Compression Ignition And Turbine Engine Fuel

Compression Ignition and Turbine Engine Fuel are types of fuels that fall under the supply class Liquid Propellants and Fuels, specifically in the supply group Fuels, Lubricants, Oils, and Waxes.

Compression Ignition Fuel, also known as diesel fuel, is a type of fuel that is commonly used in compression ignition engines, such as diesel engines. It is characterized by its high energy density and is typically derived from petroleum. Compression ignition engines rely on the heat generated by compressing the air-fuel mixture to ignite the fuel.

Turbine Engine Fuel, on the other hand, is a type of fuel specifically designed for use in turbine engines, such as those found in aircraft or power generation systems. Turbine engines require a fuel that can withstand high temperatures and pressures, and provide efficient combustion. These fuels are typically highly refined petroleum-based fuels, such as Jet A or Jet A-1.

Both Compression Ignition and Turbine Engine Fuels are important for various applications, and their properties and specifications are carefully regulated to ensure safe and efficient operation of the engines they are used in.
