Diethyl Ether as Additive and Its Effect on Diesel Engine Performance ? A Review

Increasing demand of fuel day by day its consumption and hazards cause serious intensive attention is required for this problem. Also an Improvement of fuel properties are essential for suppression of pollutant and optimization of engine performance. One way is use of additives. Oxygenated additives were conventionally recommended for gasoline. But now day’s oxygenated additives are widely considered for diesel fuel. This additives can also be used in combination with biodiesel. There are number of additives are available for diesel fuel. On the basis of different experimental investigations by the researchers ,this paper reviews about Di-ethyl Ether (DEE) as oxygenated additives mixed with diesel- biodiesel blends and compares its effect on performance and exhaust gas emission of compression ignition engine.
