Project Objective
• Convert a gasoline engine to operate on E85 without sacrificing fuel consumption, increasing performance and reducing emissions
• Provide a control system unit to manage the engine

Q&A Presentation 1
• Engine Cooling– No change to combustion chamber
temperatures
• Materials– Engines have been manufactured to run
on ethanol (E10) for over a decade
![Page 6: Group 9A: Jerry Dutreuil Joshua Guerra Matt Grywalski](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/5681454a550346895db21b9f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Areas for Technical Analysis
• Ignition Timing
• Explosion Limits
• Emissions
• Power/Torque
![Page 7: Group 9A: Jerry Dutreuil Joshua Guerra Matt Grywalski](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/5681454a550346895db21b9f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Ignition Timing
• Used to control power and chamber temperatures
• Typical Ignition timing ranges from 5˚BTDC at start to over 40˚BTDC at higher RPMs
• Temperatures and power will be measured before and after the conversion to optimize timing
![Page 8: Group 9A: Jerry Dutreuil Joshua Guerra Matt Grywalski](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/5681454a550346895db21b9f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Ignition Timing
![Page 9: Group 9A: Jerry Dutreuil Joshua Guerra Matt Grywalski](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/5681454a550346895db21b9f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Explosion Limits
• Equations:– LEL =( P1 + P2 + ... Pn)/(P1/lel1 +P2/lel2 + ...
Pn/leln) – UEL =( P1 + P2 + ... Pn)/(P1/uel1 +P2/uel2 + ...
Pn/ueln)
Fuel Lower Limit Upper Limit
Gasoline 1.4 7.6
Ethanol 3.3 19
![Page 10: Group 9A: Jerry Dutreuil Joshua Guerra Matt Grywalski](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/5681454a550346895db21b9f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Explosion Limits
• LEL=1/[(.15/1.4)+(.85/3.3)]=2.74• UEL=1/[(.15/7.6)+(.85/19)]=15.5
• Lambda– Measures fuel content in combustion chamber
(AFR/AFRstoich)
– Typical range between .68 and 1.4– Corresponding values based on explosion limits
are .56 to 3.65• Fuel will combust
![Page 11: Group 9A: Jerry Dutreuil Joshua Guerra Matt Grywalski](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/5681454a550346895db21b9f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Emissions
• Although emissions can be theoretically calculated the process is extremely involved
• Emissions will be measured prior to conversion and after (without the use of a catalytic converter) based on EPA standards
![Page 12: Group 9A: Jerry Dutreuil Joshua Guerra Matt Grywalski](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/5681454a550346895db21b9f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Emissions• Local Testing Procedure (IM240)
– 240 Seconds Test– Average Speed 30 MPH– Max Speed 56.7 MPH– Total of 2 Miles– Idle time to be less than 3.8% of total time
![Page 13: Group 9A: Jerry Dutreuil Joshua Guerra Matt Grywalski](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/5681454a550346895db21b9f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Power/Torque
• Power Calculated from measured Torque– HP =(Torque x rpm)/5250
• Torque optimized by changing timing
• Baseline and final torque will be measured on a chassis dynamometer

Plan for Phase 3
• Prototype– Ignition timing model– Fuel consumption model
• Plan– Fit ECM to engine with existing sensors– Test engine operation prior to conversion
• Purchase– Engine– ECM– Various Sensors– Dynamometer time

Nugget Chart
![Page 17: Group 9A: Jerry Dutreuil Joshua Guerra Matt Grywalski](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/5681454a550346895db21b9f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Conclusion
• With ignition timing, we will control the combustion in the cylinder chamber
• We will provide a kit that will enable someone to run on E85/gasoline blend
