For professionals in the fuel industry, optimizing the performance of diesel engines is a constant pursuit. A critical factor in diesel combustion quality is the cetane number, which directly correlates with the fuel's ignition delay. 2-Ethylhexyl Nitrate (2-EHN), known by its CAS number 27247-96-7, is a highly effective additive used to significantly boost this cetane number, thereby enhancing diesel combustion efficiency.

The mechanism by which 2-EHN works is through the rapid decomposition of the nitrate group at engine operating temperatures. This decomposition initiates the combustion process earlier, shortening the ignition delay period. A shorter ignition delay means that the fuel ignites more readily and burns more smoothly, leading to several tangible benefits for diesel engines. These include reduced engine knocking, lower combustion noise, and a more stable combustion process. For fuel producers and refiners, incorporating 2-EHN is a direct way to improve the quality and marketability of their diesel fuel.

Beyond improving ignition characteristics, the enhanced combustion efficiency facilitated by 2-Ethylhexyl Nitrate also contributes to better fuel economy and reduced emissions. When diesel fuel burns more completely, less unburnt fuel escapes, leading to higher energy conversion and thus, improved miles per gallon. Concurrently, the reduction in incomplete combustion can lead to lower particulate matter and other harmful exhaust gas outputs, aligning with increasingly stringent environmental regulations. This makes 2-EHN a valuable component for producing cleaner-burning diesel fuels.
