Summary of Test Method4.1 A small specime

35、n of diesel fuel oil is injected into aheated, temperature-controlled constant volume chamber,which has previously been charged with compressed air. Eachinjection produces a single-shot, compression ignition combus-tion cycle. ID is measured using sensors that detect the start offuel injection and t

36、he start of significant combustion for eachcycle. A complete sequence comprises 15 preliminary cyclesand 32 further cycles. The ID measurements for the last 32cycles are averaged to produce the ID result. An equationconverts the ID result to DCN (derived cetane number), whichis correlated to cetane

37、number by Test Method D613.5. Significance and Use5.1 The ID and DCN values determined by this test methodcan provide a measure of the ignition characteristics of dieselfuel oil in compression ignition engines.5.2 This test can be used in commerce as a specification aidto relate or match fuels and e

38、ngines. It can also be useful inresearch or when there is interest in the ignition delay of adiesel fuel under the conditions of this test method.5.3 The relationship of diesel fuel oil DCN determinationsto the performance of full-scale, variable-speed, variable-loaddiesel engines is not completely

39、understood.5.4 This test may be applied to non-conventional fuels. It isrecognized that the performance of non-conventional fuels infull-scale engines is not completely understood. The user istherefore cautioned to investigate the suitability of ignitioncharacteristic measurements for predicting per

40、formance infull-scale engines for these types of fuels.5.5 This test determines ignition characteristics and requiresa sample of approximately 100 mL and a test time ofapproximately 20 min on a fit-for-use instrument.6. Interferences6.1 Minimize exposure of sample fuels, calibration refer-ence mater

41、ials, QC samples, and check standard to sunlight orfluorescent lamp UV emissions to minimize induced chemicalreactions that can affect ignition delay measurements.86.1.1 Exposure of these fuels and materials to UV wave-lengths shorter than 550 nanometers for a short period of timemay significantly a

42、ffect ignition delay measurements.NOTE 1The formation of peroxide and radicals can effect ignitiondelay measurement. These formations are minimized when the sample ormaterial is stored in the dark in a cold room at a temperature of less than10C, and covered by a blanket of nitrogen.6.2 Statistical a

43、nalysis of data from a sequential testingstudy (Note 2) revealed a possible carryover effect in succeed-ing tests on samples containing 2ethylhexylnitrate cetaneimprover at concentrations above 2000 ppm.NOTE 2In the sequential testing study, a fuel without cetane improverwas tested three times back-

44、to-back. Then a fuel with 2ethylhexylnitratecetane improver at concentrations above 2000 ppm was tested.Subsequently, the same fuel without cetane improver was tested threetimes. Statistical analyses of repeat data on two units were examined forevidence of hysteresis.7. Apparatus7.1 GeneralThis test
