English abstract:
The paper describes the effects of using different alternative fuels in SI-engine operation. Fuel blends of various alco-hols like methanol, ethanol and 1-propanol are considered. In a first step investigations on an engine test bench were carried out. The fuel blends were tested on a turbocharged, direct injection engine in regard to their combustion, emis-sion and full load behaviour. In a further step the results from vehicle investigations on a roller dynamometer test bench are presented.
In general, all the investigated fuel blends are suitable for gasoline substitution. Most of them show a great potential for power and efficiency enhancement. Furthermore the limited emissions can be reduced in operation with the investigated fuel blends.
