DÜŞÜK ÇEVRE SICAKLIĞINDA E10 VE M10 YAKITLI BUJİ İLE ATEŞLEMELİ BİR MOTORDA EGZOZ EMİSYONLARININ DEĞİŞİMİ

Abstract

Biyokütle yakıtları, petrol bazlı yakıtlar gibi geleneksel enerji kaynaklarına önemli alternatiflerdir. Biyokütle yakıtlar özellikle alkoller binek araçlarda kullanılmaktadır. Alkollerin benzinle karışımları genel kullanım alanını oluşturmaktadır. Özellikle benzinol gibi düşük oranlarda kullanıldığında motorda değişiklik yapılmasına gerek yoktur. Benzinol, benzin ve özellikle etanolden meydana gelen bir karışımıdır ve genellikle yüzde 10 alkol içerir. Bu çalışma, düşük oranda alkol içeren (% 10 etanol veya% 10 metanol) karışımların kullanımının, motorun soğuk çalıştırmadan sonraki 600 saniyede içerisinde buji ile ateşlemeli bir motorunun neden olduğu egzoz emisyonları üzerindeki etkisini ele almaktadır. Deney sonuçlarına göre, alkolün fakirleştirici etkisinin emisyonlar üzerindeki etkisi deneylerin ilk 150 saniyesinde daha nettir. Motor çıkışındaki CO emisyonu kurşunsuz benzine göre ortalama olarak E10 yakıtı ile % 34,5 ve M10 yakıtında % 44,8 azaldı. Ayrıca HC emisyonu, E10 yakıtında ilk 150 saniyede ortalama olarak % 23,2 ve M10’da % 25 azalma gözlenmiştir. Motor çıkışındaki NO söz konusu olduğunda, yakıt türüne göre dikkate değer bir fark yoktur. Ayrıca çalışmada, diğer deneysel koşulları değiştirmeden katalitik konvertör ısıtılarak egzoz uç çıkışındaki emisyonlar ve konvertör verimi incelenmiştir. Tüm yakıtlarda emisyonlar önemli ölçüde azaltılırken verimlilik, özellikle CO emisyonlarında% 100'e ulaştı.

THE VARIATIONS OF THE EXHAUST EMISSIONS AT LOW AMBIENT TEMPERATURE FOR E10 AND M10 FUELED SI ENGINE

Abstract

Biomass fuels are important alternatives to conventional energy sources such as petroleum-based fuels. Biomass fuels especially alcohols have been used in passenger cars. Alcohol blends with gasoline constitute a general use. Particularly, modification of the engine is not required when using at low rates, like gasohol. Gasohol consists of a mixture of gasoline and especially ethanol, and it contains generally 10 percent alcohol. This study deals with the effect of the usage of low alcohol containing (10% ethanol or 10% methanol) blends on the exhaust emissions caused by an SI engine in the 600 seconds of the engine’s operating period from the cold start-up. According to the experimental results, the leaning effect of alcohol on the emissions is clearer in the initial 150 seconds of the experiments. The engine-out CO emissions decreased on average 34.5% for E10 fuel and 44.8% for M10 fuel compared to unleaded gasoline. Also, in the first 150 seconds, an average reduction of 23.2% E10 fuel and 25% M10 was observed in HC. When it comes to the engine-out NO, there were no significant differences by fuel type. Besides, in the study, the tailpipe emissions and converter efficiency were examined by heating the catalytic converter without changing other experimental conditions. Emissions were significantly reduced in all fuels, while efficiency reached 100%, especially for CO emissions.
