ABSTRACT
This article presents the outcomes of research regarding pyrolysis oils obtained from waste sources (WPO) used to power a compression-ignition engine. Oils obtained in an industrial process based on polypropylene (PPO), polystyrene (PSO) and used car tires (TPO) were used. Prior to conducting engine tests, a in-depth examination of the tested fuels parameters was undertaken. For the tests was used an advanced single-cylinder research engine utilizing split fuel injection technique. Emission analysis was performed using multi-compound FTIR analytical system. The WPO were blended with diesel fuel in proportions of 20%, on the mass basis and tested at middle engine load and variable EGR rates. Tests have shown that modern combustion systems compliant with the Tier 4 standard with multi-pulse injection can handle fuels with a WPO content of 20% without the need for recalibration. The addition of PPO did not significantly affect the emission, while mixing with PSO resulted in elevated levels of hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions. Regarding to the mixture with TPO, increased levels of particulate matter, sulfur oxides, aromatic compounds and formic acid were observed.
