Abstract: The interest in water-diesel emulsion fuel (EM) is increased recently because of the significant reduction in emissions from diesel exhaust, especially NOx and PM. In this study, a diesel engine configured for experimental investigations was fueled by ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) and a diesel-water emulsion (EM). Both fuels’ combustion characteristics were studied at a speed of 1500 rpm and using a load of 2.5 and 5 bars and variable injection timings. Regular and irregular pollutants were studied at the same conditions as well as at variable engine loads and speeds to better understanding for their formation conditions. As for the first time (in the case of an engine running with a water-diesel emulsion) irregular pollutants for EM emulsion were measured.
