Abstract

Air pollution is increasing due to the high exhaust emissions of motorized vehicles using fossil fuels. The solution is the use of alternative energy. Butanol and Diethyl Ether (DEE) are alcohols that can be used as a fuel mixture and are environmentally friendly. This is because butanol and DEE have high oxygen levels so the oxidation process in the combustion chamber increases and the residual gas results from combustion is better. This study tested the residual gas from the combustion of a 160 cc gasoline engine using a mixture of pertalite-butanol and pertalite-DEE fuels with 5%, 10%, and 15% alcohol percentages. The test results show that adding DEE produces better engine exhaust emissions than adding butanol. CO emissions decreased by 87% using DEE15 while B15 reduced CO by 72%. DEE10 improves HC by 73% while B15 improves HC by 72%. However, DEE15 increases CO2 by 17% and B15 by 11%. Meanwhile, the oxygen content increased by 8% in DEE15 and 6% in B15 compared to pure pertalite.

Abstract

The limited availability of fossil fuels and the growing demand for energy have led to a global energy crisis. Ethanol and DEE can be used as alternative energy to replace fossil fuels. Ethanol and DEE have high RON and oxygen content, as well as low viscosity, which accelerates the flame, thereby increasing torque and SI engine power. DEE is still rarely used as a gasoline blend, but its chemical characteristics can improve engine combustion. This study aims to compare the use of gasoline-ethanol and gasoline-DEE blends on SI engine performance. The test results prove that the DEE15 blend produces the highest torque value of 4.37 N.m or an increase of 28% compared to pure gasoline. The E15 blend produces the highest SI engine torque value of 4.31 N.m or an increase of 26% compared to pure gasoline. In addition, SI engine power increases by 28% in DEE15 and 26% in E15 compared to pure gasoline. From these test results, the use of a gasoline-DEE blend can improve SI engine performance better than gasoline-ethanol.
