Abstract(E)	Alternative and renewable fuels play a fundamental role in research and development activities aimed at reducing the environmental impact of internal combustion engines. The possibility of using alternative fuels, whether they are pure or blended, is linked to the flexibility of the injection system, whose behavior depends on the fuel features. In this context, the article reports an investigation on a high-pressure pump for common rail diesel injection systems. Investigations have considered a single-piston pump, widely adopted in the field of light duty diesel engines. The experimental activity has been conducted on an instrumented test rig, equipped with a fluid thermoregulation system. Moving from a conventional fluid (commercial diesel) to a waste cooking oil (WCO) biodiesel, the influence of such alternative fuel on pump behavior has been investigated and discussed, highlighting the link between pump performance (in terms of torque- and volumetric-efficiency) and fuel type. The investigations allow to characterize the performance of the current generation of a single-piston pump, operating with pure fuels (diesel and biodiesel) and their blends (B20 and B40). The impact of operating conditions and fuel type is analyzed on a wide pump operating range, both in terms of shaft speed and delivery pressure; the results show how the pump behavior reflects the mechanical features of the fuels (viscosity and compressibility modulus), and that a significant increase in pump efficiency is obtained when using a limited biodiesel content in mixture (B20).

About search

How to use the search box

You can enter up to 5 search conditions. The number of search boxes can be increased or decreased with the "+" and "-" buttons on the right.

If you enter multiple words separated by spaces in one search box, the data that "contains all" of the entered words will be searched (AND search).

Example) X (space) Y → "X and Y (including)"

How to use "AND" and "OR" pull-down

If "AND" is specified, the "contains both" data of the phrase entered in the previous and next search boxes will be searched. If you specify "OR", the data that "contains" any of the words entered in the search boxes before and after is searched.

Example) X AND Y → "X and Y (including)" X OR Z → "X or Z (including)"

If AND and OR searches are mixed, OR search has priority.

Example) X AND Y OR Z → X AND (Y OR Z)

If AND search and multiple OR search are mixed, OR search has priority.

Example) W AND X OR Y OR Z → W AND (X OR Y OR Z)

How to use the search filters

Use the "search filters" when you want to narrow down the search results, such as when there are too many search results. If you check each item, the search results will be narrowed down to only the data that includes that item.

The number in "()" after each item is the number of data that includes that item.

Search tips

When searching by author name, enter the first and last name separated by a space, such as "Taro Jidosha".
