In this article the potential of ammonia as a fuel for compression-ignition engines (CI) was assessed. The physicochemical properties of ammonia, its combustion characteristics and possible ways of implementing in a CI engine were presented. The research results published in the literature were analyzed. Exemplary dependencies regarding the influence of supplying the engine with ammonia-diesel oil mixture on the engine torque, fuel flow rate and the emission of selected pollutants were showed. Based on the considerations presented, it can be concluded that in the case of CI engine, ammonia can be treated as an alternative fuel in a dual-fuel system with another fuel, which has better auto-ignition properties.

W niniejszym artykule dokonano oceny amoniaku jako potencjalnego paliwa do silników o zapłonie samoczynnym (ZS). Przedstawiono właściwości fizykochemiczne amoniaku, dokonano charakterystyki jego procesu spalania, i opisano możliwe sposoby doprowadzenia do silnika o ZS. Poddano analizie wyniki badań opublikowane w literaturze. Przedstawione zostały przykładowe zależności dotyczące wpływu zasilania silnika mieszanką amoniaku i oleju napędowego na moment obrotowy silnika, natężenie przepływu paliwa oraz emisję wybranych zanieczyszczeń. Na podstawie przedstawionych rozważań można wywnioskować, że w przypadku silnika o ZS amoniak może być traktowany jako paliwo alternatywne w układzie dwupaliwowym wraz z innym paliwem, które ma lepsze właściwości ze względu na samozapłon.
