Study of toxicity of diesel engine on alcohol fuel

Abstract

The paper substantiates the necessity of using alcohol fuels in diesel engines. It is shown that to obtain alcohol fuel for a diesel engine, it is advisable to use an emulsion of the following composition: ethanol-25%, detergent-dispersing additive succinimide C-5A - 0.5%, water - 7%, diesel fuel - 67.5%. The results of experimental studies of the effect of ethanol-fuel emulsion as an alternative fuel on the environmental characteristics of a diesel engine are presented. As a result of the transfer of the diesel engine to work on ethanol-fuel emulsion, there is a decrease in the exhaust gases of soot by 4.8 times, nitrogen oxides by 40.3%, carbon dioxide by 26.6%, carbon monoxide by 28.6%.
