Abstract

The compression ignition (CI) engine is robust and deliver better performance with diesel and biodiesels. Rubber seed oil biodiesel (BRO) was tested for its feasibility as CI engine fuel. Exhaustive investigations were performedto study the effect of fuel injection timing (IT)andfuel injector opening pressure (IOP)on the performance, emission and combustion characteristics. The selected fuel showed better performance with IT of 27° bTDC (before top dead center)andinjector opening pressure (IOP) of 240 bar. At the optimum operating conditions BTE 27%, HC43 ppm, CO0.137vol.%, NOx 1080 ppm at 80% load. Overall the diesel engine yield higher BTE and lower emissions except NOx at IT of 27obTDC and 240 bar IOP.
