PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS OF WASTE COOKING OIL & SOYABEAN OIL BLENDS WITH DIESEL
Main Article Content
Abstract
In recent years, oil prices have been rising rapidly again and there is a major concern for the long term availability of fossil fuels. This and the growing concern for our environment have created a much larger market for renewable resources. The idea of using vegetable oils instead of fossil diesel fuels has resurfaced as a way to minimize the net carbon footprint left by emissions from compression ignition (CI) engines. Straight vegetable oils (SVOs) have their fair share of problems in unmodified CI engines. These problems include: cold-weather starting; plugging and gumming of filters lines, and injectors; engine knocking; coking of injectors on piston and head of engine; carbon deposits on piston and head of engine; excessive engine wear; and deterioration of engine lubricating oil. Vegetable oils decrease power output and thermal efficiency while leaving carbon deposits inside the cylinder.
