Summary of Test Method4.1 A small specimen of diesel fuel oil is injected into aheated, temperature-controlled constant

28、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 the start of significant combustion for eachcycle. A complete sequence comprises

29、 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.
