Performance Analysis of Diesel Blended Insulating Oil In A Ci Engine
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 6
Abstract
Insulating oil other wise called as transformer oil is oil that is stable at high temperatures and has excellent electrical insulating properties. It is used in oil-filled transformers, some types of high-voltage capacitors, fluorescent lamp ballasts, and some types of high-voltage switches and circuit breakers. Insulating oil which is used in transformers after a prolonged use becomes waste and is disposed of. The disposal of used insulating oil causes an environmental pollution. The used insulating oil has properties very similar to that of diesel. By taking advantage of this, insulating oil can be used as an alternative fuel in diesel engines. Experiments were conducted to evaluate the performance of insulating oil blended with diesel in the ratio ranging from 20% to 40% of insulating oil at a regular interval of 10% by volume basis was used. Increase in thermal efficiency was found for insulating oil blends when compared to that of diesel. Among those IO40 (40% insulating oil in diesel) was found to be an optimum blend. The results were analysed and compared with that of diesel operation. Increase in thermal efficiency was found higher for blended fuels than diesel. The components in emission were nearly similar for blended fuels and diesel.
