Abstract

This paper presents the results of naturally aspirated compression ignition (CI) internal combustion engine (ICE) bench tests of fuels in the form of a blend of diesel oil with recycled oil (RF) in the form of tire pyrolysis oil (TPO) as an admixture with the content of pyrolytic oil with the blend being 10% m/m (D90+RF10). The results relate to reference conditions in which the engine is fed with pure diesel oil (D100). The experiment included the evaluation of engine performance and the determination of the content of selected substances in the exhaust gas for brake-set engine loads equal to 5 Nm, 10 Nm, 15 Nm, and 20 Nm. For each load, engine operating parameters and emissions of selected exhaust components were recorded at preset speeds in the range of 1400–2400 rpm for each engine load. The hourly fuel consumption and exhaust gas temperature were determined. The contents of CO 2 , CO, and HC in the exhaust gas were measured. The consumption of D90+RF10 increased by 56%, and CO 2 emissions were 21.7% higher at low loads. The addition of sulfur-containing pyrolytic oil as an admixture to diesel oil resulted in SO x emissions. The results show the suitability of pyrolytic oil and the possibility of using it as an admixture to fossil fuels. In order to meet SO x emission levels in land-based installations and for vehicle propulsion, it is necessary to desulfurize fuel or desulfurize deSO x exhaust gas systems. The CO and HC emission levels in the exhaust gases from the engine powered by the D90+RF10 fuel meet current requirements for motor vehicle exhaust composition.
