Abstract
Due to the shortage of the conventional fossil fuels and air pollution from combustion, new, sustainable and cleaner fuel resources are urgently required. Biodiesel has been introduced as a potential and alternative fuel for years. Biodiesel can be produced from different sources such as vegetable oils, animal fat, waste oil, etc.This study is intended to determine the effects of camelina ethyl ester, which is obtained from raw camelina oil by using ethanol, on engine performance mixing it with diesel fuel proportionately. Diesel, 80% diesel and 20% camelina ethyl ester by volumetrically and 100% camelina ethyl ester fuels were used as fuel. In the experiments, a four-cylinder, 1900cc, with turbocharged supplier diesel engine with Common - Rail fuel injection system was used. The experiments were repeated 3 times and the averages of the results were taken. When the results were investigated, it was seen that maximum torque, maximum power and specific fuel consumption values were measured in diesel fuel. Power and torque values of B20 and B100 fuels were a little lower than in diesel fuel and their specific fuel consumption was higher than the others.
