A facility for examining shale fuel property-related combustion ignition effects on diesel engine performance has been installed at the U.S. Army Fuels and Lubricants Research Laboratory (AFLRL). The facility consists of a single-cylinder conversion of a three-cylinder, two-stroke cycle engine, an engine instrumentation package for determining combustion efficiencies, and a dedicated system for rapid data acquisition. The computer system and software has been developed with the flexibility to expand into other areas of fuels and combustion research. The facility will be an effective tool in the continuing development of Army mobility fuels. (Author)
