is a measurement of a fuel’s autoignition quality. For each combustion analysis, 5 conditioning cycles were performed in the CVCC.
-
5 conditioning cycles were followed by 15 full cycles of injection, combustion, and exhaust and the results were averaged. All testing utilizes the ASTM D7668-14.a Testing Standard.
-
The numbers on the Figure correspond to essential components in the system. Component 1 is the high-pressure common rail, component 2 is the 6-orifice BOSCH high-pressure fuel injector which provides an excellent spray pattern and atomization of the test fuel. It injects into a uniformly heated, constant volume, controlled pressure, combustion chamber labeled as component 3. Pressure changes due to combustion were measured with a piezoelectric pressure sensor shown as component 4. Additionally, injection pressure in the rail, is measured using the pressure sensor 5.
