Investigation of the usability of essential oils in diesel engines as a new biodiesel source
Öz
This article has focused on essential oils as alternative fuels and fuel additives. The essential oil is obtained from Salvia Candidissima plant. While a Clevenger type apparatus was used to determine the oil yield of Salvia Candidissima plant, a retort was produced for the bulk oil to be used in the experiments. The compounds of the obtained oil were determined by Gas chromatography / Mass spectrometry (GC / MS) and the essential oil was converted into biofuel. The produced biofuel was added 5% by volume to the reference diesel fuel (DF) and mixed fuel (SB-5) was formed. Later, SB-5 and DF fuels were tested at 1500 fixed cycles and different loads, and emission and combustion data were obtained. As a result of the experiment, effective decreases in Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Hydrocarbon (HC) emissions and increases in NOx emissions were observed with SB-5 fuel mixture. In addition, higher combustion data were obtained with SB-5 fuel mixture than DF fuel.
