Empa and partners exploring DME as fuel with new heavy-duty test engine

Green Car Congress

An electrically driven compressor for precise exhaust gas recirculation is also used. Then we modify the timing and pressure of the injection, among other things, and look at exhaust emission values and fuel consumption. This is done via exhaust gas recirculation (EGR). —Patrik Soltic. The first results are very promising.
