Abstract
The paper presents the results of research on the
impact of Perkins 1104D-44TA engine powered with sunflower
oil methyl esters and, for comparison, with diesel fuel, in terms
of emission of CO, THC, NOx and O2. The tests were carried
out on the engine test stand. During the tests, the engine worked
according to the external speed characteristics in the range from
1000 to 2200 rpm. The esters used for powering the tested
engine were produced using the GW 200 reactor designed and
made by Grzegorz Wcisło, one of the co-authors of the paper.
The results of the tests carried out showed a decrease in the
concentration of carbon monoxide in the exhaust gases,
hydrocarbons when powering the engine with sunflower oil
esters in relation to powering the engine with diesel fuel. At the
same time, the concentration of nitrogen oxides and oxygen in
the exhaust gases increased. The reduction of THC and CO
emissions is the result of better combustion and afterburning of
fuel. However, the increase in the amount of oxygen in the
exhaust gases results from the fact that in the biofuel structure
there is oxygen which is used in combustion and reduces the
oxygen demand from the atmosphere. On the other hand, the
increase in NOx emissions is the result of a higher combustion
temperature than when the engine is powered by diesel fuel.
