A study on the test and evaluation systems of methanol vehicles
 

        China has a vast land and its various places adopt different alternative fuels. The uncertainties of the supporting policy and economical environment make the infrastructure and fleet development in variance with the macro policy. Methanol has the lowest cost of all alternative fuels, prepared for being massively produced and its storage system is closest to that of petrol. The problems include impact on conventional rubber, light erosion with metal and inferior emissions.
The study includes

  1. Engine performance
    1. Evaluation of different-blended methanol petrol to engine start, cold start, running engine emissions, low-load working conditions, as well as study into unconventional emissions characters.
    2. Impact of different blended methanol petrol towards engine in terms of the dynamics and fuel economy.
    3. Impact of different blended methanol petrol towards engine emissions ( conventional or unconventional )
  2. Systematic engineering
    1. Study on different blended methanol petrol towards metal, rubber, plastics and other materials in terms of erosion, swelling and other factors.
    2. Evaluation of different blended methanol petrol towards the movement components of the fuel supply system of engine in terms of the friction and friction performance.
    3. Study on the stability of the lubricant of different blended methanol petrol towards the engine.
    4. Study on the adaptability of the after-treatment with the emissions.
    5. A perfection study on the fuel supply system
  3. Durability
    1. Study into fuel addictives preventing the bad resultants of ignition
    2. Study into oil addictives preventing the bad resultants of ignition
    3. Study on the adaptability of the emissions after treatment system to different blended methanol petrol or additives
  4. Vehicle examination
    1. A standard examination program is used to evaluate the methanol fuelĄ¯s vehicle dynamic, fuel economy, emissions, reliability and durability, durability of the lubricant, adaptability of the converter and hardware of the fuel supply system.
  5. Standard
    1. Optimized study on fuel blending
    2. Study on methanol petrol as fuel
    3. Study on limit of irregular emissions of methanol petrol tail gas
  1. Fuel study
Proportion of methanol and petrol, and developments of additives.
