• Bunker fuel – standard test method
• Domestic heating oil – evaluation of combustion efficiency
• Distillates and MGO – evaluation of combustion efficiency
• Compatible with previous FIA models used by the industry since 1995
•  

Test output

• Combustion Pressure trace
• Rate of heat Release – ROHR
• Calculated parameters:
  • Ignition Properties
  • Combustion Properties
• ECN – Estimated Cetane Number
  • Range 5- 40 ECN
  • Analogue to Cetane Number for diesel
  • Calculated based on parameter MCD- Main Combustion Delay
  •  

FIA testing used by

• Major fuel testing agencies
• Oil companies
  • Product development , R&D
  • Product quality control
• Engine Manufacturers
•  

FIA testing can be used to evaluate the real combustion properties of the fuel

• What parameters are suitable for your engine?
• Find own criteria for ignition and combustion properties that puts you in the ”comfort zone”
• Advice from engine manufacturer, test agencies
• Price / quality / risk
