The Effectiveness of Used Cooking Oil As Substitute To Diesel
The Effectiveness of Used Cooking Oil As Substitute To Diesel
with physical properties comparable to commercially produced diesels. The researchers surveyed the
top three oil products that public utility jeepney drivers use: Caltex, Petron and Shell.
The biodiesel was produced through a process called trans-esterification. It makes methyl ester
from the used cooking oil that is similar to the complex hydrocarbon chains of petroleum products.
Glycerine and soap are the by products of this process. A percent yield of 73 percent makes the product
The Philippines is actually rich in energy resources. Filipinos are still seeking for the proverbial pot
of gold, not knowing that this black gold is sitting in their own backyard.
And so, the researchers thought of using a material abundant in the home-used cooking oil to
develop fuel for cars. The researchers would also want to know the feasibility and usefulness of used-
Biodiesel is non-toxic renewable fuel which has the potential to replace diesel fuel with little or no
modifications in diesel engine. Waste cooking oil can be used as source to produce biodiesel. It has

General Objective

Specific Objectives

To assess the environmental impacts of using biodiesel from waste cooking oil
METHODOLOGY
The Density, Kinematic viscosity of the PM, CF, & SF fuel is within the limits of the Biodiesel
Standards. The calorific value of the vegetable oils is slightly less when compared to diesel. The flash
point of the vegetable oils is high compared with pure Diesel and is safe to store and transport. The
aim of the work is to analyze emissions and the performance of the Diesel engine by using biodiesel.
This has been done by varying the injection pressure, fuelled with transesterified refined Palmolein,
refined Corn oil & refined sunflower oil (Methyl Esters) combined with pure diesel at different blends
(10%,+ 90% PD, 30%+ 70% PD, and 40%+ 60% PD).
The experimental run was carried out using a Kirloskar make, single cylinder, four strokes, and direct
injection diesel engine with a developing power of 5.775 kW at 1500 rpm at National Research Centre,
Engine Research Lab. Fig. 1illustrates a schematic diagram of the experimental setup. Technical
properties of diesel engine are showed in Table 2. Maximum electric power output is 10.5 kW for AC
generator is coupled directly to the test engine to determine engine output brake power. The intake
airflow was measured by sharp edged orifice mounted on the side of air box to dampen pulsating airflow
into engine. A U-tube manometer was used to measure the pressure drop across the
orifice. Thermocouple probes of type (K) were used for temperature measurements at different
locations in the experimental set up such as intake air manifold and exhaust gas. Two fuel tanks of 5 L
capacity were mounted fuelling the engine with diesel and biodiesel fuels. One burette with stopcock
and two way valves was mounted for fuel flow measurements and selecting between both diesel and
biodiesel fuels. OPA 100 smoke meter and MRU DELTA 1600-V Gas Analyzer were used for the
measurements of smoke opacity and exhaust gas concentrations (CO, HC, CO2 and NOX). The
experiment was carried out by varying engine load from zero to full load maintaining constant rated
silicate (50%) in a weight ratio of 15 : 1. Oil UU and a mixture of adsorbents were stirred and heated for
30 minutes at the temperature of 70–80°C. After completion of this process adsorbents were separated
from the oil through filtration of the hot suspension (about 60°C) in a filtration apparatus. Filtrated
The experiments were conducted at different load conditions, with different Injection pressure
at various blends of refined vegetable oil as fuel. The tests were conducted at a constant speed of 1500
rpm. The engine was allowed to run at No load condition for 10 minutes, using each proportion of the
blend before applying the load. The loads were increased gradually for each blend in steps of 25 %
upto 100% at constant speed of 1500 rpm at different Injection pressures (180 bar, 210 bar, and 240
bar) for various blends .The exhaust gases are measured by 5 gas analyzer from the exhasut stream
of the engine.
The oil purification process aimed to remove degradation products, which were formed
during frying of food, and to evaluate efficiency of applied mixture of adsorbents. Variation of specific
fuel consumption with engine load for diesel, waste cooking-oil blends (B10, B20 and B30) is shown
in Fig. 2. Specific fuel consumptions for waste cooking-oil biodiesel blends are higher than diesel fuel.
Biodiesel blends showed increase in fuel consumption approximately proportional to the amount of
biodiesel blended to diesel fuel. In case of biodiesel blends, diesel engine consumes more fuel than
Thermal efficiencies are slightly lower for biodiesel blends compared to diesel fuel at all
engine loads. The decrease in thermal efficiency for biodiesel blends was due to the poor combustion
characteristics and volatility of waste cooking-oil biodiesel compared to diesel fuel. Density of waste
cooking-oil biodiesel was higher than diesel fuel. Calorific value of waste cooking-oil biodiesel is lower
than diesel oil. Thermal efficiencies of waste cooking-oil biodiesel blends B10, B20 and B30 achieved
CO emissions variations with engine brake power are shown in Fig. 7. CO emissions
decreased with increasing of engine brake power at lower loads and then increased at higher loads.
Decreases in carbon monoxide emission for biodiesel blends were due to more oxygen molecules and
lower carbon content in biodiesel blends as compared to diesel fuel which lead to better combustion.
The presence of oxygen in waste cooking-oil biodiesel blends is helpful for better combustion and
reduction of CO emissions.
FINDINGS
Thermal efficiencies of waste cooking-oil biodiesel blends with diesel fuel were lower
compared to diesel fuel and specific fuel consumptions were found to be higher. Higher exhaust
gas temperatures were recorded for waste cooking-oil biodiesel blends compared to diesel fuel
for the entire engine load. Air-fuel ratios for diesel-biodiesel blends B10, B20 and B30 were lower
than diesel fuel. CO, HC and other emissions were lower for waste cooking-oil biodiesel blends
In the table showed the effect of waste cooking-oil biodiesel and its blends with diesel oil on
exhaust gas temperature at different engine loads. Exhaust gas temperature increases with increase
of engine load for all fuels. Thermal efficiency decrease for biodiesel blends about diesel fuel led to
increase of heat loss in exhaust gases and increase of fuel consumption. The trend may be due to
higher cylinder temperature inside the engine as more fuel is burnt. The heat loss in exhaust gases
increased with the increase in engine load. Higher exhaust gas temperatures are recorded for biodiesel
(B10, B20 and B30) is shown in Fig. 2. Specific fuel consumptions for waste cooking-
oil biodiesel blends are higher than diesel fuel. Biodiesel blends showed increase in fuel consumption
approximately proportional to the amount of biodiesel blended to diesel fuel. In case of biodiesel
blends, diesel engine consumes more fuel than diesel oil at the same power.
Showed the variation of CO2 emission with engine load for waste cooking-oil biodiesel
blends. CO2 emission is more for biodiesel and its blends than that for diesel fuel. The rising trend of
CO2 emission with engine load was due to the higher fuel entry as the load increased. CO 2 emissions
for diesel-biodiesel blends were higher than diesel oil and it is increased with the increase in blend
proportion. CO2 emission increase was due to higher oxygen content in biodiesel blends.
CONCLUSION
A single cylinder diesel engine was run using waste cooking-oil biodieselblends B10, B20
and B30. Performance and exhaust emissions were measured at different engine loads of 1, 2, 3 and
4 kW and a constant engine speed of 1500 rpm. Specific fuel consumption, thermal efficiency, exhaust
gas temperature, air-fuel ratio and mechanical efficiency were measured. CO, CO2, NOx, HC and the
mainly rapeseed, as raw material for the production of fatty acid methyl esters. A number of physical
and chemical properties of fats obtained gastronomy, and different oils and fats remaining after frying
frozen food
RECOMMENDATION
Synthetic blend oils evaporate less and help reduce fuel consumption. Synthetic blend
diesel oil is recommended for trucks and SUVs. If your vehicle already has 75,000 miles or more, you
need a heavy duty diesel engine oil to get your engines well lubricated and running well. This is some
recommendations:
1. As there are large amount of population in our place oil as diesel is good as alternative diesel.
3. It is good also for the environment that we can’t used a harm chemical
