Cooperative
Fuel Research Engine
A
cooperative fuel research engine is a standardized single-cylinder,
overhead valve, variable-compression ratio engine used throughout
the world for testing, research, and instruction in the performance
of fuels and lubricants for the internal combustion engine.
The first CFR engine was designed a built in just a month
and a half in 1929 by engineers of Waukesha Motor Company
(now a division of Dresser Industries) for use in developing
a gasoline knock-test method. CFR engines remain relevant
today for basic research in exhaust emissions and the suitability
of alternative fuels.
