Abstract | This paper investigates into the use of Crude Palm Oil (CPO) as a fuel extender for diesel engines. Three mixtures of CPO with ordinary diesel fuel (OD) were used in a direct-injection, stationary Perkins diesel engine. The three CPO-OD mixtures contained 25%, 50% and 75% of CPO by volume. In order to reduce the viscosity of the CPO-OD mixtures they were preheated to about 60oC before injection. The paper compares the performance of these CPO-OD mixture, with that of ordinary diesel fuel, at a fixed throttle opening but variable engine speed of 1000-3000 rpm. |
