Performance of a Biodiesel Fuelled Single Cylinder Electronic Injection Compression Ignition Engine
Keywords:
Jatropa, Biodiesel, PerformanceAbstract
High pressure electronic injection systems nowadays allow a very high degree of flexibility in the timing and pressure control of fuel injection, which can be used to obtain significant reduction in engine emission and improvement in engine performance. In this study an electronic direct fuel injection injectio single cylinder diesel engine was used. The engine was operated on biodiesel produced from Jatropa. Injection timings were changed to study their influence on performance and emissions. The results have been compared with 20 percent biodiesel blend and neat diesel operation. Advancing the injection timing and increasing the injector opening pressure increase the brake thermal efficiency and reduce hydrocarbons (HC) and smoke emissions significantly.
