EFFECT OF INJECTION TIMING AND INJECTOR OPENING PRESSURES
ON THE PERFORMANCE OF DIESEL ENGINE FUELLED WITH CEIBA PENTANDRA OIL METHYL
ESTER
Authored by Banapurmath NR
Experiments were carried out on a compression ignition (CI) engine to
study its performance at different injection timings (IT), injector
opening pressures (IOP) and nozzle holes. The Ceiba Pentandra oil methyl
ester (CPOME) was selected to check its suitability as CI engine fuel.
The engine was operated at 1500 rpm keeping hemispherical combustion
chamber (HCC) shape and compression ratio of (CR) of 17.5. IT of 27 °C
BTDC, IOP of 240 bar and injector of 5 holes yielded better
performance.Maximum BTE for CPOME found to be 27.25, 27.6 and 28%
respectively for 3, 4 and 5 holes injector at 80% load against 31.25%
for diesel with 3 holes injector and 0.3 mm orifice size. Smoke, HC, NOx
and CO emissions for CPOME powered diesel engine were found to be 46
HSU, 39 ppm,1088 ppm and 0.13% volume respectively for 5 holes injector
at optimized conditions. ID, CD, PP and HRR were 9.8 °C A, 40 °C A, 73
bar and 81 J/ oCA respectively for 5 holes injector. Finally it could be
concluded that CPOME powered engine operation with optimum engine
operating parameters like IT of 27 °C BTDC, IP of 240 bar, and 5 holes
injector showed overall better engine performance in terms of higher BTE
with reduced emissions.
