Cleaner diesel engines: Pouring water on troubled oils
June 3rd, 2010 |

To make engines cleaner, add H2O
DIESEL engines, with their rough-and-ready, spark-plug-free method of fuel ignition, have a reputation for being smoky and smelly. These days, that is a bit unfair. Fussy consumers and even fussier regulations mean the sophisticated diesels used to propel modern cars are pretty much as clean as their petrol-powered, sparked-up equivalents. But the heavy-duty diesels employed in ships still have a long way to go.
And that matters. Research by James Corbett of the University of Delaware estimates that soot from ships’ diesels contributes to 60,000 deaths from heart and lung disease every year. Dirty ships’ diesels also produce oxides of nitrogen—the main ingredient of smog. Now that land-based nitrogen-oxide pollution is being cleaned up, about 30% of the world’s remaining emissions of the stuff are reckoned to come out of the funnels of seagoing cargo vessels. …
