Abstract
Emulsified residual oleins and standard diesel fuel were evaluated. The engine tests for the fuels analyzed were performed in a Petter single cylinder direct injection diesel engine under steady state conditions at fixed torque values (20 Nm and 34 Nm) and the engine speeds (n) between 1300-1700 rpm. Power output, specific fuel consumption, ignition delay and exhaust composition were evaluated. The emulsified residual oleins (ERO) shown lower power output joint to a higher specific fuel consumption related to the lower heating value of residual oleins compared to diesel fuel. A shorter ignition delay was observed for the ERO. Decreases in NOx emission were obtained for ERO compared to diesel fuel. The use of ERO in order to be a partial or full alternative to the use of diesel fuel for energy production was achieved.
