Comparative Performance and Emissions of Diesel Engine Using B50 and Dual Fuel between Compressing Producer Gas and B50 for an Alternative Fuel
Abstract
The main objective of this research is the comparison between the use of diesel blended to 50% biodiesel (B50) and dual fuel between B50 and compressing producer gas from 76 to 125 lpm for a supercharging diesel engine connected with a generator. The engine speed was adjusted from 1,000 to 1,600 rpm. Biodiesel, which was mixed with diesel, was the palm ethyl ester, and producer gas was produced from the charcoal by using a downdraft gasifier. Results of engine test using the B50 compared with diesel indicate that the engine performance decreased slightly and the emissions were decreased galore, except carbon dioxide. On the other hand, supercharging producer gas combined with B50 leads to an increase in engine performance, but various pollutants were increased with increasing producer gas. However, the use of dual fuel between B50 and producer gas at 125 lpm had high fuel saving to 21.67% and 8.78% as compared with using B50 and diesel only. For applying to the diesel engine, the use of B50 combined to producer gas at 93 lpm is the best because the engine performance was similar to diesel and emissions were increased slightly.
