Lisäkaasut

Lisäkaasut are a type of fuel addition used in mobile and stationary engines to improve their efficiency and performance. The term "lisäkaasut" is Finnish, which translates to "added gases" in English.

Lisäkaasut typically consist of high-calorie fuels such as diesel fuel, gasoline, or other hydrocarbons that are injected into the combustion chamber of an engine at various points to supplement the primary fuel. The addition of lisäkaasut can increase the compression ratio of the engine, resulting in higher power output and improved fuel efficiency.

There are different types of lisäkaasut available, including diesel-based, gasoline-based, and bio-based types. Diesel-based lisäkaasut are often used in heavy-duty engines, such as those found in trucks and construction equipment, while gasoline-based lisäkaasut are commonly used in smaller engines, such as those found in passenger vehicles.

The benefits of using lisäkaasut include improved fuel efficiency, increased power output, and reduced emissions. However, lisäkaasut can also have negative impacts on engine wear and tear, particularly if they are not designed to work in conjunction with the other engine components.

Lisäkaasut are used in a variety of applications, including industrial equipment, locomotives, and ships. However, their use is not widespread, and many manufacturers do not support their use. Research into newer technologies, such as hydrogen fuel cells or spark and compression ignition engines, may further reduce the importance of lisäkaasut in the years to come.
