Comparación del consumo de combustible y emisiones contaminantes (CO y HC) de un motor diésel utilizando combustible comercial y biodiésel mediante pruebas estáticas

Abstract

The objective of this study is to compare the fuel consumption and pollutant gas emissions of two types of fuels for compression ignition engines. The first fuel is biodiesel made from 100% castor oil, 99.8% methanol and 10% sodium hydroxide through agitation-heating plates with optimum temperatures and rpm for biodiesel production; on the other hand, the second fuel is commercial diesel. Pollutant emissions and fuel consumption tests were conducted on a 2006 Hyundai Santa fe (SM) 2.0 TCI-D diesel engine. The pollutant emissions tests were performed with a gas analyzer, which obtained data with commercial diesel and biodiesel and its result was the basis for comparisons of HC and CO emissions. The fuel consumption tests (commercial diesel and biodiesel) were carried out using an automotive scanner that stores data to make comparative graphs of the data obtained. The results show that the biodiesel that was produced decreases polluting gases at 2500 rpm. In terms of consumption, the biodiesel at 2500 rpm has higher consumption than commercial diesel.
