Rapeseed Oil Methyl Esters

Abstract The paper presents the laboratory test results determining physical parameters of fuel mixture made up of petroleum diesel oil, rapeseed oil methyl esters (up to 20%) and water (up to 2.5%). The obtained parameters prove that adding bio-components (rapeseed oil methyl esters) and water to fuel does not result in deterioration of their physical and chemical properties and are comparable to base fuel parameters, namely petroleum diesel oil. The mixture was a subject of bench testing with the use of a self-ignition engine by means of pre-catalytic fuel treatment. The treatment process consisted in fuel - catalytically active material direct contact on the atomizer body. At the comparable operational parameters for the engine, the obtained exhaust gases opacity was lower up to 60% due to the preliminary fuel mixture treatment in relation to the factory-made fuel injection system using petroleum diesel oil.

Global warming has forced humanity to care for greenhouse gas emission reductions, at the same time the production and use of biofuels. One of the positive environmental properties of biofuels is fast biological degradation. Biological degradability of pure rapeseed oil fatty acid butyl esters (RBE) within 28 days is 70% and such product meets the requirements for biofuel. During the same period, only 26% of mineral diesel fuel (D) is decomposed. Multi-component fuel containing up to 30% biofuel is less biodegradable and specified as a partially biodegradable material. The peroxide and acid number of pure biodiesel is growing rapidly when aging compared to that of mineral diesel and multicomponent fuel mixtures. The acid number of pure rapeseed oil fatty acid methyl esters (RME) was higher than the standard requirements after 3 weeks of storage. The acid number of mixtures containing 15% RME (RME15B15D70) and RBE (RBE15B15D70 and RBE25B25D50) was less than 0.5 mg KOH/g–1 after 8 weeks of storage. Multi-component fuel is more resistant to oxidation than pure biodiesel fuel.

Rapeseed Oil Methyl Esters

The article presents the technological aspects of the problems aimed at using alcohol biofuel mixtures in diesel engines kept in operation in Lithuania concerning a gradual replacement of fuel oils with biofuels. It is shown that three‐component fuels such as D‐RME‐E possess the motor characteristics close to mineral diesel fuel. The use of the EC standardized rapeseed oil methyl esters RME as a solvent allows compensating the unfavorable motor characteristics of ethanol E and increasing the number of biocomponents in the fuel at the same time. The key aspects of research on the indicator process and the operating characteristics of diesel engines running on alcohol biofuel mixtures are substantiated.
