Abstract

The advantages of controlling the fuel temperature in the engine system are presented in this chapter. By using the thermoelectric material, engine fuel can be cooled or heated to control the temperature of the inlet mixture. In this investigation, the preheating time of the engine can be reduced by heating the fuel. The fuel consumption, the concentration of oxides of nitrogen can be decreased by cooling the fuel. At the same time, the power of the engine also can be increased by cooling the fuel.
