Effects of processing and chemical characteristics of plant oils on performance of an indirect‐injection diesel engine

Abstract: Engine performance curves were obtained for crude, degummed, and degummed-dewaxed sunflower oils and for crude, degummed, and alkali refined cottonseed oils using a single-cylinder, precombustion chamber design diesel engine. Crude oils gave very poor performance and are considered unsuitable for use as alternative diesel fuels. Performance curves for processed sunflower and cottonseed oils were slightly better than for diesel fuel, but increased carbon deposits and lubricating oil fouling were noted. Although… Show more

“…This can contribute to lower CO emissions. Adversely affects engine POLYUNSATURATED OIL -When high linoleic/linolenic acid oil is used, the engines often cannot last long enough to perform long duration testing [12]. The cylinder buildup and ring corrosion is so severe that catastrophic engine failure occurs [10].…”

“…The irst approach consisted on directly using vegetable oils without any chemical transformation as direct fuel. Thus, soybean oil [35], sunlower oil [36], canola oil [37] or rapeseed oil [38] have been studied. However, the direct use of vegetable oils or the use of blends with traditional petroleum-based diesel has not been considered a suitable solution due to the high viscosity, the gum formation due to oxidation processes and the deposition of carbon on piston and head of the engines [39].…”
