The impacts of diesel and canola biodiesel fuels on noise emission on diesel engines

Abstract

In this study, biodiesel was produced by converting canola oil to biodiesel bytransesterification method. The obtained canola biodiesel (B100) and diesel fuel(D100) were tested in a single-cylinder, four-stroke, water-cooled diesel engineto investigate noise emissions. In each fuel, the engine was operated under fullload and as a result of the tests, noise values were measured at a distance of 50cm from the four different points of the test engine and compared with the useof diesel fuel. During the noise emission measurements, the engine wasbrought to the test conditions in TS 1231 standard and the data were taken. Theexperiment values have complied with TS EN 590 for diesel fuel and TS EN14214 for canola biodiesel.As a result of the experiments, it was determined that B100 fuel was the idealfuel type regarding noise emissions.
