摘要:In the scenario of depletion of fossil fuels, the search for alternative fuels has become inevitable.Vegetable oils and alcoholsare important substitutes for diesel fuels. The drawbacks associated with crude vegetableoils (high viscosity and low volatility) and alcohol (low energy content and cetane number) gave rise to combustionproblems in diesel engines. However, high viscous vegetable oil call for low heat rejection (LHR) or semi adiabaticdiesel engine. Investigations were carried out to study exhaust emissions of a low grade LHR diesel engine consisted ofceramic coated cylinder head with different operating conditions [normal temperature and pre-heated temperature]ofcrude rice bran vegetable oil with varied injection timing and injector opening pressure. Comparative studies onexhaust emissions were made with diesel working on similar conditions.Particulate emissions decreased, while NOxlevels increased with LHR engine with crude vegetable oil in comparison with CE with vegetable oil. Exhaustemissions improved with increase of injector opening pressure,advanced injection timing and preheating of crudevegetable oil.
