Basics
- This page aims to cover OSE Efforts on developing an Open Source Reactivity Controlled Compression Ignition Internal Combustion Engine
Existing Work
Scientific
IFCPAR / CEFIPRA Project
- They did a project titled “Methanol/DI-Methylether (DME) Duel Fuel RCCI Combustion Engine”
- It was essentially an OTS Diesel Engine Modified With:
- Electric Turbochargers for Engine-Independt Varying of EGR
- An Off The Shelf Methanol Fuel Injection System
- A Semi-Custom DME Fuel Injection System
- To Remedy the Fuel Lubricity issue, a “bubbler” filled with Rapeseed Oil Methyl Ester (aka Canola Oil Biodiesel ) was used in between the DME supply, and the final Fuel Rail / Injector side
