Investigating the noise generation of a compression ignition engine at different filters

Abstract

Noise is a very important phenomena for passenger comfort in a vehicle. Engine of the vehicles produce disturbing noises in different frequencies. In the application of acoustic, there are different filters to predict the sound pressure level and disturbing noises. The aim of the present study is to investigate the noise characteristic of a compression ignition engine at different weighting filters. In the experiments, the engine was fuelled with low sulphur diesel and sunflower biodiesel fuels and it run at different engine speeds ranging from 1200 to 2400 rpm, with steps of 300 rpm. The results indicated that noise characteristic of compression engine with engine speed shows different trends at A- weighting filter than C- and Z- weighting filters especially at 1500 rpm. Moreover, in the study, it was cleared that the SPL decrease with the addition of biodiesel fuel regardless of its ratio.
