Polttoaineseokset
Polttoaineseokset, or fuel additives, are substances added to fuels to improve their performance, efficiency, and environmental impact. These additives can be categorized into several types based on their function. Engine cleaners and detergents are designed to prevent the buildup of deposits and varnish in the engine, ensuring smooth operation and longevity. Corrosion inhibitors protect the fuel system from rust and corrosion, particularly in older vehicles or those exposed to harsh conditions. Anti-wear additives reduce friction and wear between moving parts, extending the life of engine components. Anti-foam agents prevent the formation of foam in the fuel system, which can cause engine damage. Anti-static additives prevent the accumulation of static electricity in the fuel system, which can lead to ignition and potential fire hazards. Emission control additives reduce harmful emissions by improving combustion efficiency and reducing the formation of pollutants. Polttoaineseokset are typically added to fuel in small quantities, usually measured in parts per million (ppm). They are available in various forms, including liquids, powders, and pre-mixed concentrates, and are compatible with different types of fuels, including gasoline, diesel, and biofuels. The use of fuel additives is regulated by various authorities to ensure their safety and effectiveness. Regular maintenance and proper use of fuel additives can significantly enhance the performance and reliability of vehicles and machinery.
