High-Voltage pulse for fuel thinning
High-Voltage pulse for fuel thinning
(OP)
Have you seen the research from Temple University in Philadelphia? A high voltage pulse is driven through the gasoiline at the fuel injector output. This creates samller aerosal particles which combust more effeciently, allowing about 10% better efficiency in the engine.

The diesel injector is never shown but the test in that case is at a totally unrealistic 200 PSI. There is no diesel injection system that operates at such a low pressure, in fact the major improvements in diesel systems has come from a tremendous increase in injection pressure over the years. Again, there is no significant visible difference in the quantity of large droplets.
The claims on improved combustion efficiency are presented without any evidence to back them up. It would have been easy to make some dynomometer or highway tests with such a simple apparatus to verify the claims. I expect any improvements would be minuscule at best, certainly not the huge improvements claimed.

But no, OK, so it's over the page now but Greg Locock's thread thread71-227286: This has got to be snake oil already brought this research work to the fore.

What about preheating for higher temperature diesel fuel at the injectors? Doesn't that also reduce the droplet size? I'm sure engine scientists must have had lots of experiments with that over the last 100 years.
