About this title

Synopsis

This study is an attempt at achieving diesel fuel equivalent performance from diesel engines with maximum substitution of diesel with renewable fuels. In this context the study has been designed to analyze the influence of B20 algae biodiesel as a pilot fuel in a biodiesel- biogas dual fuel engine, and results are compared to those of biodiesel and diesel operation at identical engine settings.Experiments were performed at various loads from 0 to 100 % of maximum load at a constant speed of 1500 rpm. In general, B20algae biodiesel is compatible with diesel in terms of performance and combustion characteristics. Dual fuel mode operation displayslower thermal efficiency and higher fuel consumption than for other fuel modes of the test run across the range of engine loads.Dual fuel mode displayed lower emissions of NOx and Smoke opacity while HC and CO concentrations were considerably higher as compared to other fuels. In dual fuel mode peak pressure and heat release rate were slightly higher compared to diesel and biodieselmode of operation for all engine loads.
