Biodiesel engine performance and emissions in low temperature combustion

Engine performance and emission comparisons were made between the use of soy, Canola and yellow grease derived B100 biodiesel fuels and an ultra-low sulphur diesel fuel in the high load engine operating conditions. Compared to the diesel fuel engine-out emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx), a high-cetane number (CN) biodiesel fuel produced comparable NOx while the biodiesel with a CN similar to the diesel fuel produced relatively higher NOx at a …
