Such systems allow engines securely starting and working on absolute (96%) alcohol, even in low temperature environments. This article describes the operation principle of a multi-point superheated fuels injection system; and the comparison analysis of thermal efficiency and heat balances of both the baseline gasoline engine and the engine with a developed superheated alcohol-based fuel injection system is provided. In experimental studies, the contents of CO, CH, and CO<sub>2</sub> in the combustion products of alcohols were determined. Based on the obtained results we can conclude that the application of the proposed multi-point injection system operating on superheated alcohol fuels reduces both greenhouse gas emissions and harmful substances in exhaust gas emissions.</p> ER -
