二甲醚汽车的研究现状及发展前景

Application and Development Prospects for Vehicles Fueled with DME

二甲醚(DME)具有良好的燃烧性能,可以替代柴油用作清洁的汽车燃料。二甲醚汽车凭借其超低排放的优势,将得到更广泛的应用。文章介绍了二甲醚的物理化学性质、来源以及二甲醚在汽车发动机上的应用。同时指出二甲醚的蒸发压力过高、热值较低、粘度过低等一系列问题以及改进方法和发展方向。指出二甲醚作为替代燃料应用于汽车领域具有很大的优势,应该得到国家相关部门的技术及资金支持。

DME, with good combustion performance, can replace diesel used as a clean car fuel. DME car will get wider applications because of its ultra-low emission. This paper introduces DME＇s physical and chemical characteristics, source and its applications on diesel engines. This paper tells us the drawbacks of DME, including high evaporation pressure, low calorific value and low viscosity as well as its improvement methods and its development tendency. As the alternative fuel used in automotive field, DME has a lot of advantages and relevant authorities should support the environmental protection fuel technologically and financially.
