ABSTRACT
EXPERIMENTAL DETAILS
A single-cylinder research engine that is a version of
the Caterpillar 3406 production engine was used in the
study. The engine is capable of producing 54 kW at a
rated speed of 2100 RPM. Engine specifications pertinent
to the present study are listed in Table 1.

TEST CONDITIONS
The goal of this study was to quantify changes in
emissions and engine performance caused by varying
injection Parameters. Therefore engine speed, inlet
temperatures and pressures, exhaust back pressure, and
equivalence ratio were held constant for testing, and the
values are listed in Table 2. The values were chosen to
reflect common loads placed on this engine (1600 rpm
and a equivalence ratio of 0.45, or approximately 80%
load) as well as the appropriate inlet temperature and
pressure conditions (Brown, 1992).
