As a result of studies made with rapeseed oil, researchers reported that rapeseed oil methyl esters can be used on diesel engines. It was determined that rapeseed oil methyl ester showed better results than soybean oil methyl ester in terms of emission. In addition, with pre-heating application, the engine torque increased at low engine speeds, CO, HC and smoke density decreased significantly. It was determined that using of rapeseed oil methyl ester shortened the ignition delay period. 3, record 1, English, - rapeseed%20oil%20methyl%20ester

L’ester méthylique de colza, qui dans un premier temps a été développé pour des raisons d’indépendance de carburant en cas de choc pétrolier, s’est peu à peu affirmé comme un carburant alternatif au gazole, notamment pour une utilisation sur les flottes captives (les bus par exemples). Après une baisse de l’utilisation due au développement de nouveaux moteurs fonctionnant avec du gazole désulfuré, l’ester a retrouvé un nouveau souffle de vie en tant qu’«additif de luxe». 2, record 1, French, - ester%20m%C3%A9thylique%20de%20colza

A period of time after burner startup(call for heat) during which the burner motor(blower or fan) runs to change the air of the combustion chamber and breeching prior to ignition trials. This removes any unburned fuel so only the incoming fuel will be present for ignition. 2, record 19, English, - prepurge

The programmer controls the sequence of operation as follows: 1. Starts the burner fan so that the furnace, or combustion space, the gas passages of the heat exchanger, and the breeching are purged of any unburned combustible gases. This flow of air is maintained until the entire volume of combustion space, gas passages, and breeching has been changed at least several times. it is commonly called prepurge. 3, record 19, English, - prepurge

Certains brûleurs réalisent le prébalayage, c'est-à-dire un effet de soufflerie qui précède l'allumage des électrodes et qui a pour effet de chasser les gaz détonants (mélange de gaz rémanents et imbrûlés qui n'auraient pas fait l'objet d'une combustion parfaite) La période de prébalayage (quelques secondes) peut se confondre avec la période de pré-allumage qui correspond à la mise sous tension du transformateur d'allumage. 1, record 19, French, - pr%C3%A9balayage
