Investigation of environmental indicators of diesel engine when working on methanol

Abstract

The increasing negative impact of internal combustion engines on the environment has given rise to a number of global problems, which in recent years have become a serious problem for humanity. The problem of reducing the toxicity of engine exhaust gases has become global and has become common to all countries. Toxic components of engine exhaust gases, entering the atmosphere, are transported by air currents over long distances, so reducing the content of toxic components of diesel engines is an urgent and urgent task, considered at the Federal level. The article presents an analysis of the main toxic components and an overview of the main ways of using methanol in engines, the application of the most effective method of using methyl alcohol for a diesel engine is considered. According to the results of laboratory and bench studies of various load and speed modes of a diesel engine running on methanol and diesel fuel, data on the content of the main components in the exhaust gases were obtained, and a conclusion was made about the efficiency of using methanol as a motor fuel.
