RISCoal-Fueled Diesel Engine Development Update at GE Transportation Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The U.S. Department of Energy is sponsoring a General Electric Company development program for using coal-water slurry (CWS) to power a diesel engine and to test it in a locomotive. The first ...
Progress on the Investigation of Coal-Water Slurry Fuel Combustion in a Medium Speed Diesel Engine: Part 2—Preliminary Full Load Test
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Full load (186 kW/cyl) operation using CWS fuel at 1050 rpm has been achieved on a single-cylinder GE-7FDL test engine. No major changes in engine parameters were made. With normal inlet air ...
Progress on the Investigation of Coal-Water Slurry Fuel Combustion in a Medium Speed Diesel Engine: Part 1—Ignition Studies
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A micronized de-ashed coal-water slurry (CWS) fuel of approximately 50 percent coal loading has been successfully ignited and burned in one GE 7FDL engine cylinder at 1050 rpm. For this study, ...
Progress on the Investigation of Coal-Water Slurry Fuel Combustion in a Medium-Speed Diesel Engine: Part 6—In-Cylinder Combustion Photography Studies
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the GE 7FDL single cylinder research diesel engine, in-cylinder high-speed photographic studies were conducted on coal-water slurry (CWS) fuel combustion. Distinct flames of pilot and CWS ...
The General Electric Coal-Fueled Diesel Engine Program (1982–1993): A Technical Review
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the early 1980s, General Electric—Transportation Systems (GE-TS), a manufacturer of locomotive diesel engines, announced plans to develop a coal-fueled locomotive due to the availability and ...
Progress on the Investigation of Coal-Water Slurry Fuel Combustion in a Medium-Speed Diesel Engine: Part 5—Combustion Studies
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the GE 7FDL single-cylinder research diesel engine, coal-water slurry (CWS) fuel combustion optimization studies were conducted using electronically controlled CWS and pilot accumulator injectors. ...
Progress on the Investigation of Coal-Water-Slurry Fuel Combustion in a Medium-Speed Diesel Engine: Part 3—Accumulator Injector Performance
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Coal-water-slurry (CWS) engine tests designed to evaluate a new accumulator-based injection system are described in this paper. The new injection system was found to improve CWS burnout considerably ...
Coal-Fueled Diesel Engine Progress at GE Transportation Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A coal-fueled diesel engine holds the promise of a rugged, modular heat engine that uses cheap, abundant fuel. Economic studies have indicated attractive returns at moderate diesel fuel prices. ...
