Coal slurry fuels were combusted in an indirect injection diesel engine at a 16.5:1 compression ratio with engine speeds of 800, 1,000, and 1,200 rpm. Five different coal fuels were used in liquid carriers of diesel fuel No. 2, methanol, water, and methanol-water blends. Data on combustion, gaseous emissions, and wear are presented. The experimental equipment is described and schematics of the test stand and instrumentation are illustrated. Conclusions on the effect of the liquid carrier and on the amount of ash in solid coal are presented.
