Chapter 760 Defects of methanol fuel

Director Wan is very interested in methanol fuel vehicles. After all, this is related to whether methanol fuel can be widely promoted in the future. Due to the rapid economic growth in recent years, our country has changed from a pure crude oil exporter to a pure crude oil exporter now.

importing country.

And as the economy continues to grow rapidly, the gap in my country's imported crude oil is increasing every year, especially after the Americans attacked Iraq and took control of oil production in the Middle East.

Research has been done above. If my country's annual crude oil imports continue to maintain the current high growth trend, and the high asking prices will seriously restrict domestic economic development and bring about very serious inflation in the country.

Therefore, there is a lot of interest in alternative fuels, and everyone wants to find a suitable fuel to solve the current problem of high oil prices.

At present, it seems that Huayang Power is the only company with such technical capabilities in China. After all, methanol gasoline has already existed for a long time, but later it declined due to various reasons. Its shortcomings are not suitable for consumers in the automobile market.

Yes, it's obvious.

Jin Xiaoqiang took Director Wan and his entourage directly to their special vehicle research institute. Originally, this place was used to study armors or special vehicles such as supercars, but now because many models have been finalized and launched, and subsequent updated models,

There was no rush to launch it, so the research institute had some time to relax after finishing its busy research on supercars.

At that time, Jin Xiaoqiang felt that this situation could not continue, so he simply moved the research on methanol fuel vehicles to this research institute. In fact, their research on methanol fuel vehicles has been going on for a long time, starting from the time when Jin Xiaoqiang founded China Four Years ago.

When he was working at Yang Dynamics, he had considered the issue of high oil prices in the future. At that time, he was thinking about the domestic situation and what kind of model would be most suitable to develop.

In Jin Xiaoqiang's memory, the years 2009, 2010 and 2011 were the years when domestic car consumers were most seriously troubled by oil prices.

In those years, due to the country's automobile support plan, the automobile market share increased sharply. Many consumers who had never considered buying a car originally became interested in buying a car because of the country's preferential policies.

But when everyone bought a car, they discovered that although the car was cheaper, the price of oil was rising like a somersault as the car market share expanded, and as long as it went up, it basically would not fall.

Come down.

Many people cursed China Petroleum and Petrochemicals because of this. In addition, during that period, scandals broke out frequently between China Petroleum and Petrochemicals. As a result, many consumers were very distrustful of China Petroleum and Petrochemicals, thinking that they were

Parasites, a group of cysticercids that attach themselves to people.

In fact, in Jin Xiaoqiang's view, the high oil prices in later generations are certainly related to the incompetence of China's oil and petrochemical industry. However, they are also closely related to international factors.

On the one hand, Americans control almost the most important oil-producing areas in the world, and the international currency has been completely tied to petrodollars. In order to export inflation abroad and slow down domestic economic pressure, Americans are desperately printing money.

As a result, although the international economic situation is sluggish, oil prices will not drop at all.

Our country is already the largest crude oil importer in the world. We lack crude oil import channels, so we have no choice but to suffer. In this way, the rise in domestic oil prices is inevitable. Coupled with the domestic inflation trend, it will also lead to rising oil prices.

The main reason is that it can even be said that the two complement each other.

But as for whether oil prices will rise that high, Jin Xiaoqiang believes that there is still some water in it, and these water, of course, belong to the "three public expenditures" of petroleum and petrochemicals.

Since the rise in oil prices is an inevitable trend, if ordinary people want to ensure their quality of life and protect their pockets at the same time, they must face several choices when buying a car. One is to buy a small-displacement scooter;

One is to buy hybrid vehicles, and the other is alternative fuel new energy vehicles.

When buying a small-displacement scooter, the general displacement is about 1.0l, and the power will definitely be relatively weak. Such a model is also relatively small, and not everyone can accept it, especially as we Chinese people are very proud, so even if such a car is

There is a market, but many people only choose such a car out of desperation.

If you choose a hybrid vehicle, the price of the battery system of this hybrid vehicle will not be too low in the future. Although the state may provide a considerable amount of subsidies, the price of this hybrid vehicle will not be too low due to its high technology.

As a gimmick, the price will definitely not be set too low. After all, if the price is set too low, not only other peers will be unhappy due to market pressure, but even the oil giants will not agree.

The third type is the so-called alternative fuel new fuel vehicles, such as those that burn natural gas, those that burn ethanol gasoline, and those that burn methanol gasoline.

At that time, Jin Xiaoqiang chose hybrid vehicles and alternative fuel vehicles as a breakthrough point. Hybrid vehicles are high-end technology-intensive and capital-intensive industries, so this is definitely the way to go.

Other alternative fuel new energy vehicles are relatively low-end. After all, these alternative fuel vehicles have actually appeared for a long time.

Gas-fired vehicles have been around for a long time, and they exist now. However, in the future, it will not only be difficult to refuel in China, but it will also be equally difficult to fill up with gas. Furthermore, such vehicles put a large gas tank in the trunk. In the event of a rear-end collision, it is equivalent to carrying a gas tank on your back.

It is a bomb, so many regions will not release this type of car now and in the future, and it is not easy to pass the policy.

Ethanol gasoline models are easier to handle, but this type of ethanol fuel had to be abandoned in the end because it faced the problem of competing with the public for profit.

In this way, the remaining fuel was methanol fuel, so Jin Xiaoqiang directly chose the methanol fuel model as a breakthrough.

Methanol fuel was once very popular in the United States, but then it gradually declined. The same is true in Japan. Now it is only used in some buses and large trucks, but it is not widely used. That is because people are not short of fuel.

Secondly, there is no need for them to build a pipeline specifically for methanol, but in China, Jin Xiaoqiang believes that this is a promising option.

"The first problem you have to face when using methanol fuel is corrosion of the engine. Methanol generally does not corrode other metals except lead. However, when it is powered on, it will cause electrical corrosion, corrode the electromagnetic brush in the oil pump, and also cause corrosion.

There is a fuel gauge sensor in the mailbox, so as early as the beginning of the design, we made enhanced sealing protection measures for these two parts. The second point is the problem of methanol ignition point. If you use methanol fuel, you will face problems in winter.

Difficulties in starting the car, etc. We have also studied this aspect, such as

If mixed with gasoline at a ratio of 15%, methanol fuel will achieve the best combustion effect, and in the summer, the mixing ratio will be higher. In this way, we have made a rough calculation. According to the current and future years

Calculating the methanol price trend in 2017, on average, a car using methanol fuel will save 32 yuan per 100 kilometers per 100 kilometers compared to a pure gasoline car. Of course, this is leaving some time for the petroleum and other sectors.

On the premise of sufficient profit margin..."

Jin Xiaoqiang's explanation was very considerate, and he even helped the petroleum department budget the formula ratio, which made Director Wan feel very comfortable. Take a look at Huayang Power, is this a company that truly cares for the people?

When I think about the other large national car companies, they are incapable of doing anything. When the National Development and Reform Commission comes to ask for policies, they are all confident. Thinking of those companies, Director Wan's liver trembles with anger.

"Xiao Jin, please tell me the emulsification problem caused by methanol fuel and the solution to the problem of discharging the methanol in it!"

Director Wan asked directly. When Jin Xiaoqiang heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised, wow! This Director Wan is quite knowledgeable. He is not the kind of leader who likes to give random orders without knowing anything.

Look at Liu Yonghao again. He is also standing aside and looking at me with a smile. It is obvious that he must have done a lot of homework before coming here. Thinking about it again, he was in the capital in front of Liu Yonghao, but he blew the methanol fuel.

There is so much hype, but in fact, do people not know the advantages and disadvantages of methanol fuel?

Otherwise, we wouldn’t have introduced ethanol gasoline first instead of methanol gasoline, right? The most fatal flaw of methanol gasoline really lies in these two points, which are also the most difficult for ordinary consumers to accept.

, and the two most resistant points to methanol fuel.

One is corrosion of the engine, and the other is the toxicity of methanol gasoline.

The reason why most people say that methanol gasoline corrodes engines is this. In fact, except for the corrosive effect on lead, methanol does not corrode other metals at other times. When electricity is applied, it will corrode some metals.

But it only involves the oil gauge in the fuel tank and the oil pump. As for the other parts, it will not corrode.

But if your car was a gasoline car before, then after using it for a period of time, due to high temperature and age, there will definitely be some colloidal substances in the oil circuit of the car. Methanol will dissolve these substances, which is a benefit.

, but it is also a disadvantage, because the swelling property of methanol can easily block the fuel injection hole.

Moreover, methanol itself has the characteristics of absorbing water. Once it comes into contact with water and gasoline at high temperatures, it will produce an emulsification reaction. This emulsified oil will directly lead to poor combustion inside the engine, engine shaking, loss of power and other problems, which also

This is what ordinary people think of as corroded engines. In fact, the actual situation has nothing to do with corroded engines. (To be continued)
