Analysis of biodiesel influence on unregulated gaseous emissions of diesel motor vehicles

Abstract

This scientific study is focused on the analysis of an influence of the experimental diesel fuel mixtures containing various portions of the biocomponent on the unregulated gaseous emissions generated by a diesel motor vehicle, which is equipped with the diesel engine utilizing the direct fuel injection system “common rail”. The main reason for the choice of this engine type was its wide usage in the current vehicles. The experimental diesel fuel mixtures were created as a mixture of the standard low-sulfur diesel fuel with the biodiesel, using various mixing ratios. The experiments were realized by means of a special 13-regime engine test cycle, which was intentionally developed for the diesel combustion engines. All the individual experiments were performed on the base of the given test cycle with 13 different operational modes. The obtained results offer a complex view on the generation of the unregulated emissions with regard to the operational conditions and taking into consideration operational loading of the given experimental engine.
