Özet

A commercial i-DSI (Intelligent-Dual Sequential Ignition) engine is tested to investigate performance and emissions for single fuels and alternative fuels mixed into gasoline. The novelty of the study is the first time testing of the unconventional mixture of boron derivatives and quantification and comparison of real engine characteristics for 11 different fuels for the same commercial engine. Tested single fuels are gasoline (G100), CNG (CNG100), and LPG (LPG100). While the engine runs with gasoline, gaseous fuels are injected into the intake line at a mass rate of 10% CNG (CNG10) and 5% LPG (LPG5). The engine is also tested by adding 25-50% acetone (A25-A50) and 50% naphthalene (N50) into gasoline. Tests are also performed by mixing boron derivatives of borax-pentahydrate (BP), anhydrous-borax (AB), and boric-acid (BA) into gasoline. Tested fuels worsen engine performance compared to gasoline, except for brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC). There is a positive change in emissions for tested fuels compared to gasoline, except that NOx increases 4-5 times for CNG and LPG. One of the important findings is that, for boron-gasoline mixtures, the torque reduces by 4.0% for BP, 4.4% for AB, and 4.4% for BA. The volumetric efficiency decreases by 6.3% for BP, 7.3% for AB, and 8.5% for BA. The BSFC decreases 5.8% for BP, increases 0.4% for AB and decreases 15.2% for BA. Boron derivatives dissolved in gasoline diversely affect combustion and give some advantage in particular for BA and BP in terms of BSFC. In addition, boron-gasoline reduces the formation of HC and NOx.
