Resistively heated methanol dissociator for engine cold start assist. Technical report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6936924
The report describes the system constructed for a methanol-fueled light-duty engine. It consists of a steam-heated methanol boiler, a gas superheater, and a platinum-catalyzed dissociation element. The product gas from the system was used to start and idle a test engine that had been cooled to 43 F. The report also includes the dissociator-element specifications, hydrogen content determination, and test-engine specifications.
