Definitions
- selected fuel properties associated with a fuel sample of a select fuel can be measured at a vehicle service site with mid-infrared analysis and displayed.
- the vehicle service site can include a location at or near a fuel delivery dispenser.
- Such dispensers can be located at gasoline service stations, convenience stores or other locations where gasoline is provided to consumers.
- a vehicle service site can include a vehicle service bay where mechanics test and/or repair vehicles.
- the pre-determined preferred value ranges for the fuel properties can be correlated with values for the fuel properties for each ofthe dispenser fuels, and an optimal dispenser fuel for the vehicle identified and displayed based upon this correlation.
- dispenser fuel(s) refers to the fuels available at the fuel delivery dispenser.
- the devices can further include an inputting means for entering vehicle information, such as the model and type of vehicle; a processing means for correlating vehicle information with pre-determined preferred value ranges for the fuel properties based upon the manufacturer's fuel recommendations for the particular vehicle; and a comparison display means for comparing the measured values with the pre- determined preferred value ranges, and displaying the result ofthe comparison.
- the devices can further include a rating means for evaluating a rating for the fuel sample based upon the comparison; and a rating display means for displaying the fuel sample rating.
- detected absorbance signal outputs from the detectors 48 can be fed into the processor 50 for determining the values for the properties of the sample.
- the co ⁇ elating means 62 can co ⁇ elate the detected absorbance values (e.g., A ⁇ + A2 + ... Aj ⁇ ) associated with the particular fuel components with a matrix of pre-determined coefficients (e.g., C ⁇ + C2 + ... C ⁇ ) associated with the fuel components and pre-determined values ofthe fuel property being measured.
- a pre-determined coefficient e.g., Cjdi
Abstract
Technique et appareils permettant de caractériser et d'optimiser des carburants, de diagnostiquer des problèmes relatifs à des carburants et d'adapter des carburants à de nouveaux types de moteurs dans une aire de service pour véhicules. Il est possible, grâce à cette invention, de mesurer par analyse aux infrarouges moyens et d'afficher les propriétés d'un échantillon de carburant. Il est possible de fixer des valeurs prédéterminées souhaitables concernant les propriétés d'un carburant destiné à un véhicule donné en introduisant dans un processeur le modèle et le type du véhicule et en établissant une corrélation entre les données sur le véhicule et les valeurs souhaitables. On peut comparer les valeurs souhaitables et les valeurs mesurées et afficher les résultats. On peut évaluer un échantillon de carburant destiné à ce véhicule à partir de cette comparaison et afficher les résultats. On peut également définir, pour ce véhicule, un carburant optimal provenant d'un distributeur en établissant une comparaison entre les valeurs souhaitables et les valeurs concernant les propriétés des divers carburants émanant de distributeurs. On peut également identifier et diagnostiquer les problèmes relatifs aux carburants en se fondant sur cette comparaison, le diagnostic s'affichant immédiatement aux yeux de l'opérateur. Dans un mode de réalisation, on peut déterminer l'indice de maniabilité in situ et en temps réel. Dans d'autres modes de réalisation, on peut déterminer de façon semblable l'indice d'octane et la pression de vapeur Reid.
