Cetane Improver is a chemical that has the effect of increasing a diesel fuel’s Cetane number. A few examples are nitrates, nitroalkanes, nitrocarbonates, and peroxides.
One of the main Cetane Improver additives manufactured today is 2-Ethylhexyl nitrate (CAS n°: 27247-96-7)[1] which starts to decompose at 130 °C. 2-Ethylhexyl nitrate is the result of the reaction of 2-ethyl hexanol and nitric acid.
The crudes used by the refineries are more and more difficult to refine. This results in a Diesel fuel of lower ignition quality.
The use of Cetane Improver additives constitutes both a cost-effective and convenient way to reduce emissions[6] and improve engine performance.[citation needed]
Refiners also use Cetane Improver additives in their Premium Diesel fuel for enhanced performances.
While gasoline needs a spark to be ignited, Diesel fuel requires only the combination of the right pressure and temperature to start the combustion, with no outside assistance. The Cetane Number is a key property of Diesel fuel, as it measures its aptitude to self-ignite in the combustion chamber.
The autoignition temperature of Diesel fuel is around 220 °C at atmospheric pressure. Cetane Improver additives are used to decrease this temperature and lead to quicker combustion, by increasing the Cetane number.
