| Abstract | Increase in energy demand, stringent emission norms and depletion of oil resources led the researchers to find alternative fuels for internal combustion engines. Many alternate fuels like Alcohols, Biodiesel, LPG, CNG etc have been already commercialised in the transport sector. In this context, pyrolysis of solid waste is currently receiving renewed interest. The disposal of waste tyres can be simplified to some extent by pyrolysis. The properties of the Tyre pyrolysis oil (TPO) derived from waste automobile tyres were analysed and compared with the petroleum products. The crude TPO has a higher viscosity and sulphur content compared to diesel fuel. Early investigations reveal that TPO blended with diesel could be used as an alternate fuel for diesel engines. The maximum TPO concentration in the TPO-diesel blend was 70 % and the engine failed to operate satisfactorily beyond this concentration. In the present work, the crude TPO was desulphurised and then distilled through vaccum distillation. Also, DTPO-Diesel blends were used as an alternate fuel in a four stroke single cylinder air cooled diesel engine without any engine modification. This paper presents the studies on the performance, emission and combustion characteristics of a single cylinder four stroke air cooled DI diesel engine running with the Distilled Tyre pyrolysis oil–diesel blends at higher concentrations. |
