One of the ways to reduce the impact of toxic exhaust components on the natural environment is the use of plant-derived fuels. The conducted research utilized such fuels, specifically blends of biobutanol with low-sulfur EKODIESEL ULTRA B diesel fuel. As part of the study, the concentrations of toxic exhaust components were determined. During the tests on an engine dynamometer, the tested PERKINS 1104C-44 engine operated according to its full-load speed characteristic across its entire rotational speed range.Restrictive exhaust emission standards require the automotive industry to conduct research and seek technical solutions that ensure the lowest possible harmful impact on the human natural environment [1, 2, 4].
Therefore, in recent years, North America (USA and Canada) and Europe have been investigating the impact of alcohol additives in diesel fuels on the operating parameters of compression-ignition engines. Canada is the most advanced in this type of activity, where diesel fuels with alcohol additives are already sold on a mass scale at fuel stations. (…)
