Low Temperature Combustion with Reduced PM and NOx Emissions, Achieved by n-Butanol in-Port Injected in an Omnivorous Diesel Engine

To develop a new engine technology able to reduce drastically and concomitantly the engine NOx and soot by the n-butanol port-fuel injection (PFI) or direct injection of butanol blends coupled with the direct injection of cotton seed biodiesel. The purpose of the technology is to replace the diesel fuel, reducing the emissions and promoting biofuels for transportation and automotive industries with the scope of alleviating the impact of these industries on the global climate.
