Abstract
Due to the world’s growing population, the size of areas intended for food production in many countries of the world can only be achieved through severe environmental damage and deforestation, which has many other detrimental consequences in addition to accelerating global warming. By replacing the bio-content of fuels with other alternative fuels, land that is used for energy crops can also be used to grow food, thus mitigating the damaging effects of deforestation. Waste-based tire pyrolysis oil (TPO) can be a promising solution to replace the bio-proportion of diesel fuel. Since it is made from waste tires, it is also an optimal solution for recycling waste. This research shows the effect of different low-volume-percent tire pyrolyzed oil blended with diesel on the performance, fuel consumption, and emissions on a Mitsubishi S4S-DT industrial diesel engine. Four different premixed ratios of TPO were investigated (2.5%, 5%, 7.5% and 10%) as well as pyrolysis oil and 100% diesel oil; however, the following studies will only include the data from the pure diesel and the 10% TPO measurements. The experimental investigations were in an AVL electric dynamometer, the soot measurements were in an AVL (Anstalt für Verbrennungskraftmaschinen List) Micro soot sensor (MSS), and the emission measurements were in a AVL Furier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) taken. The scope of research was to investigate the effect of low volume percentage TPO on performance and emissions on a light-duty diesel engine.
Highlights
Growing energy consumption leads to a constant shortage and increased fossil fuel usage in this time and age
Pyrolysis is a process where organic material in the absence of oxygen is heated to a temperature at which it decomposes
The tire pyrolysis process begins with cleaning the rubber, shredding the waste tires into small pieces, and loading them into a rotary kiln
Summary
Growing energy consumption leads to a constant shortage and increased fossil fuel usage in this time and age. In Europe, the yearly tire waste output is over 3 million tonnes and over 17 million tonnes worldwide [1]. It is an increasing problem since most of the waste rubber ends up in landfills. Pyrolysis is a process where organic material in the absence of oxygen is heated to a temperature at which it decomposes. The experiments began with a pure diesel test. These data were used for later comparisons. The following experiments were2 2o.f59 vol%, 5 vol%, 7.5 vol%, and 10 vol% pyrolysis diesel content, they were not compared, due to the differences being minimal.
