Summary of Test

27、 Method4.1 A small specimen 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 st

28、art offuel injection and the start of significant combustion for eachcycle. A complete sequence comprises 2 preliminary cyclesand 25 further cycles. The ID measurements for the last 25cycles are averaged to produce the ID result. An equationconverts the ID result to a DCN.5. Significance and Use5.1

29、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 by engine manufacturers, petro-leum refiners and marketers, and in commerce as a specifica-tion aid to relate or match
