Abstract

The dependence of the Indonesian people on the use of diesel fuel is still very high and is proven by the increasing consumption of diesel annually. Increasing diesel fuel consumption is a problem that must be anticipated because diesel is a fossil of fuel and non-renewable. One way to overcome this is to convert the use of fuel from fossil fuels to biofuels, such as biodiesel fuel. Biodiesel from palm oil is an option because Indonesia is the largest palm oil-producing country globally. Although theoretically, biodiesel can be used directly in diesel engines, there are very few studies related to the effects of using biodiesel and the potential for further development. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the combustion temperature of B100 and B20 fuels operated in long-term testing. This study uses two Kubota diesel engines with a cylinder volume of 376 ccs each. Each engine will be coupled with a generator to power the halogen lamps with a total power of 4000 W. The two engines will use different fuels, the first engine will be filled with B20 fuel, and the second engine will be filled with B100 fuel from palm oil. The engine rotational speed is constant at 2200 rpm, and the engine is operated for 300 hours without stopping. Every multiple of 4 hours, the combustion temperature measurement is carried out on the cylinder head, cylinder block, and exhaust gas pipe. The results show that the B100 engine produces lower combustion temperatures in the cylinder head, cylinder block, and pipe exhaust gas with 1.7%; 1.2%; and 2.7%, respectively.

Abstract

Indonesian people's reliance on diesel fuel is still quite strong, as seen by the rising yearly use of diesel. Because diesel is a fossil fuel that is not renewable, rising diesel usage is a concern that must be anticipated. One approach to deal with this is to switch from fossil fuels to biofuels like biodiesel. Because Indonesia is the world's largest producer of palm oil, biodiesel from palm oil is an alternative. Although biodiesel may potentially be used directly in diesel engines, there are few researches on the impacts of utilizing it and the possibility for further development. As a result, the goal of this research is to look at the combustion temperature of B100 and B20 fuels in long-term testing. Two Kubota diesel engines with 376 cc cylinder volumes are used in this investigation. Each engine will be connected to a generator that will provide 4000 W of electricity to the halogen bulbs. The two engines will run on separate fuels, with the first using B20 and the second on B100 from palm oil. The engine has a continuous rotational speed of 2200 rpm and has been running for 300 hours without stopping. The combustion temperature of the cylinder head, cylinder block, and exhaust gas pipe is measured every multiple of 4 hours. With 1.7 percent, 1.2 percent, and 2.7 percent, respectively, the B100 engine delivers lower combustion temperatures in the cylinder head, cylinder block, and pipe exhaust gas.
