Abstract
This study analyses the fundamental characteristics of recovered fuel derived from pyrolysis of scrap tyres. It investigates the differences between diesel and recovered fuel and between their performance characteristic curves. A plug-in engine control module is used in addition to the original engine control module to correct the curves to optimise performance. The feasibility of replacing diesel by recovered fuel is analysed and evaluated. The optimum combustion conditions for mixtures of recovered fuel and conventional diesel and biodiesel are determined. The results of this study can provide a basis for the design of electromechanical regulation systems to allow the use of recovered fuel in future diesel engines.
