Fueltech Solutions CRU™ is an advanced tool for research on ignition and combustion properties of fuels based on the principle of Constant Volume Combustion Chamber (CVCC).
The CRU platform is a flexible and has proven its reliability through several years of operation. The modular design allows for different setups to meet the requirements of most fuel and engine configurations.
Ignition and combustion properties can be studied for liquid and gaseous fuels for all types of internal combustion engines. Ignition can be achieved through auto ignition, pilot fuel ignition or spark ignition.
CRU configurations:
Auto ignition
Dual fuel – Auto ignition
Combustible gas – Pilot fuel or spark ignition
Gasoline – Spark ignition
CRU benefits:
-Fully automated operation and high test capacity
-High precision and long term stability
-Small sample volume
-Constant and repeatable physical conditions
-Isolate effects of fuel properties
-Small footprint
CRU application areas:
-Qualitative analysis of fuel ignition properties and combustion kinetics.
