Abstract
DME has recently been shown to be an attractive high cetane fuel
for diesel engines, offering the advantages of soot free
operation, with low engine noise, the potential for low NOx
emissions, and low reactivity emissions of hydrocarbons and
unburned fuel. DME has physical characteristics similar to LPG,
and must be produced from other carbonaceous materials, such and
natural gas, coal and bio-mass. The most attractive economic
option is currently production from remote natural gas. Due to its
different phsuycial characteristics, special considerations must
be taken in the design and modification of engine fuels systems in
regard to lubricity and suitable sealing materials.
