Automotive fuels - Paraffinic diesel fuel and blends with FAME - Background to the parameters required and their respective limits and determination

This Technical Report explains the requirements and test methods for marketed and delivered
paraffinic diesel as such from synthesis (XTL) or hydrotreatment (HVO) and of blends thereof with up
to 7%(V/V) of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) according to European fuel specifications. It provides
background information to judge the final text of the European Standard EN 15940 and gives guidance
and explanations to the producers, blenders, marketers and users of paraffinic automotive diesel.
Paraffinic diesel is a high quality, clean burning fuel with virtually no sulfur and aromatics. Paraffinic
diesel fuel can be used in diesel engines, also to reduce regulated emissions. In order to have the
greatest possible emissions reduction, a specific calibration may be necessary. Paraffinic diesel fuel can
also offer a meaningful contribution to the target of increased non-crude derived and/or renewable
content in transportation fuel pool.
For general diesel engine warranty, paraffinic automotive diesel fuel may need a validation step to
confirm the compatibility of the fuel with the vehicle, which for some existing engines may still need to
be done. The vehicle manufacturer needs to be consulted before use.
NOTE 1 This document is directly related to the development of EN 15940 and will be updated once further
publications take place.
NOTE 2 Paraffinic diesel is also used as a blending component in automotive diesel fuel. In that case,
composition and properties of the final blends are defined by relevant fuel specification standards.
NOTE 3 For the purposes of this document, the term “% (m/m)” and “% (V/V)” are used to represent the mass
fraction, μ, and the volume fraction, φ, respectively.

Goriva za motorna vozila - Parafinsko dizelsko gorivo in mešanice s FAME - Zahtevani parametri, njihove omejitve ter določevanje

To tehnično poročilo pojasnjuje zahteve in preskusne metode za parafinsko dizelsko gorivo iz sinteze (XTL) ali postopka s hidrogeniranjem (HVO) in za mešanice tega goriva s 7 % (V/V) metilnimi estri maščobnih kislin (FAME) v skladu z evropskimi specifikacijami za gorivo pri prodaji in dobavi. Zagotavlja dodatne informacije za oceno končnega besedila evropskega standarda EN 15940 ter smernice in pojasnila za proizvajalce, pripravljavce mešanic, trgovce in uporabnike parafinskega dizelskega goriva za motorna vozila.
Parafinsko dizelsko gorivo je zelo kakovostno gorivo s čistim izgorevanjem, ki je praktično brez žvepla in aromatskih spojin. Parafinsko dizelsko gorivo se lahko uporablja v dizelskim motorjih in za zmanjšanje predpisanih emisij. Za kar največje možno zmanjšanje emisij bo morda potrebno posebno umerjanje. Parafinsko dizelsko gorivo lahko tudi pomembno prispeva k cilju povečane količine nesurovih in/ali obnovljivih snovi v gorivu za vozni park.
Pri splošni garanciji za dizelski motor je za parafinsko dizelsko gorivo za avtomobile morda potrebno preveriti združljivost goriva z vozilom, kar je morda še vedno potrebno za nekatere obstoječe motorje. Pred uporabo se je treba posvetovati s proizvajalcem vozil.
OPOMBA 1 Ta dokument se neposredno navezuje na razvoj standarda EN 15940 in bo posodobljen, ko bodo na voljo nadaljnje objave.
OPOMBA 2 Parafinsko dizelsko gorivo se uporablja tudi kot komponenta za mešanje za dizelsko gorivo za motorna vozila. V tem primeru so sestava in lastnosti končnih mešanic določene z ustreznim standardom za specifikacijo goriva.
OPOMBA 3 Za namene tega dokumenta izraza »% (m/m)« in »% (V/V)« predstavljata masni delež (µ) oziroma prostornino (φ).
