Abstract
he article presents the results of tests
determining the impact of using sunflower oil methyl esters on
power and torque as well as unitary and hourly fuel
consumption of the Perkins 1104D-44TA engine. Biofuels were
produced in the Fuel and Energy Laboratory belonging to the
Maopolskie Centrum Energii Odnawialnej (Małopolskie Center
for Renewable Energy Sources), while analyzes of the selected
fuel parameters were performed both in the above-mentioned
laboratory and in the Liquid Biofuels Laboratory at the
University of Agriculture in Krakow. Engine tests were carried
out on the engine test stand at the Kielce University of
Technology. During the tests, the engine worked according to
the external speed characteristic. The results of the tests have
shown that the engine supplied with the SME achieves slightly
lower values of both power and torque than in the case of
commercial fuel oil type Ekodiesel Ultra from the ORLEN S.A
company. There was also an increase, especially in the case of
higher unitary fuel consumption. Hourly fuel consumption was
higher when supplied with SME in relation to the diesel fuel
supply, although not as much as unitary consumption. The
increase in SME consumption at the engine supply can be
explained by the lower fuel value of SME, which contains oxygen in its structure.
