“…Scania DC16 44A is a large multi-cylinder stationary CI engine dedicated to power production and was connected to a Marelli MJB355SB generator in the present study. This constitutes another innovative aspect of the present work, since according to the existing literature, the research on the use of CPO has been limited to small single cylinder engines (Lim et al, 2002;Kalam and Masjuki, 2004;Basinger et al, 2010). This is important, as sometimes the results obtained on small systems are hardly extensible to large direct injection CI engines.…”

“…In addition to deposit formation, engine wear problems may also arise due to the use of straight vegetable oils. More specifically, the alreadymentioned poor nebulization effect is often followed by deep in-cylinder penetration of fuel jet, which could result in a serious contamination and dilution of the lubricant, whose properties may deteriorate causing high friction losses and engine wears (Caine et al, 2004;Agarwal, 2007;Basinger et al, 2010;Liaquat et al, 2013). A high formation of carbon deposits may also contribute to the deterioration of lubricant properties, thus increasing the mechanical friction and the related wears (Agarwal, 2007).…”

“…Although several reports are available in the literature investigating the durability of CI engines fuelled with biodiesel (Husnawan et al, 2009;Fazal et al, 2011;Wander et al, 2011;Mofijur et al, 2013), little could be found on the use of straight (crude) vegetable oils (Basinger et al, 2010), and in particular on crude palm oil (CPO). It should be noted that even those research works are limited to small engines and short-term operations (Lim et al, 2002;Kalam and Masjuki, 2004).…”

“…Lubrication oil analysis is an important factor in determining material compatibility issues with alternative fuel engines. The main objective of crankcase lubrication is to reduce metal to metal contact and wear (Basinger, Reding, Rodriguez-Sanchez, Lackner, & Modi, 2010). Where there is wear and degradation, the wear materials are likely to be found in the engine oil and consequently the sump.…”

This works considered the possibility of using raw palm kernel oil as an alternative to petroleum diesel fuel in a VW engine. At present, very little results on engine durability tests of palm kernel oil use as a fuel has been recorded in literature. A Four-stroke indirect injection diesel engine with capacity of 314,280x 10³mm³ and compression ratio 20.1:1 with constant water cooler was used for the investigation. The engine used for the experimentation is an indirect diesel engine, which is normally the type installed on agricultural engines. The engine was run alternatively for 100 hours on petroleum diesel and palm kernel oil respectively. After the durability test, sample of the lubricating oil was collected and sent for laboratory test. Viscosity, additives and metallic debris was analysed during the laboratory test for both fuel cases to determine wear. Visual inspection was also carried out to determine the state of the engine before and after each run. The engine run with petroleum diesel fuel was compared with that of the engine with palm kernel oil based on their fuel supply system and the lubricating oil analysis. The results showed that raw palm kernel oil can be used as a substitute to petroleum diesel in an indirect diesel engine without any significant damage. In terms wear, the vegetable oil even showed better performance due to its high lubricity compared with petroleum diesel fuel. It is recommended that a heating system be installed on the engine to run on palm kernel oil. Keywords: palm kernel oil; raw vegetable oil; straight vegetable oil; durability; lubrication oil.

“…In the scientific literature, there is a lack of studies about faults in thermal power plants fed by these fuels. Some information about biomass plants failures is available (Wiltsee, 2000), while limited analysis of faults of reciprocating engines fed by biofuels is reported (Basinger et al, 2010;Hossain and Davies, 2010).…”

Purpose – The aim of the study is to identify main failure phenomena and to evaluate reparation costs, reparation time, loss of profit and their relationship with power plant and faulty components age. In this work, several machinery breakdowns occurred in thermal power plants fed by solid biomass, biodiesel, biogas and municipal solid waste, have been investigated. In the period between 2004 and 2012, 23 faults have been analyzed. Design/methodology/approach – Each fault has been classified considering: power plant technical specifications, type of damage, reparation cost, reparation time and loss of profit (when data are available). The whole data have been, therefore, compared to find out significant information. Findings – It has been pointed out that relevant property damages are mainly caused by old components failure. In addition, the loss of profit is generally much higher than the property damage (six times on average basis). Originality/value – The study provides useful information that can be of interest for personnel of energy utilities, banks and insurance companies in managing power plants risks and in planning the availability of energy services.
