- Abstract
This experimental investigation deals with running the IC engine with waste plastic oil (WPO) blends in diesel and LHR. The properties of the oil derived from waste plastics were analyzed and it was found that it has properties similar to the diesel, low heat rejection technique is also employed to improve the performance of the engine by coating the piston, cylinder head with PSZ coating at different thickness. Waste Plastic Oil (WPO) blends in diesel with LHR was tested as a fuel in a D.I. diesel engine and its performance characteristics were analyzed and compared with diesel fuel (DF) operation. It is observed that the engine could operate with waste plastic oil blends in diesel with low heat rejection such as used as fuel in diesel engines. Oxides of nitrogen (NOx) were higher by about 20% and carbon monoxide (CO) reduced by waste plastic oil blends in diesel with LHR operation compared to diesel fuel (DF) operation. Hydrocarbon was reduced by 15% and smoke also reduced by 20% at full load for plastic oil blends in diesel with LHR compared to DF. Engine fueled waste Plastic oil blends in diesel with LHR exhibits higher thermal efficiency up to 80% of full load and exhaust gas temperature was higher at all loads compared to DF and WPO blends with LHR operation.
