Revision as of 14:26, 24 July 2025
Basics
- (From energy.gov) Dimethyl ether (DME) is a synthetically produced hydrocarbon, comparable to Propane / LPG
- It can be an alternative to diesel for use in specially designed (or sufficiently modified existing) Compression Ignition Engines ( Diesel Engines )
- It is also used as a low-temperature solvent and extraction agent
- Under normal atmospheric conditions, DME is a colorless gas
- It is used extensively in the chemical industry and as an aerosol propellant
- Dimethyl ether requires about 75 pounds per square inch (psi) of pressure to be in liquid form
- Because of this, DME's handling requirements are similar to those of propane—both must be kept in pressurized storage tanks at an ambient temperature
