The paper presents the results of tests and their analysis regarding the measurement of effective performance indicators of a compression-ignition engine, type PERKINS-1104C. The engine was powered by a mixture of hydrocarbon fuel with ethanol and low-sulfur hydrocarbon diesel fuel. The influence of various fuels on the engine’s effective performance indicators was demonstrated.Since the late 1980s, there has been a significant increase in the demand for alternative fuels. The purpose of using these fuels to power engines is to ensure the largest possible fuel base for a given country. One of the ways to solve this problem is the use of ecological fuels: low-sulfur diesel oils, vegetable oils and their esters, as well as their mixtures with ethanol [3, 8].
This provides an opportunity for the development of new fuel production technologies in a given country, additional jobs, and positive ecological effects. (…)
