A Performance Test of Diesel Power Generation Machine Using Biodiesel Fuel and Brown Gas
Keywords:
Solar Fuel, Biodiesel, Fuel Performance, Power PlantAbstract
The use of diesel fuel has an important role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and supporting renewable energy. Biodiesel, which is similar to conventional diesel fuel, is considered a promising alternative fuel for diesel engines. I carried out tests by adding biodiesel and brown gas (HHO) to diesel fuel in a diesel power plant. I tested the mixture at 10%, 15% and 20% at loads of 100 watts, 200 watts, 300 watts, 400 watts and 500 watts. Based on this research, the author obtained test results for the highest effective power value produced when using B0_HH0 fuel of 239.05 watts and the highest torque value produced when using B0_HHO fuel of 1.79 N.m at a loading of 500 watts.
