How Many Types of Diesel Fuel Grades Are There?
1 Answers
Diesel fuel is classified by its freezing point. Light diesel has six grades: 5, 0, -10, -20, -35, and -50, while heavy diesel has three grades: 10, 20, and 30. Related information: 1. Introduction: Diesel is a light petroleum product, a complex mixture of hydrocarbons (carbon atoms approximately 10~22). It serves as fuel for diesel engines. It is primarily blended from diesel fractions produced through processes such as crude oil distillation, catalytic cracking, thermal cracking, hydrocracking, and petroleum coking. 2. Uses: The most important use of diesel is for diesel engines in vehicles and ships. Compared to gasoline, diesel has a higher energy density and lower fuel consumption rate, but its exhaust contains more harmful components (NO, particulate matter, etc.).
